Using old jeans for new jewelry

I have thought the other day - how people can use their old jeans .... To sew bags and purses, backpacks, make a shorts and an aprons, placemats, coasters, oven mitts and many many others ideas...One on them is here - denim jewellery! Have a look -

Denim pi brooch or scarf holder and

Denim necklace (pendant)

 Small stuff is easy to put in to a pocket - a key, a ring, a small greeting card, candy, pill and etc! Eh-he-hey!!

 

Whales party in my studio!

Already I have made a lovely collection of plush whales - it is interesting - why such creature is so popular as a softie? One mommy has written me - "I would like to decorate my son birthday in blue colors and Whale theme" (and has bought inviting cards with funny blue whales)..."I want your blue couple".

hm - to say truth - I love the whales :-) and love to sew them also. They are so cute!

May be I should make a Whale garland - just for fun?

A tulip pin for spring flowers lovers!

I admire a spring flowers - especially tulips! Now, winter Australia and I am awaiting these amazing time spring colorful blossoming.
How to feel charming  of the spring  all year? Have a look here  :-)

I make tulip bads of shimmering effect pure silk fabric. This rich and luxurious silk can "change" a bit colors in different light conditions.
And these flowers do not need water at all )

Are they beautiful?

Hope, I will get this spring these amazing floral creatures in my garden ) I have planted them 2 weeks ago!

Plush fellows of denim fabric

I love denim! It is beautiful and truly unique fabric. I had an interesting idea  -  to make of this textile a stuffed toys ... I chose a very thin denim fabric with shabby effect  to achieve smooth curved lines of the toys and be able to make the fine details.
So here they are!

miss Tricksy Snail

She loves a tulips and asked me to create a white silk tulip to carry it on her shell. I call her now miss Tulip Snail.

And a new sweet cute couple - Denim toys - Mother Whale and Baby whale. 

 

And now I'm deep in thought - who's next  one? Maybe Denim Bunny?
