Moonrise Kingdom + new LSD

Last week Andy and i went to see Moonrise Kingdom. It was.... Adorable! 

Its about A pair of young lovers who flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out and find them. Im not good with synopsis's so just go see it, its amazing.

Also.. This week I bought a new desk, which was a mega B*^h to put together (Took me at LEAST 10 hours...) but ended up working out well because now i have two desks to make jewellery at! they are in an L shape so they fit in the room.

I also made a couple of new special necklaces i am super happy with. check them out!

 Galactic Mutation Necklace

Divination Necklace 

They both have hand-made chains, which i am really in to making at the moment.

There is also another necklace i made which is a bit simpler + the Tooth Cross is made of Brass, but it is also awesome:

Unholy Crucifix Necklace

Anyway. Im tired. I spent nearly two hours at the after hours clinic tonight with an oogey bladder infection. Time for sleeeep! (And watching TV in bed, YEAH! Sooo loving having a new tv in our bedroom. HD, LCD 42 inches for $600!!!! I love the prices TVs are here..)

This Gal has Spunk.

Ahhh.. I am obsessed with a song. But i have an internal dilemma! I usually HATE clubbing/dance music... but this video (Minus the out of place mouthing white chicks) IS AMAZING! I am in utter awe at her funkiness and the power in her voice!  There aren't many voices like hers around.. I am kind of surprised her Facebook only has under 400 people on it! She should be mega famous!

Check out the video!

She (Kaleena Zander) has also done another song called Love Hard, and i am in love with it.

I really cant wait to hear more music from her. She is so talented.

What do you guys think?

Space Oddity

Hello fellow earthlings!

How have you been? 

How am I? Other than my wierdo swollen glands, ostomy bags that won't for the life of me stick (But FINALLY are now i've changed to a different type...) and a funky group of ugly pimples that don't seem to want to leave i am great! 

This morning I received a big juicy box of new castings which i am so psyched about, two of their babies i added today:

(Doesn't this remind you of either Vulcan Skyscrapers, or Kryptonite?!)

In other news I started taking lessons with a fellow Wellingtonian Jeweller - Vaune Mason! She taught me the basics on rub over settings aka. invisible settings. Next week we are going to make some custom tools so i can do the invisible stone setting at home! Yay!

I also have purchased all the tools and chemicals to do Silver etching, so be expecting some awesome etched items in the future! 

Oh! I also made these pieces in the last week!

As you can see, i have been a wee bit obsessed with experimenting with different colours. Really love the lilac earrings!

Anyway i must go, in a mood to make! :)

So much newness!

Hey there guys! 

Phwoah! I had an intense nerd out day yesterday! i spend 15 hours straight (I know kinda manic) Creating an all new Online store on my all new website!!! I AM SO PSYCHED! It is amazing.

It has a few extra things that my etsy won't have too, plus it just looks awesome... so its way cooler ;) 

You GOTTA check it out here www.littlesisterdesigns.co.nz

In other news... I made my first new piece i have in a while and am so stoked with it. 

It's called the Voodoo Priestess Bangle... Its inspired by our trip to New Orleans, plus it looks like something a voodoo priestess would shake around and chant with :P

Do you like the skull pic? I thought it just complimented the voodooness of it :D

Guess what my new site has that etsy doesn't? THIS BAD BOY!!!!!

I've been reluctant to sell this in the past as it is just too amazing, but i've decided it needs a good home. 

Its just too amazing... check it out!

Soooo. Sorry to cut this short but i am going to try and make some gift certificates for the site via paypal and patch up some other stuff. plus i gotta make some new stuff too!!!

NZFF, New Website & Giveaway!

Hello!!!

How are you guys all doing? Im gooood... The NZ film festival is on and I've seen 6 films so far, 5 of which were great. Cabin in the woods is just to insanely awesome to not mention. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT! And Bernie was incredible, Jack black was amazing!  I also saw a movie called Last Days Here which is about Hallie Liebling's (Of halcoholic.com and one of the bloggers who wear my jewels) Husband Bobby Liebling, lead singer of seminal hard rock/heavy metal band Pentagram, as he battles decades of hard drug addiction and personal demons to try and get his life back. Very good film.

 Just went to two movies tonight which were both really good! The first was Compliance which was just so disturbing and HOW-THE-HELL-COULD-THESE-PEOPLE-BE-SO-DUMB? (Check the page out here)

We then saw V/H/S/ which was sufficiently freaky enough for me to not be able to sleep until andy gets home from work... EEP! It was great though, at the end they had one of the directors doing a Q&A so that really calmed my nerves a bit... until i get home to our apartment garage and start seeing shit. Plus our hallway to our apartment is so creepy and has those lights that only turn on as you walk nearer.. like something out of the grudge!

ANYWAY! 

In other non film news.. The weirdest thing happened to me. My Website charlotteburkhart.com expired and i forgot to renew it straight away, and what happens? As soon as its gone a frigging japanese porno company takes over my namesake website! And I'm screwed! No more Charlotteburkhart.com... Its kinda funny though! It kinda gave me a push to create a new website... Which by the way is so damn easy these days. When i was 11 i made a Roswell Website and it took me months to finish it. But this was writing code... Plus... I hadn't figured out Copy/Paste !!! Now its basically photoshop, drag, drop, and your done! 

Heres a wee screen shot of the new site. Its going along with the theme my new jewelry boxes have.

Check out www.Littlesisterdesigns.co.nz

Now! To finish this post off for those devoted people who read this far, I have a Competition going on my Facebook site to win your VERY OWN Tooth-ache Necklace! All you have to do is Like my Facebook page, comment on this LINK and tell me what your fav piece of LSD is, and also Subscribe to my Newsletter HERE

The awesome news is if you don't win you still get a welcome email from my newsletter with a special code to get 20% on anything in my Etsy store.

Soo! What have you got to lose? Nada! Go on! Enter! :)

Anyway.. I think writing this blog has calmed me down a bit and i may be able to get some sleep in now haha. 

Hope you are all well!!

Are you pinterested?

Hello :)
I know I've been away for so long... And haven't been blogging. It's time for an update!
Last few months I was crook with crohns (yep it came back with a vengeance, since my operation, it's in 2 meters of small intestine now! Yikes) but I am back on some strong drugs which induced me back in to remission, and I am so glad to be feeling well again! I'll be honest. Most of the year so far, I didn't even want to think about doing jewellery. Thinking about thinking about doing jewellery would make me depressed. I guess everyone has these creative blocks? I'm pretty sure being sick didn't help! But now I am feeling like creating again !

I'm currently at my family home in Marlborough as my boyfriend is working for my dad crayfishing! Pretty cray-z for someone who wants to be an animator :P
SOO.... I can't make at the moment! So what do I do? Become obsessed with game of thrones (best show EVER!), cooking, and pinterest haha.. Oh and also... My sister is engaged! So I've been looking up lots of wedding stuff! Fun fun!

I am obsessed with this dress.. It's absolutely amazing.. I want it so bad!




Also, a heads up for all you guys who have been missing my online store, it's back up and running! But with limited stock. The full store should be open mid- late June.
I am feeling some medieval inspiration for my new jewellery.. :)

Anyways, hope you are all well! :)
