I made this around at the end of February, but i forgot to post it over here.
It was a sudden idea that I had, and again, it was a gift, so I don't have it anymore.
My point of view, I could have done better with the finishing touches, but as a present it was appreciated (as I heard), so I'm starting a new business: making anything out of nothing (or things I can find around the house) and a crazy idea, anyone willing to provide ideas?
And the "thing" is over here:

For sale
As I said before, or if I forgot I'll mention now, everything here is for sale (well maybe not the exact ones you see here, but things are being made on request).
I also talked with a musics store, to make custom straps with chain mail for their shop, so if anyone is interested, don't hesitate to contact me, and I'll reply as soon as possible.

The Joy of Crafting - Part 4
As promised I returned with news about the chain mail project.
Without further ado:
The process of creation consists in first making each ring, then arrange them in a specific pattern.

Stress, Coffee, Photography
I had no idea (nor money) to find a decent preset for a friend of mine, who was turning 18. So I decided to make something, what did I know about her? She had a passion for photography, good enough...so the first thing that came to my mind was the image of a photographer, in a room full of smoke, sitting on a table full of films, coffee stains and cigarettes...what can I make? well...I found a frame around the house...this is what turned up:

Something For The Ladies
As I initially started, I made some pairs of earrings, and encouraged by my friends I decided to sell...I'm posting right now to show you the current offer, what I'm making right now.
The prices are 20RON for every model except the vinyls (that come in different sizes) and are 30RON. Personal delivery in Bucharest, also available for outer Bucharest, I will decide with every customer the method of transportation.
Discounts available if more than three pairs are bought.

Music comes first
I had an idea for some time now, and i managed to get it done. Quite simple, and it goes just fine with my blue wall. Here it is:

The Joy of Crafting - Part 3
With great delay i managed to return with news about crafting. and also found photos of the very first chain mail attempt, I told you about some time ago. The photo quality and the chain mail itself aren't great but you can make an idea about what I'm into...and very soon I'll return with more serious projects.

Guitars? Yes please!
Well...I've been having this idea for some time now...it's been only a few days ago that I actually managed to start working on it...and eventually finish it.
I suppose there isn't that much to say, the "things" talks for itself, about one of my passions.
I also must mention that two of the envelopes used in creating this are more than 20 years old.

Hehe, Coat of Arms
Since I started working on that chain mail, me and a colleague started talking about how nice it would be to have a place where to go and practice these things, such as a small village, or a shed somewhere, with a forge, an anvil or two and things like this... usually what you could find around a medieval blacksmith's workshop.
And since we were thinking of something like a little village, or better an island, or even a small castle, I came up with the idea to have our own coat of arms, after a little study, and seeing some others for inspiration...I started working on one, and now it's done, and soon it will probably be on our sleeve.

The Joy of Crafting - Part 2
I am returning with news about crafting, this time the theme is medieval, I'm working on a chain mail bracelet. It's not too big, not too spectacular, and it's the very first I am making, but I have bigger plans, I'll return with news as soon as I have it done, hopefully it will be soon(that is if i get some more materials tomorrow).
