Hermes

Hermes is the great Messenger of the gods in Greek mythology as well as a guide to the underworld.He has also been said to be a bringer of dreams to the mortals.

When this design popped in my head, I couldn't wait to make it. I've always loved owls and wanted to make my own. He is wire wrapped and coiled in copper wire. His big eyes are adorned with tiny chocolate seed beads and centered with a carnelian stone bead. The body is a pretty brass heart shaped charm.

Have a healthy Happy New Year!!!

I terribly miss holding my tools in my hands and the feel of my wire bending and twisting. I can't wait to get to playing with some beads, copper and pliers. I caught the dreaded winter cold/flu and it has knocked me on my butt. It hit me on Christmas day and is still going strong. I've come to the conclusion, I might as well just wait until after the first to dive into any new projects. For now, I will rest, dream of new designs and try and have a fun New Years Eve. I wish everyone a  healthy Happy New Year!!


Blessings to All

Crocheted sparkle



This necklace is crocheted with tan/rust colored cord decorated with faceted iridescent beads. It measures approximately 31 inches. A great addition to wear with jeans or a sweater. It can also be doubled and worn as a choker.

Celtic Green




I made this necklace with copper wire and green opaque peridot glass beads. The chain is loopy which gives it a Celtic feel. It is unsymmetrical in design with copper chain on one side and green beads on the other. It can also be clasped into the loop link and worn as Y- necklace.

Curvy moonstone


I have an addiction to copper wire. I love making shapes, chains, pendants and sculptures from it. I made this chain from copper wire and added large moonstone beads between the curvy links. This necklace is very simply and pretty but is also comfortable to wear. I plan to get heavier gauge wire for a more chunky looking chain in my future projects.

Bending Time




"Bending Time" This contest was the perfect time for me to gather all my broken odds and ends and recycle them into a new piece. This mosaic pendant holds different memories from different people in my life. I had broken jewelry that I kept from my grandmother, mother and even my daughters grandma. I've always wanted to make something from that old broken Bulova watch.:) You can even see the tiny rubies embedded in the watch. All the copper findings are hand bent, twisted, wrapped and hammered. I've taken a brass filgree end cap and flattened and reshaped it into a rose bud accented with a red Swarovski crystal. I have added garnet chips to add color and richness. Little seed beads are swirled and weaved into the pendant for depth. This pendant hangs from a velvet rope cord to give it a royal look. So even though the pieces, parts and beads may be inexpensive, there is a lot of time and love in this pendant.

Bubbles

This design was inspired by bubbles. I made this necklace at the end of summer. I love how bubbles capture a rainbow of iridescent colors. I only used my round nosed pliers and a marker to form the groups of circles. The pink shells and Swarovski crystals fit perfectly inside the circles to splash my bubbles with color. The chain is made from crocheted copper wire with little pink glass beads. The clasp was hand made from copper. It's amazing how much you save when you make all of your own findings.

Aurora


This necklaces has the colors the golden sun and deep purple amethyst. It reminds me of a painting called,
Morning(De Morgan)by Phillip Otto Runge. 1808
Aurora appears in the mists of the early-morning dawn. You look into
her eyes and see her innocence! She reaches out, and
her finger touches your heart, and you sense the golden
radiance, like the fiery corona of the Sun. The corona
around the Sun – does it remind us of the coronary
arteries surrounding the heart? Corona is the Greek
word for a crown or a garland of flowers. ~~~ by Nick Kollerstrom

"Midori"






Midori is the Japanese word for "green." I love the color of these Howlite nuggets. They have different shades of greens ranging from lime sherbert to Kelly green. There is also lime faceted glass beads and green swarovski crystals. The color green is also associated with emotions, money, and has healing power. The choker measures approximately 16 inches in length and can be doubled to fit perfectly around the wrist as a bracelet. It has a ornate, silver toned, magnetic clasp which is strong and durable for these chunky nuggets.

All moved

It never gets any easier having to move. We finally got everything all moved into our new home. It was smaller so we had to downsize a bit. Finding a place for so much stuff. Yikes! I can finally unpack all my jewelry supplies and begin creating. Right before the move I did some jewelry demonstrations at the local fair every evening. Wasn't allowed to sell anything during the demos but did get to hand out lots of business cards and share my work. A good way to advertise and make some extra $.
