New Design: Miller

A new design!
I love the industrial feel and thought it looks like something that would be in a factory. I call them the Miller Necklace and the Miller Earrings. The balance between the chain and the metalwork is really achieved here. The brushed-back oxidation is another key for me, giving the pieces a wonderful pewter-y finish. The necklace can be worn several different ways: the hook in the back, the hook in the front, shorter with a link dangling... I'm very happy with the way the picture of the necklace came out too. Both pieces are available in my Etsy shop.

Persie Necklace

Another of the new necklaces and part of the Persie series. A pendant of three links in descending sizes hang from a ball chain. I like how versatile these links are. They can be sized up or down, so they can work for earrings, necklace, bracelet, or... (well, no, the possibilities aren't endless). The Persie Necklace is, of course, available in my Etsy shop.

New Necklaces

I've recently listed several new necklaces. I'd made these over the summer and was tabling with them. Since they didn't sell, I've listed them in my Etsy shop.

On the upper right is Rose Candy. Iridescent-pink, Czech pressed glass make up this asymmetrical necklace.

To the left is Autumn Leaf Necklace a heat-patinaed copper leaf-shape.

And, finally, Sunburst Necklace. A fluted vintage Lucite bead is the center of the sterling silver sun shape.

Delftish Necklace

I recently found these vintage porcelain oval cabacon in a bead store. Aren't they groovy? I have several different designs. Here's the first thing I made with them. It reminds me of the Delft blue china and I tried to compliment it with an antique finish on the silver. I call it Delftish and it's already found a new home.

Make A Wish Earrings

Brand new! These lovely and simply elegant posted earrings are wishbone shaped. When I was a kid, it was considered a privilege at the dinner table to be picked to break the wishbone and make a wish. (no, there weren't like 10 of us, only 3, but I was the littlest) Here is my modern interpretation of my pre-vegetarian-days talisman. Sterling and shiny, the Make A Wish Earrings are available in my Etsy shop.

Portland Craft Mafia

The Craft Mafia has just started up a group here. The Portland Craft Mafia held its kick off show last Saturday night. It was fun, intimate craft fair held at the Secret Society Ballroom. We all look forward to future PCM shows. Here's me and my table. This is a relatively new set-up for me and the first time I set it up on only 4' of space. I think it worked pretty well (and lucky for me, I matched the curtains hanging behind. It's SO important to coordinate!). Thanks to Leah Pellegrini - who was selling her great glass work there - for her documentation skills.

I Love Synchronicity!

It's all about the sevens!

Dear Bloggie -
Sorry I haven't visited in a while. I've been busy, but I haven't forgotten about you. I just have nothing interesting, introspective or funny to tell you about. Maybe I'll get more exciting and/or clever soon.
xxxooo,
Judi
