are you my momma?

i had so much fun creating this special custom necklace
for a lovely llama lover!
thought it might be interesting to show a bit of the process
(although i got excited at times... forgetting to take pictures)


1. started with a Sharpie and flat piece of copper... must draw llama!
2. drew a couple llamas, and was particularly happy with the little fellow on the right
(you can see i already began sawing the legs)

3. ACTION SHOT! continuing to saw the rest of the little llama!
i'm happy to report maintaining my one saw blade for the entire process

4. llama made it through! here's what the raw cut looked like.
afterward, i filed all the edges smooth (5.)

6. after filing, i took the llama over to the drill press... it'll be a necklace after all

i got a little too excited... and forgot about photos! as far as process steps i...

7. cleaned and dried the llama
8. put an oxide inhibitor on the reverse
9. sifted enamel on the front

10. popped little llama into the kiln!
11. waited for llama to cool
12. cleaned the reverse
13. sifted enamel on reverse
14. re-fired the llama....
11. and here's how the little sweetie came out!


i LOVE him :)

Happy Birthday to Canada!

Here's to you O' CANADA!

I'll be wearing my sweet little maple leaf necklace all day, and for the occasion have marked it do [today only] by more than 20%! This piece is on special sale for today only to get you in the spirit of our great neighbors to the North!

A little about the pendant, it's a handmade maple leaf, which captures a delightful sense of warmth, color, and beautiful glow of Autumn/Fall. I've done this in a special transparent enamel, allowing a subtle shimmer when the light reflects just right.

Enameling, put in its simplest terms is fusing of glass to metal at temperatures of around 1500 degrees F. The pendant measures just about .75" (shy of 2mm)and hangs from a 18" sparkling sterling silver chain.

Hope you enjoy the day!
Cheers

gimme fresh & cool

OK, you got it, friends!

a perfect piece of handmade jewelry for all year round, but i'm feeling particularly into this piece's cool refreshing color and shape.

maybe it's the heat index of 105˚

this pendant features an intricately pierced piece of copper, which has been enameled on both sides to ensure it's wearer-friendly! One side in cool aqua blue, the other in a deep oceanic blue.

only one! and in shop now :)
