Dralion

I'd planned to add a dragon's eye focal piece to this but the design would be too heavy for the delicate stitch so this one will be as is. I got ideas for two large collar pieces in the process, so it's still a win.

Space Cadet

This is my finished space nebula cuff bracelet. The colors darkened considerably after varnishing so I'll have to find a way to keep them vibrant next time around. Over all, I am pleased with it.


Polymer clay over an aluminum armature. Micro beads, mica powder and pastels as accents. Varnished.

Pretty in Pink

I started this a few days ago and set it aside to work on some other projects. Anyway, I varnished it last night and just finished listing it on Etsy.

At the moment, I have two WIP pieces sitting on my desk. One is my space nebula concept and the other is a mokume gane piece with silver leaf inlay that refuses to have a backing put on. Don't know when those will be done, but hopefully I will have something to show in the next few days.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Deep Space

This is an experiment with a space nebula concept. It either goes really quickly and looks messy or goes really slowly and looks empty. I'll have to keep playing with the idea to see what I can make of it. I like the potential. 

Feeling Blue

This piece was a custom order. It has a base of robin's egg blue with chocolate brown detail. Impressed with butterflies to symbolize strength and beauty in the face of adversity, also symbols for all four seasons are hidden in the front veneer. The back is chocolate brown with gold leaf, rolled to make an aged, crackled effect. 

Pictures were taken in bright light when the piece was freshly varnished, so it will dry slightly darker. 

Bracelet Work

I've got two more bracelet veneers to show today. The first is a mokume-gane that refuses to have a backing put on it. I'm hoping the third time is the charm so I don't have to banish it to the back of a drawer.

The second is the front piece to a custom order I'm working on, made to compliment an outfit.

This piece has a backing on it, I just haven't taken pictures yet. A couple more little touches of spot sanding and some varnish and it will be complete. 

Nevermore

The bracelet is finally finished. It's polymer clay over an aluminum armature. Each feather was cut and detailed by hand over a period of three days. Silver leaf details on inside lining. Sanded and varnished.

It's a picture of a raven with a wizard's hat (I don't know why it's wearing a hat) with the words to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" around the bird. Super excited about this one :)

Cuff Cuff

Some more cuffs.

As always, you can click the pictures to enlarge them and see details.

I have another one in progress that I'm super excited about. It's got really intricate edging that has taken two days all ready though, so it may be a while longer. Also, I'm working on a Cellini spiral bead project now, so I have to choose between the two every time I sit down.

Thanks for stopping by.

Prototype

So I've been playing with some ideas I got for cuff bracelets. I've decided that I'll be making slight modifications to the inside lining in the future but I like the potential.

Please pardon the crappy phone pictures and the stray cat hair :) This one was claimed on facebook shortly after I posted it and I've all ready got orders for future work, so it seems I've found something good that I can call my own :)

There are two more waiting on my desk - one to be varnished and one that still needs the inside lining and sanding and varnishing. 

So that's what I've got. Thanks for stopping by :)
