I was amazed when I saw this photo, it’s incredible to see how this chunky turquoise necklace really works for Megan Fox!
The simple design looks fantastic with that classic black dress and the hairstyle. Yet this is one of the easiest necklace designs to make yourself, isn’t that cool!?
A chunky necklace like this can practically be made with any turquoise gemstone bead!
I’ve always enjoyed making earrings with the help of chandeliers, and this pair of black chandelier earrings are so quick to make!
You just need two pretty earring chandeliers, a few black beads and you’re almost done! And why make a pair of these earrings? My reason for doing them is that they look fantastic and suits practically any clothes you could wear! 
They look stunning with skirts, jeans and even sports wear… And I don’t need to mention how perfect they are for your little black dress.
This crystal necklace has been on the waiting list for repairs for a while now. But yesterday I decided to finally finish the Faceted Crystal Necklace once and for all!
So what needs to be done to it? Well, the crystal necklace is lacking it’s Swarovski pendant, so I need a new one. In the morning I head of to the bead shops to find a suitable pendant!
I went to check out one of the most popular crafts markets in Oslo. It’s situated in a really interesting neighborhood with lots of graffiti! This market is open every sunday from about 12pm to 5pm, sometimes longer than that.

This is one of my latest designs, I love the pale purple beads in it. The small purple sandstone beads have a little glittery spark to them, and the pendant in this beaded necklace is just like a dinosaur egg!
I found the dark purple sandstone beads when I visited London last october, and the purple gemstone pendant [...]
Here in Scandinavia (Norway and Sweden) we have so much snow right now, I have to show you what it is like! I went for a walk in the woods with my sister, niece and a friend. The trees were covered with heavy snow as we arrived to the trail.
Truth is that I used to [...]
Visited a friends house the other day and had a real whiskey tasting! He had saved a bottle of Douglas Laings Premier Barrel which he got as a gift from us from some time ago.
It’s a singe malt scotch whisky in a very nice ceramic bottle as you can see. My husband found this premier [...]
Found this elegant flowing bead necklace on Hilary Duff. She has a really nice look with the clothes and jewelry together I think! Right now there is a trend “grand slam” with really thick layers of many beaded strands of necklaces round the neck. There are lots of celebrities wearing them now and looking gorgeous [...]
Found this great video on how to make a wire wrapped loop and I just had to share it with you! Use wire wrapping to spice up your beads and jewelry.
Being able to make pretty wire wrapped loops is a basic jewelry making technique which any beader or jewelry maker should know. I [...]
Found this fantastic book about making beaded earrings. The designs in this book are so modern and yet really simple! You don’t see that a lot in beading books, many beaded designs are either complicated and boring or modern and ugly. From what I read about from reviews on “Earrings Earrings Earrings” by Barb Switzer, there [...]
