I was going through my jewellery today and as I was trying to find the pair of earrings I wanted to wear I came across this lovely pink flowers that my sister had made for herself. Well her biggest mistake was that she chose to make them in my favourite colour. Needless to say that when I saw them I confiscated them. Till now I am not sure if she happily gave them away, as I love 'forgetting' her jewellery in my suitcases so me having them was not really her choice, or if the compliments she gets when I wear them compensate for the loss of her creations.
Generally felt is a very hip material but I wouln't wear it with more posh and evening outfits. I mostly combine it with summer dresses or jeans and tshirts. I think my sister's most impressive felt creation is the 'bear couple' pair of earrings. Despite their simplicity these little bears are very sweet and so romantic that they keep stealing people's hearts! My sister has managed to keep them not cause I don't like them enough but because they don't match my style.
Felt is a very common material in jewellery making nowadays and you can find them in most stores. Like feathered earrings few are worth checking out. I think my favourite felt creations, apart from my sisters, are Michele Friedman's jewellery. I love the designs and the way she is using felt to give colour to the metals. I haven't purchased any of her creations yet only because I haven't decided which one to get.
An example of the most common use of felt is the one below by LauMara. Simple, colourful and geometric designs that for don't really have to say anything new.
I know that my sister's jewellery are not as sophisticated as Michele Friedman's but not only they are more impressive than the common ones what I really love about them is how her imagination gives life to the jewellery and provides a story for every design.
If you want more information about her designs or maybe order a piece or two you are more than welcomed to email me at kurkubinii@gmail.com
