Hey guys =) How's life?
I'm back with a post to reveal the winner of the competition I hosted a few weeks back..


dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!~*


the winner is 'Rain Xx15' from Australia! ~~ 


Thanks for all the entries guys!~ Was amusing to see how creative you were with just a few simple clues =P 


Notable entries include:~
Fortune Cookie and Devil's Spear


Tee Hee. Have Fun 

An Extra Clue =P

For those of you who are still thinking hard, here's another clue to the competition~*

Enjoy your day~ x

Competition Time~*

Quick Question:~ 

Do you (or did you) give Christmas Presents to teachers? 

*_* 

More than 1/2 of the people I've asked replied 'No'. 

But anyway, I've recently started to make a present for a special teacher ~ He's also the form tutor of my class ^^. 

So basically, below are several images of 'clues' as to what I'm making. Little helpers:~

*Yes, they are made out of paper

*Each of them are approximately 1/32 of a standard A4 sheet :) aka~ 210mm x 297mm 

 What's inside the mysterious box......?

Yup, used to be torn paper bits

If I am correct (and no one's tampered with them), there are 320 'little triangles' in the box at the moment.. Half way through!

 ^^ I'm not promoting Dior by the way.. just needed a background and also for size reference :) 

To make it fair, here are what some people think I'm making.. going to make

*Bird

*Space

*Hello Kitty

*Model of the Universe

*Swallows

^_^ if you know me well enough, it is clear that the suggestions above were influenced by my personal interests and the subject the Form Tutor teaches, Physics. 

Competition ends on the Midnight of St. Andrews Day ~ Google/WolframAlpha/Bing it if you don't know when it is =P

Each individual is allowed 2 guesses..

The winner (the person with the closest guess) will be announced shortly in December >__<

  

Sarah's Birthday~~

Happy Birthday Sarah :) May the Lord be by your side this Special Day!~


Today is Sarah's birthday, yup, I know that I've probably told you many-a-times that I dislike birthdays early in the (school) year but I still *try* (stress on 'try') to make an effort.
But if it really fails, I'd just find a way out hehe (^_^)


Back to the present/creativity~~
I made her a pair of Origini (sushi rice ball with seaweed bits) earrings :) and a little ghost charm~~ for the theme of October - Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.


hmm. wonder which readers of this blog celebrates Halloween?! One thing tho~ I don't, I might explain why in another post...


Right, enough rambling on Anita-- get to the point: ~Stages of 'Manufacture'

*WARNING -- PHOTOGRAPHED ON MESSY BACKGROUND...*

^ Letting them dry from Glazing :) hence the shininess ^

^ Painting the eyes on :) ^

^ Happy Little Dudes ^

^ Don't they just look so Happy? :) ^

^ Painting the lil' Ghost ^

^ Stupid horrible lighting ^

^ Attaching a jump ring on ^

^ Attaching a Earring Hoop ^

^ Bad Lighting again (grrr. ) ^

^ Close Up. but the lighting still fails >__< ^

Lets look at the card now shall we? (at this point I was quite.. hyper .. )





^ Made these 2 pictures larger so you can read it better :) ^

^ Back of the Envelope ^

^ All boxed up ready to be tossed around in my bag teehee :) ^

* Funny how in this lighting the box lid has a holographic effect <3 *

*Totally Forgotten*

.... guess what? I've totally forgotten this blog after the Paris Art Trip with school.. Got some jet lag (by the way, is that even possible if you travelled by train?) and been spending most of my summer on arty based work including homework!

But I will have to eventually get back to making things right? Early September there will be 2 birthdays... they say that presents are optional but it's always nice to receive one right (especially if it was handmade haha).

O_o

Nothing else to say really but I will find some time soon to design/create some more pieces ;)

Have a nice day everyone~

This was a display I put together a while back, entitled 'Prom Look #2'

July Update

Today is the 14th of July, 2010.

The day in which my auntie will hopefully (not the ''normal'' way - she's having the operation kind)be giving birth to another baby cousin.

It's also the day which I have handed out one of the 2 handcrafted pieces, to my IT teacher - Miss Strain. (The other one's for Miss Hodson - Form Tutor)

She's leaving for a job as Head of IT in Chester so I've decided to make her something - something that she will hopefully treasure forever :) (which also links into the name 'Zephaniah'.

I'm leaving for Paris next Monday morning in an art trip with school.. so these few days are my only chance to complete and give the pieces to teachers.

Last week I really didn't have faith in myself that I could complete these pieces because of an injury last Wednesday.

My right hand index finger was crushed / bent backwards during Basketball so I couldn't hold a pen properly let alone handle pliers and delicate findings.

Miss Strain's Reaction:~

She was.. surprised and happy in a way with a hint of amazement :)

Afterwards she came to talk to me and said that I should start a business one day .. she also said that she'd walk in seeing me sitting behind a desk.. and she would buy every piece

haha :)

~Best IT teacher ever.. Miss Strain's:~*

Miss Hodson's:~*

*How I wired the beads onto the chain*

**FYI the amount of pictures per Teacher doesn't mean how much I 'like' them.. it's just that I had more time to figure out the right lighting for Miss Hodson's...**

***Not that I don't care about Miss Strain's though..***

right.. rant over, have a nice day/night depending where you are right now and what time it is..

*~About Zephaniah's Collection~*

Zephaniah is a male name; meaning 'Treasured by God'. I am a student currently in England, United Kingdom. If you ask any of my friends to describe me; you are guaranteed an answer of either artistic or talented (lol).


I started to make jewellery in November 2009 for birthday and Christmas presents for friends and family. Ever since, I have been inspired by many things to create unique, handmade pieces.


From the moment I had the idea to make a 'Twilight Bella Bracelet' I just knew that in the future I would like to continue making jewellery for both entertainment and as a career.

(With Flash)

(Without Flash)

Hopefully, in the near future all my pieces will feature a finding or two that is of Swarovski Crystallized Elements.
