cerise

I was at Isetan, and I saw lots of strawberries for sale! I love strawberries! And they had blackberries and blueberries for sale too. It brings me back to those days when I worked in a chocolate shop dipping all these berries! Aah, I remembered how I used to have cherry liquor dark chocolates to keep myself toasty in winter days too *^__^*

How does one actually create cherry earrings without massive wirework anyway? I somehow managed to find inspiration in my minute collection of Czech glass beads...

"do we look yummy?"

Materials: Czech glass beads

Most unfortunately, I got these beads when I was in England and am unable to find any local beading suppliers that import these lovely heart-shape leaf beads in this pretty shade of green :( So yes, one-of-a-kind!

Dazing by the beach

Ah, summer! Yacht, blue skies, the sea...

materials: dyed shell flower, Swarovski crystals, Japanese faux pearls

...Pearls and shell :) this is a nifty collection of clip-on pearl brooches that I will be releasing once in a while. The brooches are attached with lobster clasps on either end, and have myriads of uses, among them:

• Clip-on brooch (on clothes)
• Bag accessory
• Hair accessory (with a U pin)

And whatever your imagination lets you do! The pearls and crystal adds an elegant touch of colour, while the shell daisy teases sweetly.

Ps.: Feel free to enquire for any other available colours!

the Horn (of Plenty?)

One fine day, I started beading a horn... It turned out huge! Initially, it was made in hopes to turn it into a keychain but seeing how bulky it became I doubt anyone will be interested in it. So here's the horn just for show!

Materials: Seed Beads, Bugle beads, Bali Bead.

Size: 6.5 cm (l) x 3.5 (w)

On second thought.. I might just turn it into a keychain for my own use :3 There isn't much of a length difference compared to the guitar~ Still, do mail us if any of you are interested, so I can give you the price...

lady fairy

Hello there fairy queen! Tiers of a large bell-shaped skirt, and an intricate halo of flowers crowning her regal crystal head.

materials: acrylic beads, bali beads, Swarovski crystals, Matsuno beads

~RM26~

Clip-on earrings are available now too! ^^ lady fairy is only available in pink for now.

alto

Hi everyone~ This is Beverly, and it's my first post here! Due to my terrible lack of creativity, I have proceeded to name this piece.. Alto. It can be used as a handphone strap or a keychain, whichever you prefer. Different colours are available upon request!

Materials: Matsuno seed beads, wire
Length: Guitar 6.2cm (11.5cm including strap)

~Price: RM25~

PS: This is not named due to my Macross Frontier addiction (in denial) but an Alto guitar does exist!

LunaP earrings ~interlude~

Rawr~ We're made of clay and we're here to stay!

summer daisies

The month of July... is the best time to go to the beach! So part of the 2009 summer collection includes an array of summer-themed accessories. Teamed with the theme of "Simplicity", KiRA brings you a simple pair of dyed shell daisies!

Just a simple pair of earrings to match that sun dress~

Materials: dyed shell flowers

~RM8~

Available colours: Milk brown, pearl black, orange, and rose red

**Only one pair of each colour is available.**

Please note: because these are carved and cut from real shells, the shells will have uneven cracked surfaces as well as varying thickness. Don't worry though, it doesn't make these any more fragile than our other works! We assure you that these pretty shells are actually quite sturdy, and the natural formations look lovely :)

puffy whites ~interlude~

Remember the very long hiatus about the very long project that I was working on? It's finally done! This lariat took me 3 weeks to complete, and it induces a lot of strain to my eyes. It is, incidentally, my first real beading project as well!

I used Swarovski crystals, Matsuno glass beads, and Japanese faux pearls... the effect is quite an astounding one. I wonder where I will wear it to?

This lariat's slightly less than 1 metre long. Ah~ I will never forget the time it took to just make one of those puffy white flowers! *tears*

heart it!

I once saw some people use pearl-beaded 2 dimension hearts in their works, and I have been so very very entranced by it! However it doesn't look like they made it themselves and their pearls seem to hang and support each other (super glue!?). I couldn't seem to find it for sale as a charm, so maybe that isn't the case as well. Whatever it was, I was determined to have it for myself!

Finally, after lots of failed experiments I have managed to create my own version of 2d pearl-beaded hearts~! They are 100% KiRA handmade, and I absolutely heart them! :) You'll definitely be seeing more of them in my other works.

Materials: high quality Japanese faux pearls, Matsuno seed beads, Swarovski crystal

~RM10 for one strap~

Available in white, cream, and pink pearls.

butterfly trails ~in the midnight~

This ruby night ensemble was made by the request of a friend. I hope you like it!
