Amethyst ring

So, I haven't created many rings for my shop. I made this one a little while back, but could never get a good picture of it. I took new pictures of it yesterday, when I was trying to upgrade some of the photos in my shop. I'm rather pleased on how well it came out. This is a very small, delicate ring, and will fit a size 5 best. It would make a great pinky ring! :)

Size 5 Amethyst Ring

New Pictures!

So, I'm doing my best to try to upgrade some of the pictures in my shop. I'm taking millions (okay, maybe not millions, but it sure feels like it) of pictures to hopefully get one right. I'm rather happy with the way the ones for my smokey quartz necklace came out. I'm hoping to get some more good pictures this week!

Smokey Quartz Necklace

Garnet Dragon Pendant

Wire wrapped garnet dragon pendant

So, what's better than one dragon? Lots of dragons. They're my favorite new thing to create. :)
I'd like to present Rose, Queen of Dragons. There may be other dragon queens out there, but I would tell Rose. I'm not sure if she breathes fire or not...
Rose is rather found of her namesake. She loves the deep red roses and pink roses the best. Who could blame her? She's also awfully fond of any gemstones of these same hues, like garnets and rhodonite.
Queen Rose wants to come home with you, and just possibly take over your jewelry box. She might share your gems with you...might!
Rose is made from raw red brass wire and will age to a lovely patina.

Ready for Valentine's Day?

I'm starting  making things for valentines day. Are you ready?

Simple Heart Pendant

Here there be dragons

So, we all know sterling wire is way to expensive to use now. I do a lot of experimenting when I create critters from wire, and I can't afford to waste sterling wire. I decided to give red brass a go, and this is my first thing created from it. :)

Sterling Seahose Pendant

I'm rather fond of this pendant, so I thought I'd share it with y'all. The beads are some lovely 4mm teal round pearls. I hated to use them, because I wanted to just keep them forever (my beads, mine, mwahahaah). It's my own design,  I start with wire and imagination. I have 2 dragon pendants (made of red brass) in the works. I can't wait to share them too! :)

Ruby, Dragon Queen

From kittyd

Let me present Ruby, Queen of Dragons. There may be other dragon queens out there, but I wouldn't let Ruby know. Ruby is fond of garnets, crystals and copper. All dragons have their own peculiarities. She measures 3 inches long by 2.5 inches wide. The copper rope chain is 22 inches long and included with purchase. Ruby is made from raw copper and will gracefully patina with age. She represents over a dozen hours of work. She really wants to come home with you, but beware! She may decide your jewelry box is her own personal treasure trove...
Ruby came to life as a challenge presented to me by my jewelry making forum friends from about. *waves*
They saw the other wire wrapped animals I was making and said that they knew I loved dragons and should create one. This presented a real challenge, as I cannot draw. I have to start with raw wire and imagination. My first attempt at a dragon wound up being a raven. Darn wire has a mind of it's own!
