2 New Pendants

I’m doing pieces for 2, count ‘em 2 weddings right now, for two very nice gals. What’s great is one of them is somebody who found me through eBay, so all the time I spent paying too many fees wasn’t a complete wash. ^_^
This one is fun because I get to use a lot of [...]

We’re now 20% less broken (the site that is)

My I’ve been busy, haven’t even had time to just sit down and post.
Last week was rough, what with that whole harassment unpleasantness. I haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things, and of course that means that there is a bunch of work now ahead of me. Why oh why doesn’t the bad [...]

Bob Ross - Why I don’t paint people

A lovely little tune to kick off a quiet Saturday morning.
Fun fact: Bob was a huge influence on my becoming interested in Art from an early age, but despite this, I never did get very good at using paints (I’m more of a coloured pencil/graphite girl), and my subjects are almost exclusively people.

Heart of Glass-Pluggery

Click here to buy ($10) Sold!
Hearts are a little tougher to wirewrap than some other shapes, especially when they’re as thick as this. I’ve only done two so far (the other one sold on eBay a while back) but I think I like the way this one came out best. The circles make me [...]

Another Shilling in the bag, with a Sixpence chaser


Shameless Plugging-Turquoise Cabochon in Copper

Click here to buy ($15)
I haven’t been plugging my Etsy items very much so I thought I’d feature something once in a while. This piece was kinda experimental. I have a terrific book on wirewrapping that I haven’t worked through very much yet and I wanted to try one of the more [...]

First of the 1933 Shillings

I’m calling this the “first one” because I’m pretty sure there are at least two of them. I could be wrong, the other one could be 1934 but I don’t want to get up and check just now.

I completely forgot to photograph it yesterday, I had a touch of the insomnia and [...]

It’s a good day when my thumbs hurt

Wrapped another antique coin this morning. This one was a 1933 Shilling. I had some slightly crinkled wire from a different wrap that didn’t go absolutely perfect and I thought it might lend a certain touch to this particular coin, since it’s a little on the worn side. I think it turned out pretty neat, [...]

Amazing ink art!

I was fortunate to be contacted by this amazing artist who happened upon my site while searching for help with an Etsy mini problem she was having. I hope she found what she was looking for, I don’t think I had anything useful posted here.
Anyhoo, she has a ton of really wonderful art [...]

We interupt this blog for an important re-enactment

There’s this guy that I’ve been subscribed to on Youtube for ages. I actually signed up just so I could subscribe to him. He’s a young actor who does all these amazing re-enactments, and he’s just posted a new one of a scene in Clerks that simply must be shared, especially if you love Kevin [...]
