new template new life new stuff

ok picture first.

its a kingfisher turquoise bead necklace in my etsy shop. im trying it out. i have another one but its not listed yet.
i discovered this new thing with beads and jump rings. well its probably been done and done better by someone else but you know what i mean. its really nice! its actually really nice. i dont know if it translates in the pics. i guess you might have t be ok with a kingfisher bird. or you can wear it with the the backside of the bead (i chose the nice side for the back side,its got a really nice natural pattern which you cant see)

what a crazy couple of days its been.
my site was totally used by some freaks adding malicious content. its all fixed now though. like, really fixed! yikes. scary. poor lias site (webdesigner) had been totally deleted by the hackers. really keeps you on guard. im so relieved lia was able to fix it so quickly! edit: oops the stuff was still on there but my lovely cousin jerome was able to get it all off my site. YAY thanks jerome :D :D :D

you might have (or not) noticed that ive changed my blog template. will slowly readd the links i had on there. now its back to its original linkage from years ago.
there are even little icons that disappeared with all the edits through the years. there are probably a lot of dead links and old abandoned blogs.

ive been thinking of my stuff and how i need to change it up or just figure out if im really going to do this forever. if not, i better get cracking on what i will be doing forever. im turning 31 in may. like, seriously that is majorly old and responsible time.
the studio is looking super amazing. alvaro and i (mostly him) fixed the whole place and now its getting cozier. i dont know if we will move anytime soon. i really want to get in a nicer place but i also dont want to deal with moving again!
ive listed a couple of insane destash jewelry making supply lots on etsy. click on pics to go to listings.

this one is chain:


local pick up would be perfect for these ehem

what about these mixed lots?
i used to sell mixed lots of de-stash supplies on my blog before. a while ago.. those ones were jam packed with stuff.. i was getting lots of free stuff and buying lots of stuff then. that was fun... and there is still lots of that stock around.
some of which are in these mixed lots! you can try and make your own version of its your life stuff hehe...
click on pics to go to listings :D


this lot features retro chic pink and gold metal and enamel shank buttons, a super long brass ball chain necklace with a huge gold plated round snake type design pin as a pendant, two vintage enameled yellow bow pins and vintage aged brass novia pins (both have loops/a hole on the bottom for attaching another charm) and some other cool stuff... all for $8 ! right? :D

this is a huge mixed lot. huge, lots, loads of charms, pendants, theres a rose intaglio, vintage moveable lie detector charms, cameos, beads, nice :D


omg! ok so alvaros gonna go and start up his own jewelry line right. he sourced forever to find the coolest stuff. he goes and opens up his music website and links his newly opened etsy shop. he does a quick search and finds someone selling the exact same charm pendants he is going to sell. only thing is they are selling it for an AMAZINGLY high profit, and one of their 'handmade' items even made it to the front page!! omg!! hahaha alvaro is kind of annoyed!!! i mean they are selling stuff for about 100$ when alvaro was worried no one would buy it at 25$ !!! haha oh man and now he is all fussy about how they can misrepresent items as 'handmade' when they just bought the pendants from the same place he is getting them from. would you sell something for $25 when you know you can sell it for $100 ????
check out alvaros etsy shop! hes listed a robot necklace for $30

not going to spain- not getting my visa on time due to terrible blunder. maybe that and the 'end of the year', my own online shop, my unorganized work areas, and having to go back to manila in a couple months...
so effin overwhelmingly tiring when i think of it all at the same time. i need to keep organizing its the only way my brain goes into production mode. which leads to those other other things.
i made these supply lots, 4 of em and now i dont know what to do with the pics. ill put em on here after resizing and if anyone wants em before i can figure out where to put em leave a comment or send me an email they are from 25-35$ each and come with a surprize necklace. ships in canada is 2$, u.s. 3, intnl 4.
