Welcome To ZaniL Jewels from the Sea Blog Post
Thanks for visiting and coming back. This will most likely be my last blog post for 2011.
I will take this opportunity to say thank you to all of my great friends and customers who have helped me so far on this wonderful and amazing journey into my creative side. I do not know where or how I get my creative energy, but I think all the positive energy that you give me certainly helps and I thank you all so very much. I feel free as a bird and feel so fortunate that I am able to express myself in this way and hopefully inspire others to be creative as well.
I have a new design with a Story to share.
I just love this new design and even more so as I have a little story of how it came about.
We recently went on our yearly family holiday
down coast and I was walking along the beach
with my girls. I said to them "look at all the lovely smooth stones on the sand, wouldn't it be nice if we could glue a pearl in the middle?" . I kept thinking glueing a pearl would not be the ideal way to make it and thought I would have to work out a way to make it look elegant as well.
We picked some lovely shaped stones , just right for the future pendants and took them to our coastal cabin. We examined them and talked abut them some more. I was so excited about our new idea. Well, I was so tired form the long drive and in general with nothing to do but relax, I decided to have a little nap.
While I was sleeping , I had a dream that a pendant was being made while I watched it being created in my " minds eye" with the pearl being centred and all these wires wrapping the stone
in a flash. I awoke and I vividly remebered everything.
I began work straight away as I always take my tools and bits and pieces away with me incase I get some inspiration, so I was lucky to have all the items I needed to make my first pendant.
As I made more pendants, I changed the design to make it better , the pendant above is the fourth attempt. I am so glad I had that dream. We called these pendants "Eye of the Sea" and these are unique as there can be no two stones that are the same.

ZaniL Design - 1920's Glass Button Inspirations
Welcome To My Elegant Stylish Jewellery Blog.
I have discovered a new wire wiven technique to take the ZaniL Design brand to the next level. I have also found some gorgeous and exquisite 1920 glass buttons. My mind is going crazy with ideas and I just can't wait for the designs to be made. I never draw any of my designs and I feel I have already created in my mind and I just need to find the time to sit and make it ( this is not so easy with a million things to do).
I think the hand woven wire cords ( which take hours) really compliment these buttons.
I am so grateful to a customer Phylis who introduced me to
supplier of these buttons. I am learning not to go beserk and
not to buy to many buttons. As these buttons are from the 1920's these designs will not be able to be recreated once sold out. I like that about my designs.
This is simply equisite. I am not sure I will be able to part with it, but I will have to as I do not have enough necks to wear all my pieces.
This button is one of four I hav sourced andf it is gold and peacock and looks better that in the photo. Cord is made with purple non-tarnish artistic wire.
Price: Please enquire if Genuinely interested.
