Shiny Things!!!

Winged Triskelion/Om Necklace

I haven't been posting on my blog lately, but I have a good excuse!  I've been making the heck out of stuff!
I've been honing my metalworking and jewelry making skills, perfecting my working process and generally having a blast designing unique adornments.

I've been playing with some of my favorite symbolic motifs; wings, the lotus, the celtic triskelion and the Om symbol, as well as delving into some fantasy themes like dragons and fairies.  So much fun!
I've got lots of ideas I want to explore, and new pieces coming out every week. 

Here are some of the jewelry pieces I've created so far.

New Handmade Jewlery!

Lotus Om with Spirals
 I'm very excited to present some new jewelry pieces I've been working on.

I've spent the last couple of months learning some new skills and experimenting with new materials and techniques that would allow me to bring some new jewelry designs to life.

These pieces feature my original art designs etched into copper and hand-antiqued with colorful metal inks.  


The central pendants are backed by a layer of polymer clay, which gives them a nice weight and a smooth, non-tarnishing surface against the skin.  I sign each piece by etching my initials into the clay.

Hammered wire spiral accents and sparkling iridescent glass beads complete each piece.  

Necklaces connect at the back with a barrel clasp that screws together.

This whole Working with Metal thing is new territory for me...I think I'm in love!
