How About Four?

I had a request to do a four disk necklace. Hey why not? This particular necklace is stamped with the names of horses. Who says babies can't be furry?

These disks are stamped with smaller letters than the ones I usually use. I think I may have to start using them more. I like how they look.

Etsy Artist of the Week

I've been pretty bad about keeping up on this blog. Really, it shouldn't be that difficult. I add at least one shop to my "favorites" list every day, so I want to share some of them with you.

The Intuitive Garden is one of the first shops I found on etsy.

Here's a little bit from the artist:

Through what I would consider to be a sort of “mindful doodling,” I create digital illustrations and drawings inspired by nature and organic shapes. In addition to drawing, I also have a passion for taking photos and often incorporate my original photographs into my work.

I carefully and thoughtfully handcraft all the items in my shop. There are many steps in my production process and each piece receives lots of attention before being transplanted to its new home.

THREE!


There are so many brave souls with more than two kids, I just had to make this. (AND I've already had 2 orders for them). I also bought smaller letters so that more than one name will fit on a disc.

I have more things on order. The possibilities are becoming endless.

Here's my store.

I'm So Excited!!!

I have been wanting to make something like this for quite some time. I've finally gotten the tools and the instruction and I can't wait to make more.

These pendants are made from airplane grade aluminum. A friend of mine built his own plane out of this stuff and has a large sheet still in his garage. It is heavy duty! I cut and shaped the strips, then hand stamped the words onto the strips. The top of the pendant is simply curled around the cord necklace.

The larger pendants can be customized with a word or name of your choice.



You can see more pictures of these pendants and my online shop here.

Take Your Sun With You!

Here's is my latest, greatest creation:

I'm really starting to like making these bracelets. Yes, they do take a while to make, but it's a very calming experience. I sold the bracelet that was the same style as this but with blues and greens. Maybe someone will be in the mood for red?

I've also listed a few other new pieces. It's been a productive couple of weeks for some reason. You can see my other new things here.
