::: Do I Thrill You ~ Do I Chill You :::




Oh, let's begin with the little ghosts by Jeni Houser Alasad! They are constructed and made of hollow polymer clay and are super lightweight.   I fell in love with their rustic yet adorable good looks.  The glass striped beads have large holes which move freely up and down the blackened chain. Being made of glass also gives them just enough weight so they hang beautifully.

Striking enamel skull charms by Cathleen Zaring!  
I've noticed that I have a natural tendency of following shapes and patterns throughout a design - many times I don't even realize I'm doing it until I've already chosen my components and have begun constructing a piece of jewelry.  Looking at this design now, I see that the red silk tassels follow the shape of the jaw in the skulls.  Also, the striped pattern from around the eyes is repeated with the black and white striped beads below.


Once again the glass beads give the very lightweight tassels some swing.



The head actually moves independently from the tassel which gives this design movement and personality.

Little bit gypsy-boho-vampy!

I attached wire-wrapped tiny black skulls adorned with Swarovski crystals on their heads for a pop of color and flash.



I love the fringe effect and the crystals really dance in the light.




Many thanks for dropping by!  I will see you all again on Halloween Day!  If you have any questions always feel free to leave a comment or message me!

Fun with patina

This week I got my Vintaj patinas out and this is what I made.  I've antiqued and patinated/patinaed everything except the dragonflies. 




I also patinated these but didn't get a chance to turn them in to earrings yet.


The earrings will be available in my FB trunk show shared with my friend Cheryl Zink in The Jewellery Show group from 9pm BST/4pmEST on Saturday the 29th.  Hope to see you there. 

If you comment on this post, feel free to give me suggestions as to what you'd like to see in the future :)

See you soon.
