Of Hemoglobin, and some new Eye Candy....

Hot off the bench this week!

I'm calling this one my Hemoglobin Necklace.

For any Dexter fans out there, this sort of reminds me of his blood slides!

Probably the most incredible cabochon I've had in my possession.

Pigeons Blood Agate.  I am trying desperately to acquire more of this same quality!

The back is cut out because it is just as beautiful, and also because from the front this cabochon looks even more beautiful with flesh tone instead of a silver backing showing through.

Gorgeous Maury Moss Agate, in Autumn colors!

Autumn leaf pierced out of the back to reveal the gorgeous red moss, and just to play with absentmindedly while you wear it!

My signature Hammerhead Cocktail Ring, this time in Piranha Agate.

Some great little silver caviar accents on the back.

Size 6.5.

Beautifully dreamy Obsidian, revealing a silvery blueish Lunar Eclipse.

Some great silver accent balls on the back.

Size 6.25.

Sterling and 24k Gold Keum-Boo Stud Earrings.

Sized approx .30" round, and perfect for everyday wear!

All available in the Etsy Shop!

I hope that everyone has an absolutely delightful Halloween this year, filled with plenty of friends, family, candy, and good scares ;o)

A smattering of new work....

A few more Warriors Shield Rings for the shop, not quite as big as the giant knuckle ring I made last week though!  A bit smaller, and one that is Navajo design inspired, and one that is more King Arthur's Knights inspired.

We just finished watching the Starz Series Camelot Season 1.  Incredibly sad that they are not coming out with Season 2....I am now hopelessly addicted, and the characters they built are fantastic, especially the intricate character of Merlin.

Created this giant cross as I was inspired by the large and intricate metalworked jewelry, headgear, and cloak accents that adorned everything.  Really, the costuming is excellent in that show, you could watch it just for that.

All in the Etsy Shop now!

aromatherapy scent locket...revamped...

I decided to switch up the chain on my Aromatherapy Scent Locket, and use a oxidized sterling silver plated chunky chain instead of the vintage brass chain I had used previously.  The look of oxidized silver is one of my favorite things, and I feel really compliments the gorgeous tones of the copper.

Now, in the Etsy Shop

Alexander Calder...The Challenge

As part of my Etsy Metal Team, we have monthly challenges in which we can participate in for fun.

This months challenge was to create a piece of jewelry inspired by the work of Alexander Calder....an incredible genius.

This was my inspiration piece

And this was my finished product

I was sort of trying to emulate the entire photo of the inspiration. Meaning, I tried to re-create the head and shoulders of Angelica, as well as the forged neckpiece. I hope it came through!

Brass disc, Sterling Wire, Oxidized and Antiqued.

What a fun way to step outside the box and get the creative juices flowing!

Sentinel Tentacle

Ok.  So do you remember in Matrix 3 when the sentinels poured through the roof in zion? 

Well, I'm a geek like that, and I definitely do. 

I am fully aware that this does not accurately represent one of those sentinels' tentacles, but for some reason every time I look at this necklace it reminds me of them ;o)

Judge for yourself

Now available in the Etsy Shop
