Juicy earrings - mmm

So how do you wear them? my necklaces.

Remember - it has two locks on each of its ends which creates unlimited options of wearing it. If your imagination is not your weakness, you will be able to invent new necklace every single day. Or bracelet actually.. Or belt...

Here are some of my suggestions

Wear it as an open-ended necklace - tie the ends

Or wear it as a scarf

Or make one loop around neck and then tie the ends

Or make 3 or four loops around the neck

Or wear it as a bracelet

Or...

Or....

Or...

Or...

Or lock the locks with each other and arrange it as a regular closed necklace - you choose the number and length or loops.

Or even tie a knot...

And the most important thing - I do these necklaces with love. They are charged with positive emotions and happiness - take a good care of them - and they will take of you. I promise!

For more ideas - see my newer post here

1. Mustard color with golden glass beads.



2. Mustard color with brown "tea" beads

3. Mustard color with brown wooden breads nad a gentle golden touch

4. And the last mustard one - with caramel beads. yummy

working on improving pictures on Etsy

Of course, pictures are one of the most crusial things when you're selling online. So I am trying to improve. Looking at other treasuries, realising which ones among my items have made their way to treasuries and why...

I have to say - I am really proud of my last pictures! And I know, I will improve more.

Now working on another set of necklaces - black with purple and pink. A girl has made a custom for a pink-black item (with emo flavour) and I could not honestly warm to it. however I promised to give it a try. And quite unexpectedly I have found an enormous inspiration in playing with shades of purple and pink... I have made 4 pieces so far - 3 of them have already found their new homes - even before I have taken pictures of them! And I suppose it will be such a great color combination for xmas festivities!

New strings!!

Here we go again with new color combinations!
All the following items are crocheted strings 53-54 inches long, which can be tied in many different ways! All of them have two locks on each of its ends, which allows your imagination to freely play with design.You just close the lock on any part of the string and the beads are big enough to make sure the lock stays stable.
Wear it as a bracelet, belt, or a thousand different necklaces!!

Look for more in my Etsy shop!

But meanwhile let me introduce 3 new strings!

Green background, blue theme and juicy pink touch... very gentle combination.

The next one is one of my absolute favourites!!

It's about time to gather some berries, am I wrong? The days are still long and the forests are still green, even here up in the north in Scandinavia. And this combination of fresh juicy berries and the green of the wilderness inspired me to crochet this string.

Brown wooden beads, red glass beads and orange drops. Juicy, melancholic and so down to earth warmed up by September sun

All of the strings cost 16$ before shipping ($2) Also I am doing custom items.
Give me a theme and I will make a string fitting your theme.

Facts about myself

Well, let's start with only 5, shall we?

1. I am 27
2. I am in love with Stockholm
3. I am always happy to get to know new people.
4. I bake a lot and nothing gives me more please than seeing other enjoying my cakes.
5. I am absolutely excited about my Tom Björn Designs project, and I am going to invest all my powers in promoting it!

Earrings, earrings, earrings.

Had put my earrings on today, and they had a success :)

People actually did like them! And why should they not? Actually very cute, made with love and devotion. I would never expect myself to be so proud to wear my own jewelry and to actually promote it - I am completely proud of it's quality, it's design, it's materials and the message it conveys. Well, otherwise I would never have dared to open a shop :)


I am keeping my fingers crossed. I really want it to turn out a success, which will make so many many people happy! And I will make everything possible to make it come true. A little casual Monday resolution :)


And here is an illustration of today -

EARRRRRRRINGS.....

The story behind Tom Björn

Well, there is no actual story! I have been making things with my own hands since I was a child (thanks to my grandmother Nelly, and to my Mom), and now I feel like making it my main occupation in life.

However, there is a story behing the name Tom Björn. Many Swedish people have already asked me why I have this weird name as my shop title. Both Tom and Björn are normal swedish names, but you can never get the combination of both of them together. The closest you can get is Torbjörn. And so many Swedes indeed assume that I simply has made a mistake - but no!!

This name belongs to my beloved huge teddy bear, which is actually serves me as a pillow while I am typing these lines. In Swedish bear it "björn", so he is actually Tom the bear. He was given to me by my friends on my 26th birthday and was initially named just Björn. "Tom" was added later as one of these friends wanted to share his own first name with this adorable teddy bear.
And so here we are - Tom Björn and I are virtually inseparable. We live together, sleep together, crochet together. That is I am crocheting, and he is making sure my environment stays cosy, warm and inspiring. He is my best supporter and companion in this endeavour of my shop, and as an aknowledgement I decided to name my shop after him.

He deserves it!
