While doing the daily drawing challenge the last couple of
weeks I have been working on some new jewelry pieces. I wanted to share some of
those with you.
In September I sold a few pieces to a local new age store. I
went in to buy some essential oils and ended up selling some jewelry. I keep a
small tub in the car of my jewelry in case I have just such an opportunity. And,
this week the owner called me to bring in some more for her.
The first piece shown here in made with wire and peach
quartz butterflies. It is approximately 2 ½” tall and designed to wear either
way. This is similar to one I sold to the shop.
One thing I like to do with my jewelry is design it so it
can be worn in multiple ways. I like to use chains that allow different
lengths. If a piece cannot be worn both ways I like to make sure the back is
nice looking just in case it turns while being worn.
The second piece is a wire wrap fossil. It is an Orthoceras
(mollusk) that is 400 million years old. I bought the fossil at a gem show in
Sedona this summer so I could wire wrap it. The finished piece is only 2 ¼”
long.
The third piece is a goddess face in polymer clay accented
with watch parts and other metal pieces.
The fourth piece is a polymer clay face colored with alcohol
ink. The face is attached to a large watch piece with other parts and wire to
hold it all together. A quartz crystal is attached as well.
The shop owner said that her customers seem to like the wire
wrap, Steampunk pieces with the crystals. So I have made a couple new ones the
last couple days for her. I will be making more I would think since this is the
beginning of the busy season here in Wickenburg.
Wickenburg is a destination for snowbirds and horse people.
It is the roping capital and has a big rodeo in February during Gold Rush Days.
This is a very Western town that grows in October and grows even bigger in
January. Then all the visitors leave in late March to go back to the cold
states. It's a nice little place to live.
