New Clay Pendants and Face Cabochons in the Shoppe

2006-06-05T09:04:00.000-04:00

He looks very much like my dh...yes, yes he does

Making pendants from clay using brass wire for the eye hook, has been lots of fun lately. I have been creating face cabochons for a few years now and have always had tons of requests for them in pendant form. This is something I have done for custom orders but, only recently in pendant form. Acrylics are applied to enhance detail and character, then baked for the second time adding wearing permanence.

Monkey Love---Simple Neckpiece with Lampwork

2006-04-21T20:02:00.000-04:00

I have been craving just a simple neck display lately and have created an entire series on this thought.

4mm Riverstone beads used as spacers for artist created lampwork featuring a fun monkey lampwork bead in the mix.
You have to love these funky beads on such a simple stringing of thought.

Simplistic styling in jewelry is a nice compliment with modern styles and especially retro fashions of the day. A concentration on simple shapes is refreshing from time to time.

Thetis Silverfoot--I suppose Thetis would best be known as the Mother of the legendary Achilles. She is the immortal daughter of Poseidon, who laid with the mortal Peleus in contract. As much as she loved her son(for she held him by the heel and dipped him in the Styx) She knew that he must die in the Trojan war, but she knew also that she would make it away in which he would never be forgotten. So up to Olympus she flew to create a contract with Zeus, Father of all gods. Zues would pretend the Trojans were in his favor until Menelaus, King of the Greeks, begged his return and the fall of Troy, the great walled city, Achilles would die a mighty man. Thetis Silverfoot is made from mother of pearl sequins w/natural coral 4mm to attach, abaloni shell fish scales on the tale and numerous czech seed beads to embellish the body. Face cab by artist $350.00
