Gleaming Facade

[natoki]

Ramen inspired beaded earrings, phone charm and keychains. I missed eating ramen from the time I was in Japan and I wanted to take something with me to college as a reminder of my previous trip.

Whats your favorite color to work with?

Good question, I don't have any specific bead color that I use the most. But I run out of DB1831 very quickly. I usually prefer opaque/ holographic bead coatings and avoid silk and frosted. There is nothing wrong with them it's just a personal preference.

Thank you for the question:)

And to college I go

[natoki]

I've watched too many short videos of ppl enjoying fruit cream sandwiches in Japan. I wanted to make some myself but I'm not skilled at cooking so I will deal with what I have.

After 2 years I'm back at tumblr, why do you ask? So a lot of family members and irl ppl I know personally follow my Instagram page and I dont feel comfortable with that. to the point of me being afraid to post there. I need to think twice or more before uploading jokes and reels on my story.

As well as (I post a lot and nothing that I post there feels like me anymore) my posts and videos I work hard on get little to no views and followers and it makes me feel frustrated to the point of quitting beading which wasn't my intention.

I feel frustration, I make new designs every week (which is crazy and a lot of work) and I feel like I get nothing out of posting them online. Im too afraid of failure that I don't open an Etsy or any other kind of shop online. I don't have enough audience and I know that no one will buy from me. And it doesn't even matter how unique my jewelry is or isn't.

Edit: now I have a camera so the pictures look crispy ۹(๑•̀ω•́๑)۶

I took "tooth fairy" too literally

+extra of the process

[natoki]

I like this choker so much! Not sure though is it more yamikawaii or yumekawa...

+ extra rings and hair pin set ★~(◠ω◕✿)

Hello again) it's been a while since I posted.., but here is part two! Pompurin choker~~

Should I make more sanrio inspired chokers?

[natoki]

It wasn't today, haha I just really like that outfit and wanted to share 😹. Look at my amazing Kokomi bag!!!

Btw I started noticing lately that I'm really enjoying the why I look. Not sure if it is bc I lost weight (which is good, I was unhealthy) or I just grown up and I feel more confident. Either way it's great.

My problem is I like everything in the process of making jewelry. Designing, making the beaded charms, gluing, adding spikes and chains. I love it. It makes me feel good. But will I ever wear it? No way! I don't like jewelry, its not that comfortable for me to wear in my daily life...

Any way here is something I made

[natoki]

Choker commission I made two months ago (I think?) They asked for a star theme black and purple choker and this what I came up with. Do u like it?

+ I'm adding some extra pics from the making process~~

[natoki]

When I was starting making jewelry I was thinking "I will work really hard to perfect my craft. The amazing jewelry my future me will make surly make me popular and have a lot of friends!" (Don't judge I was 12) In reality, the only thing I accomplished is making amazing jewelry. It didn't helped me to get friends, or popularity or even money. Don't be naive like 12yr me.

Anyway here is pompurin:)
