Taking a Break ~*~ En pause

2010-01-22T19:20:00.003-05:00

Hello!

I obviously haven't been posting to my blog very much, as of late. The truth is that I don't think I've gotten the hang of blogging yet. As such, I'll be taking a break form worrying about it and will let this blog just be for the near future.

Bonjour!

Ça fait très longtemps que je n'ai pas mis mon blog à jour... La vérité est que je n'arrive pas vraiment à en prendre l'habitude. Ainsi, j'ai décidé de ne pas m'en faire pour l'instant et de laisser ce blog de côté pour quelques temps.

See you soon! ~*~ À bientôt!

2009-04-14T12:21:00.004-04:00

Please note that I'll be away from my computer, shop and blog from April 14th to the 30th.

Veuillez noter que je serai absente du 14 au 30 avril.

Miel Designs is now offering Canadian currency at par to all Canadian buyers.

As many of you know, Etsy operates exclusively on an $US basis.
A few months ago, that was fabulous for we Canadians! But now, not so much.

So until Janurary 31, 2009, $CND =$US at Miel Design s!

Before finalizing your payment with Paypal,
please convo me to let me know you'd like to pay at par.
I'll then send you a revised Paypal Canadian currency invoice.

Pour les Fêtes...

2008-11-29T16:51:00.009-05:00

Cette année, Miel Designs vous offre tous ses bijoux en devise canadienne!

Comme Etsy fonctionne uniquement avec la devise américaine pour l'instant,
les prix chez Miel Designs sont habituellement de même.

Mais pour un temps limité, et ce jusqu'au 31 janvier 2009,
$CAN = $US!

C'est donc dire qu'un item marqué 25,00$ US chez Miel Designs vous sera offert à 25,00$ CAN.

Vous n'avez qu'à effectuer vos achats comme d'habitude, mais attendre une fois arrivé à l'écran de paiement. (Là où il faut cliquer "Paypal".)
Je vous enverrai par la suite une facture révisée en dollars canadiens.

-:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-
De plus, mentionnez ce blog ou Facebook
dans la section commentaires de l'écran de paiement
et je paie pour vous les frais d'envoi!

Crochet Zen

2008-11-26T18:17:00.011-05:00

Well, it certainly has been a long time since my last update, hasn't it!

A few new things since then: I've added new items to my shop and I've taken up crochet!

Yes! My grandmother would be proud! She had originally taught me to knit, when I was little, but I never really stuck to it. More recently, I found out that to knit properly, I'd at least have to learn how to purl. That didn't work out so well. I just couldn't get the hang of it. So, still wanting to play with yarn, I decided to try something else. Crochet! If I couldn't make knots into fabric with two sticks, I might be able to do it with one! And I was right! Or rather, I took the time to learn properly. With a kid's kit. The best way to learn! Klutz's Learn to Crochet in Six Great Projects really did the trick for me. The instructions and illustrations are very, very clear. With a bit of practice, I just couldn't go wrong. Yay!

I'm now making everyone crocheted gifts for Christmas! Finding affordable, quality, natural fiber yarns has also been an education in itself. Luckily, I have the good people at Ravelry to thank. Their user yarn ratings, among other features, are very useful.

So far, I'm pretty happy with my work. Really, I think I may have a knack for this. And I'm finding the whole thing immensely enjoyable and zen.

On the jewellery front, I've slowly been adding new pieces to the shop:

Moreover, and this is the main reason for this post I admit, I've decided to offer Canadian currency at par to all Canadian buyers. As many of you know, Etsy operates exclusively on an $US basis. A few months ago, that was fabulous for us Canadians! But now, not so much. So until January 31, 2009, $CND = $US at Miel Designs. Good, eh?

I still have a few more items to add and am always happy to take up a custom project. Send me a note and we'll talk!

Arrr! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

2008-09-15T08:17:00.006-04:00

*Except for those items already in the Clearance section. But that be reduced a good 50% already...

Prisms & Pendalogues ~*~ Prismes et pendeloques

2008-01-03T20:01:00.000-05:00

Just before the holidays, I completed a very special project. A friend of mine asked me to prepare the multiple strands of crystal drops, prisms and pendalogues needed to decorate a handcrafted chandelier. The fixture was machined by her brother, and once installed, my friend and I met to hang the crystal strands upon the chandelier. I have to say I was very happy with the finished product. See for yourself!

