New Year with new designs

2010-02-04T08:00:00.000-08:00

I have been working on many new designs in the silver clay. I have tried my hand at mosaics. Using sea glass and recycling old votives and jars to make vases. The process is long but the result is seaside rustic.

This necklace is inspired from my time by the beach. It is one of my favorite places.

This bracelet too is another piece that makes me think it is summer all year long.

I have always loved elephants. They are good luck with the trunk in the air. I thought I would pass on some luck to those who choose these pieces.

Glass and beads

2009-08-06T13:01:00.000-07:00

New items that have been a hit and sold almost as fast as I made them.

Silver pendants

I have also been taking classes in silver clay. The silver is .999 fine silver. Higher than sterling. These items I can make on order. This is silver in the original form looking like clay. It is molded and cut to what you like and then fired up and polished into pretty finished pieces.

Sets

2009-07-28T13:22:00.001-07:00

I have been making sets that are either necklaces and earrings or earrings and bracelet or all three. All items can be sold individually or as a set.

Custom orders

2009-07-28T13:17:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of the custom orders that I have been working on. If you have something you are interested in and I can make it then we have a beautiful item or set. One set is cut shell and silver beads and the other is carnelian with gold beads. Prices will vary depending on the type of stones or beads that you are interested in.

Glass

I spent a lovely morning on sunday in a street fair in NYC. I was able to find some beautiful glass pieces to create necklaces out of. So far I have a beautiful butterfly and an interesting blue glass necklace set. These pieces have changed how I am looking at what there is to enhance an necklace and really make them stand out.

Here are more sets that are made from Carnelian. A 3pc set and a two pc set. This is one of my favorite stones. I has such a rich earth color that reminds me of my trip to Sante Fe. The earth is the color of these beads.

Jewelry

2009-07-05T13:26:00.000-07:00

For the past 4 months I have been taking classes and began making jewelry. I started with one class that taught me about necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Then I took an earring class and I was hooked. I decided to start playing around with all the beads that I already had and then started shopping for new things. The ideas have been flowing. I was lucky enough to have a friend who gave me a good amount of stones she was not using so I made things from those and have made some beautiful earrings. Some of the photos you can see. I have also begun to make custom orders for those who are interested. That work I really enjoy. Each person has an idea of what they want and I can be creative in making it come to life. As I continue to make new pcs I will put them up here for all to see.
