Two pairs of bigtastic earrings for a momma with a big and bright shining soul!
These are a set of Dying Full of Jangles Earrings and are built of sterling and pea green glass beads. There’s a lot of music to be heard with this set. I used a lighter gauge of sterling to form the sterling body of these babies so their lighter than one would expect but they do necessitate a set of stalwart lobes.
Claim them and rock them.
Hard.
A sweet baby darlin’ set of Dying Full of Jangles Earrings built, again, of sterling & pea green glass beads. These are smaller in stature than the big ladies featured above but they’re of the same soul. Made for a broad with big spirit.
A Glitz Ring built of sterling and a gorgeously teal hued slice of druzy agate. Gosh. I really loaded this one up. It has my usual anticlastically raised leaves as well as all the other bells and whistles BUT it also features one of my sterling bones as well as a three dimensional butterfly perched on one of the textured leaves. So sweet. So powerful. This ring is for any day of the week though not for shy women…any time I wear my Glitz Ring out and about I’m constantly accosted and it’s my great pleasure to claim it as my design and work when a gal (or guy) asks after where it came from. Be prepared. This one is an attention getter.
A new Idaho Ring. This darling knuckle buster features a gorgeous cut of Prudent Man Agate — one of my favorite Idaho sourced rocks to work with. I’ve set it simply but the setting is loaded with texture and the band is of the tapered persuasion. Yum.
Oy vey. This stone. This is a ring that features a beautiful cut of Madagascar dendritic agate. The dendrites in this cut look just like the drip technique some oil painters use in their work. It’s a modern setting. A simple setting. But it’s loaded with texture. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ring. It feels magical on — if you believe in that sort of thing….if you’re an oil painter, this ring is MEANT FOR YOU.
I promise.
Holy crap. Against my better judgement, I fired up my kiln out in the studio yesterday….I don’t do that very often in the summer time since it raises the temperature of my studio space up to about 114F. At one point I was wire wrapping a bead while sitting at my window bench and positively soaking with sweat, but all that sweat was worth it when I finished up THE WHITE BUFFALO!!!!!! I had a vision and I managed to bring it to fruition yesterday. This white buffalo features a bison silhouette that has been enameled white and fired multiple times to the point of perfection. I’ve prong set it on a sterling baseplate from which a wrapped sterling pendant drops down and terminates at a single, luminous pearl. OH FOR PETE’S SAKE. It’s beautiful. This piece is pure magic. Magic magic magic. It feels incredible on. It has a beautiful weight. It represents the spirit of the Great Northern Plains and is so totemic that my hands blister when I hold it (figuratively).
Today is also the debut for this pretty baby.
I blogged about it over HERE if you need a refresher on the details surrounding
this belt and buckle!
And in case you’re wondering how I spent Saturday,
here’s the other buckle I finished this weekend. I haven’t started the belt for it yet but it should make its way into the shop sometime this week.
Whew!
That’s all she wrote!
Sorry this preview has taken so long to post today! I had an out of town friend drop in before noon and I adhered to my notion that maintaining human relationships is more important that the business side of life, on most occasions.
See you there!
And thank you for your consideration of any of these pieces.
You rock the flock.
