♥♥♥ Guppies with Love Decor ♥♥♥

This morning I was clean my cute and small aquarium☺  , which made of glass jar from Prego pasta sauce which I already used the sauce to made my favorite dishes.
Just want to share because Iam decor lover so I decided to decor my aquarium to make my little guppies  feel comfortable in their small home. 


Here you can see my small aquarium. Yes the guppies are there! Haven't decided yet their name at the moment.


I decorate the jar with my handmade accessories, using faux blue pearl, glass beads and silver plated chain. Then there is a little bird clip. Imagen that little bird are stoping by to say Hi! to the guppies. Some simple plant to made some cozy and green felling.


Finally I put some mix of stone chips, maybe you wonder why the watter is blue. Well, I put some aquarium salt in it. The salt are in blue color, so it made blue water. Dont worry its safe for the guppies. 


Now the aquarium are in my work desk, I just love to see it happily swimming in their small home.Bring so much inspiration to my day.

after pearls, crystals and glass bead  join together

my work corner


As you can see in the picture, all material that I used is pearls, swarovski crystals, quartz, glass beads, wire, etc. All material need different treatment some hard, some soft, some shiny...but thats why I found made jewelry is something excited and once you in, you will find your own creative wonderland.

Well, picture above show you the process. now the finishing touch!




In these jewelry design, I used purple quartz, diferent size of faux pearls. I made it in set, with one rings design. I made it as hairband for bride to be. The ring is adjustable in any size of fingers. Lately Iam so inspired by romantic and elegant colors, I think it will great for wedding jewelry.
