Another BOLEYN Girl Brooch




I was impressed with "Another Boleyn Girl" movie I've watched on HBO several times. The girls were so attractive, in a very good shape (he3x) eventhough they caught in pales. I was then realized that perhaps, the last princess cameo I had in hand, could be suitable enough for this theme. Hence, I've made the curl on the up and bottom sides and then some body move on the right and left sides. I don't know what you have in mind about this style .... well ... just drop some lines as you wish ....

Triple White Woven Necklace




Found those druzy siblings at Liany Shop (http://lianyshop.multiply.com). Bought the first 2 when we were neighbor at Mutu Manikam Exhibition and the latest sister in some other times. Thanks for those kind favor Mbak Lia .....

This neckale, in fact, inspired by the Royal Princesses necklace displayed at Heri's Jewel (http://houseofjewelry.multiply.com). The necklace damn hooked me deeply (wowww) and I was rushed myself to make something in the line once directly seen it at the before-mentioned exhibition.

So .. friends .. I am now welcoming your comments about mine then ....

Beads Hunting




These are some beads I bought from my Cipanas' house neighbor. Still a lot from his pocket but eventually couldn't afford it (hehehehehe....). The man was very kind enough to give me 50% discount and that was definitely mean a lot to me. Enjoy the pictures ....

Red Agate Filigree Brooch




Agate Woven Brooch




This is one of my gemstone hunt. The seller told me that this gemstone called "akik sulaiman" and asked me to take all of them (there were 3pcs offered). Didn't need much time for me to decide as they were glad to gave me 50% discount for all. Those 3 are pretty big enough (height about 6cm and width 3.5cm - 4cm). I've decided to make 2 pendants and 1brooch with woven style.

Sekar's Ornamental Comb




Sekar had ordered this Ornamental Comb (SIRKAM) for such a long time ago. Had spent much times hunting the comb and just found it out in place that I've never expected able to kept this one. In fact, I'd loved to find the black one but the girl at the shop told me that they just have left the green for me. Well hope she'll like it anyway.

BEADS HUNTING TO SUKABUMI

Rating:
Category:Other
Got curious with this beads' source, from all those friends' stories, I was then (suddenly) decided went to Sukabumi to find out what was the place exactly. Accompanied by my lovely husband, sister-in-law, 2 lovely daughters and the loyal maid, we drove to Sukabumi from our house in Cipanas.

The trip was so challenging. We were surrounded by some hard-rains, which made us difficult to ask the map with villagers. Gathered by thick fogs and bumper to bumper traffic jamps in some certain points, I was fought with patient and temptation (what??? he3x). Eventually, not so much people knows about this gemstones store we were head to, hence some of them were mis-leaded us to nowhere. So frustrated!!!

After several hours driving (4 hours perhaps), we stopped at a raw gemstones mining and ask whether they know something about the source we were looking for. He mentioned a village called ANCAEN on the way to SARAGANTEN and gave us a raw map to work with. The second journey were began!! Again .... hard rains attacked, a trip was so tempted as it was like climbing a mountain upon a very tight road and badly need somebody who could drive smoothly and professionally. When the rain getting harder, we stopped in front of a biker, and I was definitely shocked in what he tried to explain. The mentioned village, ANCAEN, in fact, STILL 30km ahead and more climbs than expected.

I decided to stop and returned. Alhamdulillah, on the way home, still in Sukabumi area, we met 2 gemstones small shops which I'd like to share with all of you. They are :

SUNDA STONES
Jl. Raya Gentong Lenggensari Km 5.8
Sukaraja - Sukabumi
Phones: (0266) 260756
Uce Dudi Hidayat - Mobile (0815) 6317-2376

MUSTIKA ALAM
Jl. Raya Gentong Langgensari Km 5.8
Sukaraja - Sukabumi
Phone: (0266) 261195
Asep Suhendra - Mobile (0815) 6070-765

Both shops are nearby in fact. Hence, above all, I felt happy that I had a chance visited them covering the before-failed journey.

Well, hopefully someday, I'll have a chance to try again.......
