Medieval Spring

Medieval Spring

I had an idea some time ago for a beadcap made of two strips of metal, riveted together. Here is my thought experiment made reality! I couldn't figure out how to fasten them together (while avoiding soldering) until I discovered tube rivets. I love the medieval feel they have. I chose hollow lampwork globes by Alisha White in a taupey-mauve to debut my little medieval caps, and combined them with pearls and Czech glass in a fresh peridot green. Springy!

I picture them with a drapey gown, vaguely medieval (with a touch of 1930s Hollywood glam):

Sunny Disposition

{Sunny Disposition - for sale at my website}

Yellow is a hard color for me. I have exactly one sweater in my closet that is yellow and I hardly ever wear it because I am not convinced that I look good in this color. But yet, I do love it. It is bright and cheery. You can't help but be happy when you see it.

I found these sweet little ceramic charms at Michaels part of the limited edition Jennifer Jangles line. You simply must go and get some for yourself!

I whipped up these sweet little dangles with two of the yellow flower charms on some wire that I formed like a little leaf. I wrapped that with some peridot colored wire and topped it off with some tiny red glass flowers on the ear wires.

Perfectly paired with this cute little scalloped edge dress in a bright pop of yellow that says, "Hello world! I have a sunny disposition!"

3D Texture Love!

What is better than texture in your jewelry! I love being able to feel different layers of materials and finishes. These wonderful Fleur De Lis charms are the perfect example! So much to feel! They are wonderfully light too because they are made of polymer clay. These are in my favorite colour, green!

 I am never one to not give you selection! These stunning charms were created by the same person and I could not resist making them into a romantic and feminine pair of earrings.

Summer Sunset

 I love these sea urchin shell beads...so unusual and unique in coloring. They reminded me of a sunset on a gorgeous summer day.

Flower Child

I have etched brass disks and embellished them with pretty Czech glass in shades of spring!  In keeping with what seems to be my "go-to" design sensibility, I have "put a flower on it"

I would love to wear this with a long, flowy, romantic skirt and sandals if it would ever get warm enough to do so!  I saw this on Pinterest the other day, and may actually give it a go!

the Good Life

I had some punched out discs on my worktable and thought I'd put them to better use by stamping some words on them and making earrings with them. Waste Not Want Not? is that the saying? I dunno.
Anyway, I created the discs while a song called Good Life was playing on my ipod.  Hence the inspiration for the text I chose for these discs. Next, searching for something to dangle below.
I recently traded some beads with a FB friend/customer and she sent me these very uniquely shaped Jade beads. When I saw that the hole was across the top of the bead, like a brio, I imagined they looked very much like vases. And so. I added some glass flowers.

These are available for sale in my Etsy shop!

Bohemian?

Bohemian See Glass Earrings with Copper


"To take the world as one finds it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment—to laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous or unkind—to spend freely when one has money, and to hope gaily when one has none—to fleet the time carelessly, living for love and art—this is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in his outward and visible aspect. It is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment, this exoteric phase of the Bohemian religion; and if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some very pretty vices and lovable faults, for in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save that of Hypocrisy. ..."

"His faults are more commonly those of self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination, and these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity; for it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well. ...
What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique, and what is the charm of its mental fairyland? It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia! One must choose and find one’s own path, be one’s own self, live one’s own life."
