Another Pearl for Stockholm...

This is an extremely quick post of the latest Stockholm Pearl Sami Bracelets made... can't really decide which colour I prefer! I guess it all depends on the mood, time of day / night and season... maybe it is best to have enough to cover all hi hi :


Here are tan, purple, dark brown, red, plum (suede) and olive...

What's the time Mr.Wolf?

I have to say that I dread the day books are a thing of the past. I hope it never happens and so far I still know quite a few who cannot bare the thought of reading a book via the ipad instead of it in their hands. Nothing can replace the feeling of reading a paper book, the smell and the relaxation.
Similar thing with the good old watch. How many rely on their phone to know the time? But when the phone is down and needs to be recharged, then what?
So I have got 2 watches made with reindeer leather and Sami ornamentation in pewter / silver threads. The red watch even has sterling silver pearls inter weaved.
The clock faces are stainless steel, but can be ordered with sterling silver instead, although there will be an increase in price of course.


All the little trimmings like the lock, the loops etc are all sterling silver. The loops enable the watch to fit a broader range of wrist width.
Both clock faces are rectangular and similar in size, although the face that the red band has is slightly thinner and more curved. It has a more vintage look than the other one.

So if you see a bracelet style you like remember that you can have that as a watch band too, and in a variety of colours.

West Coast Pearl

While Stockholm and the East Coast may be the heart of mine, West Coast of Sweden is deep in my husband's heart as that is where he grew up and feels at home.
So it is to him, my loving husband, this design is dedicated to and I have called it ¨West Coast¨!
The silver pearls are 2.5 mm in diameter but of course can be made with larger size silver pearls (as well as coloured Swarovski pearls too).

It is a quite delicate and a balanced / harmonious design. I feel that this design would also look great as a necklace... hmm maybe that is my next project after I have finished my watches (stay tuned for photos on those later this week).

Have a great evening, now off to some more Olympics :)

Aurora... Have you seen the Northern Lights?

I'm starting this post looking at a picture of The Aurora Borealis taken by 50 Degrees North. 

What beauty!!!! One day I would love to make such a journey! 50 Degrees North offers so many different ones that if I had the money (& the time!) I'm not sure which I'd choose. Have a look and be inspired!

Now back to my Aurora ;)
These reindeer with silver / pewter threads come in a variety of beautiful colours just like the real Aurora, although mine aren't the results of electrons and magnetic fields.


 Dark blue (somewhat darker in real life)
 Plum suede... the leather chord is darker than on the picture.
 Pink, but I'm sure you all can see that :)
 Purple
 Black
Turquoise

A Double Loop...

Today this post feels very spot on in my day so far. With too little sleep (thank you Hugo) I feel quite 'loopy' myself and I find myself going round in circles whilst trying to get things done. Those with or have had small children most likely understand what I am on about.
So here comes a new creation of a double loop 3 wave reindeer leather bracelet. In this picture you can also see the 'shed' (I emphasise shed as no animal has been shot for this button) antler button.
This red is like a wild strawberry red (smultron in Swedish) but I do have a darker red as well as this one.

Have a great day today... sun is shining here, so I am about to head out, hoping that I wont 'walk' around in circles as well..he he

A Dedication to Men...

Even though I previously wrote that most designs are unisex I would like to share with you two of my husbands bracelets that he chose to wear. Mind you that the black ¨Aurora¨ design I have sold to women too, but in other colours.




And this was my son's choice to have...


Aaaaand how can one go past this gorgeous 4 year old boy...
