Happy New Year all! Better late than never *smiles*

 2014 was a very trying year for me, My husband has traveled to Texas for work and I am holding down the fort. Not alone though, I have Jesus with me, He is my glue.

I have taken up an old passion of sketching. In the months of  November and December.  I have sketched over thirty portraits.at first they don't look so well. I didn't post them in order as they were done.
Just click the tab above *sketched and paintings.* so you can see my work. I am so rusty hopefully I'll get better in time. Enjoy!

                                                                                                                                                               

WireSculpted Rings,Earrings,and Pendants

It has been awhile since I have posted anything on my blog and I apologise  to my followers. Jewelry making is Special to me but I had to take a break and focus on what is important to me and that is my Daycare business, without it I have no home. 

I will do custom orders on special items which I can do at night and weekends. Drop me an a message if you wish something to be made for a loved one.

 

Christian Prayer Reminder Bracelet

As a Christian, I know how important it is to read my Bible, so i've been racking my brain as to what I can make to to help others to remember to pray. Hear is what I came up with. If you would like one, e-mail me or visit me on Facebook. Please leave a comment bellow if you like ;0)

Green Turquoise Jasper Pendant

I have several 40x30 cabochons that I quite haven't figured out what to do with yet. Yesterday, I was feeling pretty good (headache free) so I took the opportunity to play with my wire a bit. I've been wanting to wrap one of these beautiful cabs because I find them gorgous. Here is what I came up with. Like? or Dislike. If you like this pendant and would like to own it just let me know and I will give you more details on it. The chain does not come with it though.

Upcycled Opal Pendant

This beautiful Opal setting used to be a pendant of a client of mine. She brought be some old jewelry and asked if I can make anything out of it. Of coarse I can :) So if you have any stud earring or pendants of sorts just lying around that need a new look. Drop me an e-mail and we can discuss what I might be able to do to upcycle you pretties.

Western Leather Bracelet

I absolutely love..... how this bracelet turned out. It looks fantastic on too. 

 

I don't get it!

After making this beautiful large bezel, I couldn't thing of what to put on it. I really liked it blank, but I felt that it needed some charicter. Here is my end result. Faux Turquoise. The two round pieces I made, they are wrapped in a foil bezel to mimic a traditional bezels that you would see on rings and such. I added a silver tube chain to give it a more of a western look.
 My Husband Said "I don't get it" * LOL* Art!

Winning Heart Earrings

These lovely earrings are made from polymer clay. This set of heart I recieved in a package of winning beads from Cindy Lietz. If you look back in some of my older post you will be able to see them along with some of her fabulous work. She wanted to see what I have done with them. So, Here you go Cindy. I had them on Monday and recieved tons of Complements. One of my favs now :)

Natural Stones

My Sister purchased these from a vender in Ky., and asked if I would wrap them for her. I still have a couple more to wrap before shipping them out. They are very beautiful stones in person esp. with the crackle effect that goes through them.

16 In. Collar Necklace

This is my second collar that I have made. The first one was made with copper wire and I believe used four wires wide. This one is five strands wide and a heavier wire. Almost to difficult to make.
 This one is 16 inchs round. I really love the look of Jewelers Brass.  It could pass as gold filled.

Speak of gold, I thought I would mention that 14 K & 18 K Gold Collars sell for $200. and up.  
I would sell this one for $75.00 if anyone is interested.

Worried about tarnishing? All base metals tarnish even silver so you might want to keep a polishing cloth around.

Paua Te Koha a Tangaroa The Gift of the God of the Sea

Paua is unique to New Zealand. The most colourful species of Abalone.
Regarded by New Zealanders past and present as a taonga or treasure. Maori legend has it that paua was a special gift from Tangaroa, the God of The Sea. It is unique to New Zealand, that lives on the rocky shoreline all around the coast, but grows best in the waters of southern NZ. This marine mollusk eats seaweed and lives clinging to rocks at depths of 1-10 meters, normally along the shoreline. Paua Shell is the most colorful of all the abalone shells. Most other abalone are pale in comparison.
