Cuff bracelet

I have enjoyed net window shopping. :) I found some cuff bracelets on Etsy. Those are simple design, but wonderful! I love it! I had an idea that order it, but almost handmade cuff bracelets are custom-made (put some word customer's favorite). It can not return articles, if the size is not fit on my wrist. So... I decided I make it myself! But, before I start, I studied in the web and book stores (reading at a bookstore) about how to make cuff bracelet by silver, what kind of tools need and how much cost to make.
Fortunately, I could buy cheap metal stamp in Amazon, and I could make three bracelets easily from one silver thin bar. Besides, I already have various tools to make miniature food and dollhouse. I can use them to make cuff bracelet. Anyway, it's economic. :))

This is my first handmade silver cuff bracelet! I oxidized silver cuff.
OK... it has a few problem (second "S" is upside-down :P) but could make good for first time. hehehe  I was uneasiness when I hit words on the silver bar, because it can not failure. It need more practice to good.

I found new hobby. :))) I enjoy to hit the word on the metal or silver. I want to cute design stamp, so I ordered another metal stamp in the web shop of United State. :) I couldn't find cute design metal stamps for metal in Japan. (There are metal stamps for leather. ) Besides, there are not unique alphabet font in Japan, simple only. ):-(  Now, I am worrying to buy unique alphabet font or not. ummm....

Stamp

The handmade stamp made by eraser is popular in Japan now. This is stamp I made. My drawing line is thin, but the line of stamp is thick and strong. A good carver have many skill can carve the line very thin. I only sometimes make the eraser stamp. So, it's difficult for me to carve very thin line. ):-( But! No problem! It's self‐satisfaction! ha-ha-ha~


The eraser for the stamp is sold. This eraser is hard a little and can be carved very smoothly.


It adjusts lines little by little.


Lovely craft~. :D

Ornament

The domestic exhibition I took part finished! My some works sold. I thank for customers! :D I made a lot of miniature works. My motivation meter in my heart is empty. So, I make other craft works. I rest making miniature for few days.

Well, I made ornament last weekend. I saw beautiful ornament with Swarovski bead at the shop. The Swarovski bead is crystal and it is called "Lucky charm". I decided to make that. I bought the crystal beads and made three ball of needle felting. This ornament is short to hung it on my desk light. The crystal bead glitter by the light of sun. It's beautiful! It's OK just this one. I feel dazzling, if there are few that. I will be have a pain in eyes!
