Bronze
Forest
Pendant – black & green glitter resin pendant in silver bezel that reminds you of a night sky filled with fireflies. Necklace – Handmade blue, purple crochet cord with metalised beads that are crocheted into the necklace. A hand knotted cord and looped disco beads make the necklace asymmetric. Isn’t it very Gypsy? I could imagine a gypsy in a long flowing tiered skirt, a pheasant blouse and a headscarf wearing this as she goes to the market to sells her creations.
Ruby Rose
Gorgeous antique bronze heart bezel filled with multi color vintage sequins that are atleast a few years older than me. My mom used to do sequin paintings (very famous in India in the 70’s) and these sequins are from her stash; I think that it adds a bit of nostalgia to the brightly colored components. Ruby – rose, a combination dust brings in positive energy through Love. Necklace – handmade red, magenta & purple crochet cord with Pink, green and gold bead chain
It is a piece that will add that perfect Indian touch to western outfits or start a quirky romance with your silk sarees.

Necklace – Double strand Mustard Yellow & gray interlinked crochet cord with Light and dark blue mina beads forming the extender chain.
Spring
What if an ikat saree could be made with a contrast Kanchiveeram border using the Korvai technique? That thought led me to create this bold, eclectic necklace that combines some of my favourite colors and patterns.
Pendant – Eclectic gold, green, copper glitter and bugle bead embedded resin pendant Necklace – soft copper color cord wrapped with yellow and green silk thread in an Ikat pattern. wire wrapped Pink stone focal for contrast
PLUM – Pendant – raspberry, wine and purple glitter resin textured pendant in antique bronze bezel

How many times would you redo a piece? I redo it until I like it!!
The reason I am talking about this dreaded word is that I tried to make this piece around 7 times before it took it final shape and thereby delayed launching this collection. The pearls that you see are crocheted into the cord as the cord was being made and not after but by using a separate yarn which is hidden otherwise. Also in all the 7 designs of Pixie dust, the pendants were first thread into tens of metres of yarn of different colors thereby making counting of the croches impossible; still the pendants rest at the center. It took a lot of effort but I finally figured it out!!
My favourite pieces from the Pixie Dust Bohemian Jewelry collection is Plum ofcourse. However, I do love bronze as well for the metal work. So how did you find the collection and which ones do you like? I wire work collection based on what Regina, the other witches and fairies wear in Once upon a time is on mind, dont know when I’ll have the time and resources to do something like them.
Till Then, take care and enjoy this card that Radhika of Hobby Crafts has created based on the Tinker bell and Pirate fairy for a Lulupu Movie inspiration challenge. I just cant believe that she has dedicated that card to me :D. Can you see little bottles on Pixie dust on the window display based card?? There are so many little elements in it that you have to visit her blog to see them all.
I hope you find it interesting
Cheers
