LOVE JOY HOPE message pendant
I have created this message pendant in copper with the words LOVE JOY HOPE hand stamped on it. Then I hammered and textured it and put it through an antiquing process to add depth to the designs. I'm particularly pleased with the gorgeous rainbow colors the patina has brought out in the copper! Finally I hand polished the pendant to bring out the details.
Acknowledge these beautiful energies in your life by wearing this pendant as an affirmation. Or gift it to someone special and spread the love.
STOP AND SMELL THE TYPOS... copper pendant
A pendant designed to remind that there's no need to be perfect always. Just go with the flow...
I created this pendant in copper with the phrase "STOP AND SMELL THE TYPOS" hand stamped on it (some of the letters are lopsided and the word TYPOS has been misspelled with an extra E for good measure). Then I hammered and textured it and put it through an antiquing process to add depth to the designs. The patina brought out some gorgeous rainbow colors on the copper. Finally I hand polished the pendant to bring out the details.

Every Existence Would Exist In Thee - Charlotte Bronte quote necklace
"Though earth and man were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And Thou were left alone,
Every existence would exist in Thee."
That verse made a huge impression on me and has stayed with me all this time.
After all these years, when I was pondering on what beautiful words to inscribe on my necklace, the quote popped into my head and I knew I had to use it!
I created the pendant on a heart shaped thick (18 gauge) copper base by hand stamping the words "EVERY EXISTENCE WOULD EXIST IN THEE", then I hammered and textured it. Then attached it to a solid copper cable chain with a lobster clasp.
I put the necklace through an antiquing patina process to add depth to the designs and hand polished it to bring out the details and give it an old world charm.
Finally a gorgeous, deep red, dyed onyx charm as been attached to the bottom of the heart to give it that extra dash of elegance.
Length of chain: approximately 16 inches (41 centimeters)
Heart size: 1 7/8 inch (4.8 centimeters)
Pendant length including the onyx charm: 3 1/2 inches (9 centimeters)

Rico and Diego the mustachioed brothers together again
When Diego went up to the stage, he started to sing a song and suddenly there was a whoop and the next thing he knew, the red colored stranger, Rico, was hugging him tightly with tears in his eyes.
It just so happened that Rico and Diego were in fact twins who had been separated at a carnival when they were 8 years old. Fortunately they had a family theme song that their mother had taught them should such an occasion arise.
Through all those years of being apart, the boys never forgot the song. And it was precisely this song that Diego had just broken into when Rico recognized it!
After all these years (30 to be exact), the brothers have found each other again and they couldn't be happier. They have become absolutely inseparable, like all brothers ought to be, and spend every moment together making up for all those lost years.
They enjoy watching the ocean while sitting back to back and like finding shapes in the clouds as they lie on the rocks but the one thing most dear to their hearts is to play hide and seek so they can relive the insanely joyous moment they found one another over and over again. :)

On Ne Voit Bien Qu'Avec Le Coeur - Le Petit Prince quote necklace
During her course, she introduced us to a story close to her heart, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and read us a beautiful quote from it.
"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
This means, "One cannot see well but with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes".
Such a simple expression pregnant with meaning!
When I decided to start creating jewelry with quotes on it, this was the very first quote that came to mind and I made the necklace immediately.
I created the pendant with two heart shaped, thick (18 gauge) copper bases. I hand stamped the words "ON NE VOIT BIEN QU' AVEC LE COEUR" and hammered and textured them. Then I attached the small heart to the large one with fine copper wire, accented by a few copper rounds beads and a delicate handmade polymer clay rose in a deep red (burgundy) color.
Then I attached the pendant to a solid copper cable chain with a handmade copper clasp.
I put the necklace through an antiquing rainbow patina process to add depth to the designs and hand polished it to bring out the details and give it an old world charm.

Blotchy the wee freckled cyclops
He quickly learned to love his new name though. "Well nothing wrong with blotches, they do bring out the color in my horns", he said. In fact his blotches are cuter than freckles even, if you look at them the right way. What a positive little thinker!
Take him home with you and shower him with loads of love. You never know, his outlook on life might rub off on you and all you'll start to see is the bright side of life :)

You both start laughing together. :)

Meet Puffington - aka Puffy
Cify - the little devil
Cify (short for Lucifer if you haven't guessed already) is a cute little devil! As evil as he looks, he's one of the most innocent guys at Monsterville. Look at that face and you'll know! Sometimes he's naughty and then little whoopsies happen which he never intended in the first place. So the poor munchkin is totally misunderstood. All Cify needs is some love and cuddling and if you take him with you, he promises to be on his best behavior :)

Tribal Dance - artisan wire wrapped jewelry in copper and blues
Twisting, Wrapping, Hammering... I had a LOT of fun creating this necklace.
Length of necklace around the neck : 15 1/2 inches (including clasp)
Length of the focal piece: 3 1/2 inches
(The necklace size can be increased upto 16/12 inches at no extra charge)
The focal and the two wrapped beads are made of polymer clay. I had created those a while back and was waiting for that perfect jewelry design to strike me. Yesterday it did :)
I have accented the focal with a few lapis chips just to add that extra dash of deep blue.
The copper wire and beads have a beautiful patina which gives the piece an antique finish.
As in all my creations this set is unique and one of a kind. I have carved my initials in tiny letters at the back of the pendant. All my art jewelry creations are unique and I never make 2 pieces that are exactly alike! So you get an exclusive piece of jewelry which no one else in the world owns :)
