New Design! Futuristic Wire Wrapped Stone Necklace

My whole "thing" is that I like to constantly create what ever comes to mind. I get inspired by the materials I have, by my day and by my surroundings. I like to create one of a kind, never before seen and never to be made again. Always unique.

Here is my newest finished design. A hand formed wire wrapped mostly silver and a bit of recycled copper, aquamarine and purple goldstone necklace with a slice of agate. Measures about twenty inches and is a great statement piece!

Here you can see a close up of the aquamarine chips and inter mixed purple goldstone

I used square sterling silver wire for the toggle. I was sure to keep the pattern random.

I decided to list it here:

Time to finish

This...

Recycled wire, quartz, aquamarine...

When I am all done, I will let you know. Promise. It is awaiting its new life as a statement necklace. :)

Thinking about the Upcoming Holidays Sale!!

Because I am trying out a new way to display my designs I took pictures and then got the idea to run a sale..check out my shops on handmadeartists.com and storenvy

From far left at the top:

Hand knotted hemp bracelet with wood and prayer beads. Measures a little over 8". Doesn't have a toggle, does have a little pull to tighten the bracelet up.

Next to the hand knotted hemp is a three strand bracelet featuring vintage wood rosary beads, glass, plastic beads rescued from another piece of jewelry, purple pearls and one large dark purple glass bead. Has bronze lobster claw clasp and measures about 9 1/2".

Next up is a oven design I created and named Laurel in Yellow. It features pale yellow seed beads, white seed beads lined in silver, crystal rondelles and a vintage crystal button. Measures 7". I didn't get a clear shot of this one...oops

 

one of my favorites is next, hand made polymer clay roses and wood on silky cord. I even created the toggle out of clay. Measures 8" not including the rose loop that the straight end goes thru.

 

below it is a three strand green beaded bracelet with a clay piece that resembles green wave. At the bottom of the display is a cute little bracelet made with lace, polymer clay roses and pink beads. Two creamy white lampwork beads are included.

 

Right next to the demure little lace bracelet is a brightly colored Christmas beaded bracelet bangle

set. One is slightly larger than the other measuring three inches across.

I really must sign off for now as coffee and breakfast is waiting .....but heres a couple more close ups. Just message me with any questions. desertlily68@yahoo.com

 

This last picture shows two of my favorites.

 

The long one on the cord is a flat piece of shell with pearls and crystals wire wrapped onto it. The one just above it is a mix of turquoise and jasper with a vintage key as the focal point.

 

 

 

 

 

Summer Slows Me Down!

So, its officially summer here and probably well, everywhere. Yep, its summer and its dang hot. I tend to stay up late when its hot. I had every intention of creating a slide show tonight. Full of pictures, text and music. But alas, my laptop doesn't seem to have a movie maker app. I would need to purchase one and reviews are not so great on most. So, I declined downloading anything new this evening and instead decided to write.

One of the problems with me and heat, well I do get easily distracted an ummm its hot..

I did just for fun create a short video. I pointed to the fan, showed off a few books new to our home and just smiled. That's what heat does to me, makes me just a tad sillier.

I did create a few new necklaces lately and am really pleased with this one...

I also escaped the heat of the city and enjoyed the heat and beauty of Mt Rainier and Stevens Canyon

Where I discovered campfire toast is delicious

I also discovered stick trees that poke the sky and look really freakishly spectacular even thou the have no leaves and nearly no branches

 

I Was Once Displayed in a Gallery

I was once displayed in a gallery

made to feel pretty and important

 displayed amongst blown glass and copper sculptures doing my time and having a blast

created with love by hand and made to be admired and looked at

hung with care on a silken cord

sitting there in the gallery I about lost my gord

but alas, I am just a thing

a pretty thing to hang about

I have no gord

No gourd

No lord

No lording

I have just sat

Galleries are not really all that

mmmm

 but I miss them

I want to go back

to hang about with copper and glass this and that
