I have LOTS of secondhand swarovskis to make use of right now so I’m trying some new ornate designs. Might try to make a few of these in diff colors? #beading #chainmaille #jewelry

this looks so good

the thing I like about making jewelry is sometimes it’s like the inside of my heart put into the world. And sometimes it’s beads on a. String

A grey felted board with compartments holding various glass beads, pearls, and findings for making jewelry. It is cluttered a messy. The board has channels for designing necklaces, and one channel has a selection of silver and shiny beads along it, ready to be strung. A white hand holds a selection of silver-toned beads in the left corner.

A finished necklace featuring the same beads as the bead board image, but strung. Heart-shaped, flower-shaped, and round glass beads are accompanied by silvery pearls and small prismatic crystals.

the bead board vs the necklace 🩶 I imagine this is perfect for a 90s heartthrob type… #freshwaterpearls #angelcore #fairycore

just deleted my IG! 💆🏻 at peace…!!!!!! and thanks for my friends who have followed me here or joined my email list 💙

Hi :) I’m Aki - I make clothes! Particularly interested in workwear, but I do step outside of it occasionally. Almost everything in my shop is fabric I dye - the rest being upcycled and vintage fabrics - all sewn by me in my little home studio in Chicago. You can see my works here: www.kakitake.com

An outstretched white hand holds up a translucent, minimalistic necklace with small star-shaped, spherical, and prismatic clear beads interspersed with tiny seed beads. In the background, out of focus, is a wall cluttered with colorful framed art.

the piece in question… perfect for an angel… it’s like a little sweet icicle

I have a piece I love that hasn’t sold and I’m like “wow it’s so weird no one wants this” … I never listed it lol