~*~

En décembre, j'ai eu l'occasion de compléter un projet très spécial. Une amie m'avait demandé de préparer une multitude de rangs de cristaux, prismes et pendeloques qui serviraient à décorer un nouveau lustre de fabrication artisanale. Son frère en ayant usiné l'installation, et une fois cette dernière bien installée, mon amie et moi nous sommes rencontrées afin de pendre tous ces rangs de cristaux sur le lustre. Je dois dire que je suis bien satisfaite du résultat! Voyez par vous-même!

My earrings on flurrsprite's blog! ~*~ Mes boucles d'oreilles chez flurrsprite!

2007-12-05T23:01:00.000-05:00

I recently donated a bunch of earrings to my Etsy team, to be given away as loot for contests and such. Yesterday, flurrsprite, our last winner, wrote to say she had taken pictures of everything she had won, including a pair of my earrings. So gracious of her, don't you think?

You can see her blog entry here. Just scroll down a little and you'll find the photos of the earrings. And while you're at it, have a look at everything else she won. It's really worth it! You can also check out her own Etsy shop. I highly recommend it - she handbounds books, among other cool things.

~*~

Dernièrement, j'ai donné quelques paires de boucles d'oreilles à mon équipe d'Etsyeurs, afin qu'on puisse les remettre comme prix lors de concours. Hier, la dernière gagnante, flurrsprite, m'a écrit pour me laisser savoir qu'elle avait photographié les articles gagnés, dont une paire de mes boucles d'oreilles. C'est gentil, non?

Vous pouvez lire son blog ici. Vous n'avez qu'à faire défiler vers le bas pour trouver les boucles d'oreilles. Prenez aussi le temps de regarder tous les autres items. Ils en valent la peine! Vous pouvez aussi visiter sa propre boutique chez Etsy. Vous y trouverez, en autre, des livres faits à la main!

Saturday Workshop ~*~ Atelier de samedi dernier

2007-11-26T16:20:00.000-05:00

Last Saturday, I hosted my very first beading workshop. I was very excited and not a little nervous to welcome four fun ladies to my kitchen for some jewellery making instruction. I have to admit, though, that things went very well! That my guests were smart cookies helped tremendously! All four girls left with brand new pieces to wear rather proudly.

Things went so well, I think I will be hosting more workshops in the near future, quite possibly after the Holiday season. Please feel free to drop me a line if you think you'd be interested in either attending or hosting a beading workshop yourself!

~*~

Samedi dernier, j'ai eu le plaisir d'accueillir chez-moi quatre super dames, pour un atelier de confection de bijoux. J'avoue que j'étais un peu nerveuse, mais tout s'est très bien passé. Il faut dire que j'avais des filles bien intelligentes et talentueuses comme élèves! Elles sont toutes quatres reparties avec de nouveaux colifichets qu'elles peuvent être fières d'avoir montés elles-mêmes!

Les choses se sont si bien passées que je planifie probablement en refaire l'expérience après la période des Fêtes. N'hésitez pas à m'écrire si vous aimeriez participer à un atelier chez-moi ou en organiser un chez-vous!

~*~

Isabelle, Yary, Sofie & Daphné

A couple of the girls had brought their own basic materials. Next time, I think I'll be offering a few kits to choose from instead.
~*~
Certaines d'entre-elles avaient apporté leur propres fournitures. Je pense offrir un choix de kits la prochaine fois.

Hard at work. Beading is fiddly stuff, you know...

Toutes à la tâche. Il s'agit bien d'un travail minutieux...

Update on the Basalt Bracelet

2007-09-25T01:43:00.000-04:00

She likes it! Hurray!

I'm really glad, because I wasn't sure we were envisioning the same thing. It's always difficult to design new jewellery for someone else without basing yourself on an actual existing piece. You're never sure what you are imagining is even close to what your client wants. So, we sent pictures back and forth and kept the conversation going. And finally, we both were satisfied with the result.

