Bunny business

Svako ko ima ušatog krznatog ljubimca poznaje ovu "leave me alone" pozu.
Ovo je brošić je inspirisan mojom Pupu, koja mi nikad ne dozvoljava da je slikam u ovoj pozi kad se duri :)
-----------------------------------------------
Everyone who has a bunny knows this "leave me alone" pose very well.
I made this little broochinspired by my bunny, Pupu, who never lets me take pictures of her in this pose :)

DIY NY cityline necklace

Pribor / Supplies :
-50ak cm žice / around 50 cm (20 inches) of wire
-klješta / pliers
-lančić / necklace chain
-2 alkice i 1 kopča / 2 little rings and 1 clasp
Žica koju sam ja koristila je debljine 0.8 mm, bez nikla. Iako je dosta čvrsta, mislim da je bolje koristiti malo deblju žicu, od 1 mm ili 1.2 mm, može i aluminijumska. Takva se za nijansu teže savija, ali je otpornija.
Žice možete naći na kotur i na meru u bilo kojoj radnji sa delovima za nakit, pozamanteriji, a skoro sam videla da ih sada ima i u kineskim tržnim centrima.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I used nickel-free 0.8mm jewelry wire. Aldo it's firm, I would reccomend you to use thicker one, 1mm or 1.2 mm. It is a  little bit harder to bend, but it is much firmer. You can buy wire online or in any supplies shop.

Prvo morate da napravite crtež po kome ćete da radite. Ne mora biti nešto posebno lep ili precizan, treba vam samo kao vodič. Nakon toga uz pomoć klješta pažljivo savijate žicu prateći crtež.
-----------------------------------------------------------
First you need to make drawing as a guideline when you bend the wire. It doesn't have to be very pretty or precise. Then you start bending wire carefully.


Ja sam koristila dva para klješta kako bi mi bilo lakše da radim, mada su i jedna sasvim dovoljna. Koristila sam špicasta klješta sa okruglim vrhom, koja su zgodnija za zaobljavanje žice i pravljenje kukica na kraju, i jedna špicasta sa ravnim vrhom, koja su zgodna za savijanje žice pod pravim uglom. Za savijanje je potrebno oko 20 minuta.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I used two kinds of pliers - one with round nose (which are good for making rounded shapes and nooses) and one with flat nose (which are good for making all sorts of angles with wire). It is easier this way, but you can use just flat ones without bigger problems, you just need some extra work on round parts. It took me about 20 minutes to finish bending.
Pošto ste napravili željeni oblik, na krajevima napravite okca koja ćete provući kroz alkicu lančića željene dužine. Višak žice moćete iseći i makazama bez problema, ukoliko nemate sečice.
----------------------------------------------------------
After you finished bending, use cutter pliers od scissors to cut of extra wire and then make loops using round nose pliers. Mesure necklace chain, and pull loop through chain and close loop.

Nakon toga, napravite prekid na sredini lančića i zakačite alkicu i kopču.
--------------------------------------------------------
After that, cut the necklace chain into two equal parts and add ring and clasp.

The end. Hope you like it!

this + that: stuff, lately.

Pronalazak iz kineske prodavnice. Košta 20 dinara, ima oko 5 metara i preslatko je. U nedostatku "washi" trake, koja se u Nišu ne može naći nigde, dolično služi za dekoraciju.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sticky tape I found in chinese store. It is really cheap and looks really good. I use it for decoration instead of washi tape, which is rarely find in my hometown :/

Work in progress.
Najnoviji primerak iz kolekcije minerala - ahat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Newest member of my minerals collection - agate.
Dva nova stanovnika moje sobe. Do skoro sam imala samo jedan kaktus koji se iz misterioznog razloga potpuno osušio.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Two new cactus. Until recently I had one, but after almost three years , he misteriously died while I was absent.
Divni novi prsten iz Venecije <3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My newest ring from Venice. I absolutely adore it <3
Neke zanimljive sitnice koje sam dovukla iz Slovenije. Flaster sa macama mi je genijalan :)  U Ljubljani sam otkrila "Rayher" robnu kuću sa nezamislivo velikim asortimanom svih mogućih materijala i alata za svaki mogući kreativni hobi. Bila sam u toliko rastrzana da sam kupila samo nekoliko stvarčica. Sramota. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some fun stuff i brought from Slovenia. I love this cats printed band-aid! In Ljubljana i discovered huuuuge "Rayher" store with all sort of materials and tools for all kinds of creative hobbies. I was so overwhelmed and confused by all those stuff that I bought just few stuff. And I am ashamed.
 


Nakit kupljen na buvljaku za ukupno 250 dinara. Brošem od slikane svile sam apsolutno oduševljena. Broš sa kamejom planiram da malo prepravim, kao i ogrlicu, a privezak - ram ću da iskoristim za neku od kameja koje sam napravila. Buba od tirkiza me oduševila, upravo pravim narukvicu sa njom:)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought this bunch of jewelry at local flea market for just 3$. Brooch with painted silk is one of my favourite finds ever. Other brooch and pendant are also very pretty, but I have some plans to "pimp" them. I have some really pretty cameos I made and I will try to fit them in that empty frame, I think it will look very pretty.
This bug made of turquoise is just beautiful, I am making bracelet for me right now :)

Čim sam došla iz Slovenije upala sam u gomilu obaveza oko fakulteta i projekta zbog kog sam bila tamo, ali sad sam se organizovala, pa ću postovati malo redovnije :)
U pripremi je nekoliko DIY postova, neki lepi novi nakit...videćete uskoro:)
