Okie dokie, so... I'll start this thread with my two submissions for the craft challenge, which I've already lost 'cause I'm SOOOO slow.

I have two projects.

The first is an origami snitch. I actually made one out of yellow paper, but this picture just turned out much better. The design is the typical box or 'water bomb' that you blow into in order to puff it up, with some additonal steps at the very end when you'd normally tuck the ends in.

SPOILER!!: Paper Snitchy


I also made a Quidditch-themed bracelet using carnelian, black Czech glass, and gold-plated Bali beads, as well as a pretty little winged thing that looks just like a Snitch to me. The numbers are actually right so that there are 2 black 'Bludger' beads for every one red 'Quaffle' and gold 'Snitch' beads. I'm also making a keychain from these beads to give to my HP fanatic sister.

The quality of the pictures is terrible because I took them on the fly with my cell phone, but I'll try to get better shots with my digi later. The first shows the shape of the bracelet, and the second photo shows the actual beads (if a bit blurry).

SPOILER!!: The Quidditch Bracelet

Awww the paper snitch is so adorable, Ern. It looks MADE for chucking across the room at someone's head, heh heh heh. Your lines are so neat! Origami is hard =(

And the bracelet is lovely, I love the little snitch wings right there... it does look like a Quidditch game, with the snitch hiding among all the other stones.





Fascinating.

Wow, both of these items are a real work of art! The snitch bracelet is truly one of a kind, beautiful really, I've never seen anything like it and I just love it. Very, very nice work! Are these your original designs?

I didn't design the origami snitch, although I've had fun making loads of them since I found the pattern. I DID design the bracelet, though. My mother just bought the big carnelian beads off eBay, and they screamed Quaffle to me. I guess that's one of those "you know you have an addiction when..." hints?

The wings actually were the hardest part to find, and it was just something that we remembered seeing in the bead shop. They're actually intended as dragonfly wings or something like that.

omg! The origami is VERY COOL! And the bracelet is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the new pic of it!

The wings charm look like something I've seen used to make bead angels too. Very cute!

You know, Jan, that's exactly what those wings are. Hehe. I just bought a load more for cheap on eBay, so I"m going to see what else I can use them for.

Here's the "good" shot of my Quidditch bracelet. Not blurry, and a better idea of the colors. I'm actually working on another Quidditch bracelet concept, but I still like this one so much.

SPOILER!!: Quidditch bracelet




I've also started some bracelets named after characters. This is a Gryffindor inspired bracelet (ironic because I'm a 'Claw) that I call "Godric." It's made of tigereye, gold, and garnet Swarovski crystal bicones.

SPOILER!!: Godric






And this one might be called "Cho" but I'm not sure yet.

SPOILER!!: Cho

Erin - All of your bracelets are amazing, I can't wait to see more! I have to agree with Touz, that Cho bracelet is beautiful beyond words. You truly have a talent with jewelry design.

I found these great beads that just screamed "Tonks" to me. Paired with liquid silver beads and multi-sized balls that create a chain effect (for the punk-rock princess of the wizarding world), I really love wearing this bracelet!

SPOILER!!: Tonks




I also made a necklace to match the Godric bracelet. Unfortunately, the person who asked me to make it for her changed her mind, but that just means I get to show all of you!

SPOILER!!: More Godric




As you can see, we're getting better at taking pictures.

The new camera is in the mail! Yay! I'm really excited to see what I can come up with.

In other news, I made a new bracelet. It was originally going to be called "Fleur" but now I've decided to call it "Goblin Made." Reminiscent of the tiara Fleur wore at her wedding, the bracelet has freshwater pearl and Swarovski crystal dangles from a silver-plated chain. It's really fun to wear!

SPOILER!!: Goblin Made




My mother and I have opened an account on etsy, so please feel free to come by and see our HP related jewelry at Callista Designs.

I want to post this one over here too .

Well... I waited to the last minute, but YAY for me.

Because I'd already created a Quidditch themed bracelet, I went a totally different route with this one. I did an homage to the Quaffle, and Kris and I named this one "I Dream of Technicolor Quaffles". Heehee. I made it using a base metal wire and multicolored 8 mm rounds. I also made the clasp... rather proud of my first clasp effort.

SPOILER!!: I Dream of Quaffles

My favourite is the Tonks oneeeeeee and I won't comment on the rest because I told you on MSN like I tend to do. But I just wanted to make my print in the Ern-thread! Teehee.

Hehe, thanks, Laurie!

I'm reposting my submission from the DE challenge, the Narcissa:

SPOILER!!: Narcissa


The next one is the Gilderoy. When I was designing this bracelet, all I wrote down to start was "Teeth. Magic." I found the navy goldstone (with pretty sparklies) in it first, and the snowy quartz came next. It's a little chunkier than I wear, but I like the effect.

SPOILER!!: Gilderoy

Wow, Erin, I like them both! I think I lean a little more toward the Narcissa personally, mainly because it has green in it. I can imagine this on her arm, I think she would be proud to wear this piece of jewelry when seen out on the town with Lucius.

Can't wait to see the "Bella", heehee!