It's funny. In my listing on Etsy, I described it as being "a delicious steampunk-style bracelet". It turns out that my client, an author, is writing a steampunk-themed novel at the moment! Coincidence? Probably. Then again, you know what they say about great minds and all that...

By the way, I'd be remiss if I didn't highly recommend checking out her works. Her name is Nathalie Gray and she's a fellow Canadian. Word to the wise, Nathalie writes romantic erotica (Hi Mom!) and hers is definitely not for the faint of heart. Her maxim is "Explosions and... romance?" If this sounds good to you, and it should, visit her website here. Her stories are totally kick-ass! And make sure you tell her Mel sent ya!

Basalt Bracelet!

2007-09-13T17:23:00.000-04:00

Here are a few pics of a custom cuff bracelet I'm making for a client.

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, considering its size. It is 2" wide. I had to make the separator bars myself, as I couldn't, for the life of me, find any long enough to accomodate the 16mm lava beads. So I got out some sturdy 20g sterling silver wire and curlicued away on my wig-jig.

I've sent off a few pics of the bracelet to said client and am now waiting to read her reaction. Hopefully, she'll like it. But if not, I've got a few more ideas up my sleeve...

Newness...

Good News! ~*~ Bonnes nouvelles!

2007-05-14T16:55:00.000-04:00

( English will follow...)

Z'avez vu? C'est mon nouveau logo! C'est la belle Nany qui me l'a confectionné. L'est bonne, hein?

C'est pour ma nouvelle petite entreprise - Miel Designs. Pour ceux qui ne savent toujours pas, je fabrique des bijoux artisanaux. Dans très peu de temps, j'irai proposer mes articles dans quelques boutiques locales, à Ottawa. Déjà, l'une d'entre-elles est très intéressée. Aussi, j'ouvrirai une (toute) petite boutique en ligne chez Etsy.

J'attend seulement de recevoir mes cartes d'affaires et étiquettes personalisée, et aussi autres menus articles nécessaires à toute bonne "business-woman".

Je vous tiendrai au courant... Merci de me lire!

**************************************************

See? It's the new logo for my brand-new small business, Miel Designs. Innit great?

"Miel" means honey in French, hence the bee. Also, the Latin word for honey is - wait for it - mel! Well, actually, it's "mel mellis", but close enough...

My friend Nany created the logo for me. Isn't she a sweetie?

For those who don't already know, I make hand-crafted jewellery. What started as a hobby will soon be an actual business. I'll be proposing my designs to a few local boutiques, here in Ottawa - one owner is already quite interested, and will soon be opening a small (tiny) Etsy shop online.

All I'm waiting for now are my business cards and tags, as well as for a few small but utterly important odd and ends. I'm so excited!

Thanks for reading! I'll be sure to keep everyone updated...

For Spring... ~*~ Vivement le printemps!

2007-03-08T13:55:00.000-05:00

Here's my latest attempt at beadweaving. I must say I'm feeling pretty chuffed at the results! I tried to go for something that felt like spring. I think it totally works!

I used a green 11/0 Czech seed bead mix from BeadFX -- I've had these beads for along time and just didn't know what to do with them until now. The button flower clasp is made out of a yellow 6mm cat's eye druk (round bead) and 11/0 Delicas in Lined Cranberry (db75) and Lined Magenta AB (db56). Everything was woven together in peyote and square stitch using Evergreen Nymo B thread on the bracelet and red Silamide A thread on the button.

Thanks for looking!

*************************************

Voici ma dernière création, inspirée par le retour imminent du printemps. Comme je suis toujours débutante en matière de tissage de perles, je suis plutôt contente du résultat!

J'ai utilisé un mélange de petites rocailles (taille 11/0) trouvé chez BeadFX -- ça faisait longtemps que je les avais et je ne savais pas trop quoi en faire. Le bouton-attache est composé de Délicas japonaises de taille 11/0 (caneberge "db75" et magenta "db56") et d'une perle oeil de chat jaune de 6mm. En terme de tissage, j'ai utilisé les points peyote et carré, avec du fil Nymo B émeraude pour le bracelet, et de la Silamide A rouge pour le bouton.

Merci de votre visite!
