I`m thrilled at the box of goodies I received from Nina Designs last week . When I opened the box and saw the contents inside , I gasped in pleasure . The most beautifully finished metal charms , silk ribbons , clasp and ear wires lay inside ( things that I had only seen on the net ! ) . My mind is whirling with ideas , I can`t wait to use them in my creations . The variety of jewellery that can be made with these components is so much that I can`t wait to try out all that my mind has imagined and make different jewellery pieces.
Here`s what the box of goodies contained .
Samudra - (meaning The Ocean)
The Turquoise Blues Silk ribbon from Nina Designs reminded me of the deep blue ocean and so I have tried to depict the deep sea bed with scattered corals , shells , seaweeds and even a flower made from shell !
Collection of materials used include Silk ribbon from Nina designs , and , hemp cord , brass ring , mother-of pearl sequins, handmade Indian glass beads, stitched shell flowers from my own stash .
I stitched the shells to make a flower and attached shisha (glass mirror ) in the center . Cutting the hemp cord I mounted it on the brass ring a left over from my old discarded handbag using macrame technique . Stringing the beads , the ends have been secured using a simple knot .
Looking forward to hearing from you ,

Stitching the flowers in place I added the silk ribbon to complete my necklace Samudra
Do`nt you think the Silk ribbon is perfect to go with the theme ? and does`nt it remind you too , of a beautiful garden deep inside the Ocean ?
