Patinas and Silk

Speaking earlier of thinking outside of the box, here are some things I recently purchased. I bought a pile of the lovely Sari Silk. It's my first fair trade purchase. :) I created a lovely bracelet with it already and listed it in my shop.

Sari Silk Bracelet

The mandrels are so cool. Four different shapes for making new cool findings. I bought them here.

The patinas are from MissFickleMedia. I've only tried out one so far and the results were pretty good.

Things in the Works & New Beads

I am working on this cool glass and paper pendant. All foiled wrapped and ready to solder. I actually have not created a soldered glass pendant before, so this should be an adventure.

It really is time for me to think outside the box though. Although I do create some jewelry that is what some would call "assembly" type jewelry, I love to create the parts and pieces myself. That's the only way you can have truly unique items.



Bought these new beads. I love black! Above are cinnabar, lava and a couple others. The ones at the very top are black quartz. They are really awesome! I hope they aren't too heavy for earrings.

Finding MY Style

I really need to find my style. Some days I create vintage-y things like thisThe Secret Necklace
And then some times I create newer stuff like this

For The Love Of Rock N Roll

I guess it would be ok to create both types of jewelry, but I have seriously been thinking about opening a second shop to sell one or the other in. It would keep my shops looking more cohesive. Ya think?

I'm Horrible!

Seriously, I can't seem to keep up with a blog to save my life. I've been reading a few blogs that I L O V E and it inspired me to start back blogging. Maybe I can keep it up this time! lol
