Unicorn and Druzy Agate Necklaces!

I found these druzy agate pieces and thought they'd make fun, sparkly, pastel necklaces...finished off with a little unicorn charm :)

Masonic pendant

Pardon the lazy snapshot photo!

I made this necklace with the intent to sell it, but I think I may keep it. I used some old copper pieces I found in a box of “vintage” stuff. I don’t know how old the parts are. Epoxy was involved in making this thing happen.

It involves too many elements I like for me to sell it: old jewelry parts, a star burst, and masonic imagery.

Trade Beads cluster necklace

I bought some old trade beads back in the summer. They'd been sitting on my beading table that whole time while I figured out what to do with them. They've always been a challenge for me because of their size, color, and bubbly shape.

I wire wrapped them to a bit of oxidized silver chain and used some black leather to make a simple necklace. I'm really happy with it! So much so that I didn't give the leather any time to rest overnight so it still looks a little wibbly wobbly d:

Cricket Press

I worked as a volunteer at the Small Press Expo this past weekend. It was a BALL - I can't recommend it enough.

The majority of the show is devoted to books, minis, illustration, and other works on paper. There were a few people selling accessories. I couldn't pass up this gorgeous pendant from the Cricket Press table (and proceeded to geek out over wood engraving machines with the lovely lady there).

I think it looks like a little cluster of birdhouses, so I wire wrapped it to a vintage brass chain using a scissortail bird charm and a tiny glass bead. I had to punch a second hole in the little bird, I felt a little bad doing it! Though I don't think it minds :)

Eye of Providence Pendant

I now have one Eye of Providence/Illuminati style hand drawn pendant necklace for sale in my shop to see how popular it is! Another in a slightly different setting is in production.

Colorful colorful

Wow, it's been a while, blogger!

I've been caught up in Kickstarter fulfillment for the past month or so. We mailed out about 475 little padded envelopes full of Writers Dice...whew! A few hundred of those involved hand writing each address on a customs form. It was a pain in the hand for a little while, but it was worth it. We're selling a limited number of the remaining dice on etsy, so check them out!

I haven't had too much time to work on anything brand new, but I can at least share a couple photos of this maybe-too-colorful necklace that has remained unfinished for a while now.

colorful!

Too crazy? I can't decide. Perhaps I should just finish it off and wear it and see how I feel about it!

What's new: mah jong tile necklace

It's all done! Kinda fun, I think:

I finally got to use these brass parts I paired together to make a cool toggle closure.

And I really enjoy the authentic tile in the middle (it's easy now to buy replica tiles that are made just to be beads).

Necklace idea?

Hmm, this might turn out interesting!

What's new: pyrite necklace

I really want to have a "line" of jewelry I can call ZOMBIES. Stuff that has been junk for a while, otherwise dead, that I put together in a different way to raise from the dead! I don't think I'll call them this in my shop, but that's how I'll think of them...zombies. ANYWAY!

Pyrite

Some gunmetal colored chain with little chunks of pyrite -

two strands that look pretty good when they're a little tangled:

I don't have a great way to model necklaces yet, so bear with my funky purple dress form for now, please.

Fake gold!
