ILGD
"I've started crafting almost five years ago, I see this more like a
skill than a talent. I started with small easy crafts like felt coin
purses. And then I discovered jewelry crafting. I experiment with a lot
of materials from rope and polymer clay to bottle caps, bolts and
resin. I especially like making rings. My first ring was the Amelie
bottle cap (1st pic left) and my most recent is the industrial large
ring (1st pic right). My favourite of the bunch is the Audrey Hepburn
ring!"
MAMERALA
"Well since childhood, maybe 5 or something, I loved playing with
small real saws and cut stuff as if I was carpenter, you might say I was
copying someone but no, none of my family was a carpenter or even know this
work, I just loved cutting stuff and know how, after few years maybe 7-8, I started my interest in tricks, learning few by time, then at school I
was making small paper boxes, my first handi-crafts.
After few
more years, maybe I was 10-12 I saw the Illusionist movie, I got obsessed
with the locket and its trick, I swore I must have it by anyway. My
parents laughed and told me no one can make it for you. I said
ok, but I didn't give up, then by luck, when I started talking about it
again in front of my uncle, he told me he got a few wood pieces workers left
after decorating his house and they left a saw (the one like a ruler) too,
so I told him if I can try with that.
I started working and working,
but I was noob and didn't get any help, my parents were buying tools
slowly. I kept watching all tutorials people made, but I was still
having issues figuring it out after about 5 years from trying. I made it
but I wasn't sure how the picture moved without being cut in two halves,
then I remembered this trick when we move magnets to pull something
secretly and that was it, the magnet should pull the picture from side to
middle when I open it.
I didn't have enough, while I was making it I
kept making more accessories, they might be low quality and get rusted
fast but I love wearing them. I refuse paying on fake accessories. It's been about 8 years working on accessories for real, now I stopped a little and moved to writing."

I love how different their styles are. My favorites are LIGD's blue bracelet set and mamerala's tiara. Great job both of you :)
Beautiful creations! I'm in love with the ring. Congratulations to the winner!
Congrats to both of you, I love how different they both are. These are great!
Good work to both girls!
Congrats girls! I absolutely love your creativity, it is very inspiring, especially because I'm always lazy and even if I want to make something, I give up easily :P
Congrats! I love the rings *-*
I was just wondering what happened about prizes from last month's winners, as i haven't heard about mine yet?
