Bespoke Poppi Lace Collection

Ah...finally finished a bespoke Poppi Lace collection for a customer in UK. She's going to wear them to a black and white themed ball in October. So cool! I'm very pleased with how the cufflinks and earrings turn out. Ah I can breath now...before I rush them off to the post office...

One week or so later...
my customer received them faster than I expected...here's what she has to say:
"I received the earrings, cufflinks and ring a couple of weeks ago - they are absolutely beautiful. THANK YOU so much. I shall pass on your details to my friends and also be back in touch with you when I need some more jewelry for a special event."

THANK YOU Emma, it's my pleasure!

Featured

Recently, I was so excited to be featured on two blogs.


One of them, is by a fellow artist on Etsy, Nancy Fallon from nfall2rt Design Studio. Read about what she has to say here.

She is what I would call a multi-faceted artist. She makes whimsical, colorful and fun pieces to keep you warm, keep you organised, decorate your wall and embellish yourself and look good all at the same time! You can see her beautiful work here.

The second is by a UK based blog by fancypicnic featuring my Bunny & It's Treasure bracelet on her Saturday Shopping List. She's is an amazing textile jewelry designer. See her work here.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank them both for discovering my shop and featuring my work.

Experiment & Explore

I've always loved to work with fabric. Primarily I started OpusMuse with mostly vintage beads, slowly it has evolved to include some industrial influence, some distressed finished pieces, and lately, I've started working with more mediums like fabric, leather, felt and others.

The process of discovering, exploring and learning new but old techniques and applying them to my design to make something different & unique is such a fun and enriching trip for me. I'm sure there's some machine out there now that can produce the same thing with the push of a button. But I just enjoy the fact that you can still make something beautiful and wearable with just your hands.

This is a fusion of my love for fabrics, texture and all things vintage inspired. It's named 'Nectar'. Made from silk, brass and swarovski crystal.

Nectar necklace using ruching, which is a labour intensive time consuming old sewing technique, which is still used in many high fashion couture design.
