Paisley and Snakeskin Headpins

I had a special order for a couple of these Paisley headpins so I made extra which are all spoken for. I'm making more so if anybody wants them Made to Order just let me know.

I've also decided to make more of these Snakeskin Headpins available, 

7-10 working days for shipment.

$15/Pair plus $3.50 shipping.

You can comment here or go to my FB page and comment to order.

I will invoice you for the total and as always combine shipping with anything ordered from my shops.

Toggles

There's so much going on in life right now, it took me a couple of weeks to finally get these toggles finished , photographed and listed in the DIY (design it yourself) section in my Etsy Shop.

I hope to spend the next 2 days sequestered in my studio!

Headpins, Shields, Beads...

Just Listed!
I'm really excited about these new pieces!

These wonderful Snakeskin Beads are quite time intensive,

 I'll probably only list them as made to order only,

and they won't be cheap.

 unless I can figure out a way to shave some of the work off.

I made the 6 pair above as a special order and realized I really should have upped the price.

Live and Learn eh?

Finally, Copper Headpins!!!



https://www.etsy.com/listing/103737387/handmade-copper-3-hole-leaf-pair



Delicious stamped leaves, I made them as earring pair,

they are on the large side so they aren't for the feint of heart!

LOOOOVE!!!!!

These large Copper Shield Focals,

4 different textures shown here.

You'll be seeing more of these I love them so much!



https://www.etsy.com/listing/103737590/handmade-copper-bamboo-small-oval



Somebody requested I do my Bamboo texture in something other than a square,

I recently added them in rectangle and now here are some in an oval shape.

Look for these to show up in my Etsy Shop tomorrow

July 6th.

Coming Soon Earring Bails

Just out of the kiln this morning, not enough time to list until tonight or tomorrow but here's a preview.

Very excited about my new Earring Bead Bails, I have to figure out a better way to photogragh them.

As you can see there is a hole at the top so they will swivel around, but you could easily wire wrap them instead to make them more stationary.

I have also made a pair without the top hole, I can see these being used as part of a closure as well.

 Here's the first pair of earrings made with my prototype bails!

Experiments with other shapes and textures, here's the Paisley pair.

And here is a Sea Urchin Texture pair.

And the last new creation is not a bail at all but a 3 hole drop with a leaf texture.

I have more new pieces made with a new texture I created

 but didn't get any good pictures this morning and it's time to get ready to go to work,

 you'll see them soon!
