Cute as a button (a button pendant that is)
A wirewrapped pendant, made from buttons!
I did this for a friend who was staying with us (after she bought this wicked big bag of assorted buttons on an art supply run). It was terribly fun and simple to make, so I’m going to be doing a lot of them methinks. They will be available for [...]
Wedding hair jewels, they were harder to make than anticipated
I was asked to do some sparklies for my sis and her bridesmaids for her wedding. At a sort of last-minute-ish time she informed me that they had to move the wedding up by two weeks, and that she’d like some hair things instead of necklaces and earrings (the stuff I usually make).
This was a [...]
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 [...]
I just made my first Etsy sale!
And they didn’t just buy one pendant, but two! I’ve always quite liked these two but they never got quite as much attention as some of the others, so I’m glad to see them finding a good home where they’ll be appreciated.
Now I need to devote a bit of time to making a few new [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
My screen is so purdy right now
