So the event is over! Everyone (I hope) had great fun and I am really looking forward to the next one. I loved the fact that people took time to make or adapt their costumes to the requirements of their respective houses -- so the event looked beautiful as well as was interesting. For the latter we have to thank the game masters!
The premise of the game was that there is to be a wedding between two houses that have been at war with each other for a while already -- House Blackwood (the only followers of the old faith so far south) and House Bracken. The House which is the rulling house of all these parts is House Tully and the Lord of the house deemd this wedding to be the only way to finally end the enmities. Unfortunatelly Lord Tully dies several months before this takes places and Lady Ayleen Tully takes the matters into her hands to finish what her husband started.

 I have finally finished a choker for this set. It had to be a bracellet, but the motive I started sewing ended up being somewhat too long for a bracelet and now I have this:

 I have been making jewelry from soutache for a while when I realised that I still have nothing that I can wear -- everything was given as gifts or sold. So I decided taht this was it and the next item or a few will be mine, just mine, nobody can have them :) And so this at first small and now growing set started.
First I made a necklace:

Next month we will have a LARP in a R.R.Martin A Song of Ice and Fire setting. If you like knights, politics and such and still haven't read this R.R.Martin's series I really recommend it. I am going to play as the lady of the Tully family and in this case the liege lady of all involved. So I am making myself some clothes in Tully colours and of course -- jewelry to go with them. I have already finished a brooch and earrings. Here they are:

A few weeks ago I attended a friends' wedding. This story started a month or so before the wedding when one of my friends phoned me and asked whether I still make soutache jewellery and when I answered positivelly I found out that she needed white earrings. Ha! I though - this got to be for a wedding. After some adjustments the earrings became earrings and a necklace. And finally got the photos to prove it.

Behold -- Giedrė on her wedding day!



All the pictures are taken by me unless mentioned otherwise. If you fancy a piece of soutache jewellery with any of the stones on my website -- send me a message or convo me on etsy.

This is a piece of jewellery that I created for an auction to help Horse Protection Society in Lithuania. The theme of the works for the auction was horses and everything related to them. I thought of various different things that I could incorporate into a piece of jewellery but the most attractive one as far as the form goes was a horseshoe. The idea was born now I needed to find the materials and design the rest of the necklace -- anything else I thought would be too massive if done in the way that I imagined my horseshoe.

This piece of soutache was lying around unfinished for a long time -- thought to make it into a bookmark but then thought it is going to be too heavy.

Finally inspiration rescued me and I made it into a necklace.

Central stone is agate, the big beads are agate beads too. Smaller and small ones are pirite -- I love to work with it, makes the jewellery feel real for some reason. I used golden and blue soutache braid. Back -- soft leather.
