Giveaway Winner & Life Updates! (with new handmades thrown in)

How was everyone's Christmas? What goodies did you give and receive?

I had an amazing time with my and the bf's family. We had dinner on Christmas Eve all under one roof, and it was AWWWWWWWWWWWEsome. We had tons of good food and laughs together... all in all, it has made me wish that we had more downtime in the year. We need more Holidays!!!

I have also moved again! The bf and I rented a house along with our ex college roomies, and since we are all working in the same area, we decided that it'd be nice to pool our resources and finally get a nice home to stay in. I will post house photos later-- we also have 3 kitties now which are loving the extra play room. And finally, I have an amazing kitchen to work in. I will be creating more delectable goodies for devouring.. I am excited. Once we all settle in, all will be well :)

These last two weeks have been tiring for me-- aside from moving, I have been clocking long hours at work. However, that hectic period is behind me (I think...) so I will be able to dedicate more time to blogging....

First off, please allow me to catch up on what I was supposed to announce earlier this month; the winner of the 2011 Holiday Giveaway..
... Congrats to LILLY!
Please email me your full name and address! heqicrystaldesigns@hotmail.com -- Thank you!

I made some Brass/Copper earrings today:


The leaves and flowers are painted with nail polish-- the colors are VERY subtle, but provides something very unique :)


They also come with NIOBIUM hooks-- niobium is many times more expensive than gold/silver. It is an inert metal that is hypoallergenic-- safe for even the most sensitive (mine included!). I made the decision to include niobium in collection to broaden the color range I can work with (brass!!!)

Also made some baroque clusters:


As I have a real job now, I can splurge more on gemstone earrings... so I am in the middle of purchasing a bunch of gemstones. These Rose Quartz are beautiful, and very, very clear with lots of facets for more shine:


The following two earrings contain beads purchased (by me!) from the Forbidden City in Beijing, China when I visited a few years back.



I finally decided that it was time to part with them now :)


I have a 3-day work week this week, whoohoo!
Then, a 4 day weekend, WHOOHOO!

More time to spend with loved ones, to cook to eat, to work out, to sleep.

What are your plans for the New Year? I'd love to hear about them!

Clovers, Wild Hearts + More, Oh My!

The second these new SWAROVSKI elements came out, I jumped on them!

Introducing the Everyday Classic, Wild Hearts.

These are an upgrade from the regular Everyday Classic heart-- a big upgrade! The wild hearts are 3-4 times the price of regular 10mm hearts.
These wild hearts are slightly larger, and have tons more facets than the original hearts. Now, if only they'll come out with more colors... need patience... 

They come with sterling silver bails (unseen on the regular heart earrings), making them slightly longer. 

And I brought the Baroque shape back because there were lots of requests for it:

And a clover bracelet! Featuring the NEW clover bead =)

And the cutest mother of pearl cat beads .... made into earrings with other very cute components:

Also made another OOAK pair of earrings:

Enjoy! I'm off to finish a challenging hw assignment that's due tmrw, and I'll be announcing the giveaway winner tmrw as well, stay tuned!

Remember, keep dropping by the blog-- leaving a comment will make you eligible to win April's gifts!

Also, Spring Quarter has started for me, and I'm taking 4 BME classes, so the workload is a bit heavy. I'm going to try to keep blogging to once a week.

I've also signed up for classes at the ARC! It's $45 for a whole quarter-- that's a tiny price to pay for getting back in shape. It was "Try Before You Buy" week, and I got to try a bunch of classes-- strength training, cardio and yoga. It's a well rounded program, and the price is for unlimited classes-- yay! Anyone in Davis interested in working out with me? =)

Anyway, some new work =)

Deluxe Beauty Sampler w/ Purchase this weekend only, and LOTS of NEW items!

Hi Ladies!
Hope your weekend is going well so far. I've been busy working on new pieces to post before tomorrow, which is dedicated to studying =).

The cutoff order date for CHRISTMAS is December 10, 2009.

This is because I'm going to away from Dec. 13-20.
So please, be sure to get your orders in by then!

I wanted to show you what I'm giving away with every purchase that's made for and paid for sometime this weekend (Nov. 14-Nov. 15, 2009).
You know how I've been working with beauty crafters to bring samples to you guys? Well, here's a DELUXE Beauty Sampler pack that I'll be giving away with EVERY SINGLE purchase! It's worth $8-$10! Filled with handmade mineral makeup, soaps, whipped soaps, and handmade caramel-filled chocolate by ME! :D

Now, I usually give away 1-2 of these with every purchase, but you guys get EVERYTHING!
To qualify for one, just put code "LUXBEAUTY" in the comments section when you place your order! I may even toss in some NYX eyeshadows with some purchases! ;)

Now, on to the NEW items!
I've been working like nuts today. I was trying to perfect my bird's nest ring:

It looks amazing, if I may say so myself. I did make a couple changes to the BAND part of the ring, though. I wasn't liking the previous, just wire wrapped around the band look.
So I wrapped the band like this:

Yea, it takes about an extra half hour this way, but I think it makes it look much more professional and polished. I had to raise the price because it seriously takes more than an hour to make. And these are custom sized-- and size available at NO extra cost! I'm keeping this particular for myself since I want yours to be PERFECT.

A swarovski snowflake necklace!


And a triple stars necklace! This is actually really, super duper cute.


And there are a bunch of NEW EARRINGS on my website. There's quite a few, so I'll just post my favorite:


Enjoy!
