New Design

Here it is. A brand new designed chainmaille covered candle holder. This is the first of many more patterns to come. I made this the other night and I couldnt be happier about it.




Stainless Steel rings in a European 4 in 1 pattern. The glass candle holder is about the size of a softball, 12.5" around the widest and 2.5" diameter opening. Ive had mine burning for hours and the rings havent gotten that hot, alittle warm, but not dangerous.
I plan to make a more feminine one out of some aluminum rings with beads nad dangly things.

Ive been a bad blogger. :) No post in awhile, since my personal life has been all over the place in the last couple months. Thing are definately settling down now, and Im working on one of my goals for the new year to work on a lot more pieces.

Here are just a couple of bracelets that I had started and now finished and posted for sale on Etsy. Nothing too grand, but baby-steps, the bigger pieces I want to work on will be coming soon.

A japanese weave in a wavey pattern. Im liking how this one came out. A matching necklace will sone too. Made from bright aluminum rings that I made myself.



Just a simple tiny byzantine weave. I make this in a necklace and just threw together this bracelet too. Made from bright aluminum as well.

Another goal I had for 2008 was to be more active in pursing modeling. Ive recently found an amazing photographer so Im hoping for some great pictures of me in some of my larger pieces soon.

I'll try to be better with posting more, I promise. :)

Halloween is Around the Corner

Its getting to be my favorite time of year. The summer starts to cool down, and usually we have such brilliant fall colors in the trees. Halloween is coming. My favorite holiday. Here a a few of my pieces that are Halloween themed. More to come tomorrow when I can get some daylight pictures. *Spoiler* The new one has neat bone shaped beads.

I got my feet wet at my first craft show this weekend. A friend of mine had some table space at the Rice craft show so she let me set up. I think I did pretty well. Definately learned whats in demand at a craft show and whats not. Im definately hooked now. I want to do more.

Ive made about 7 wallet chains in the last couple days. My wonderful free advertising boyfriend wore one to work and someone said he would bring some of them to Sturgis with him to sell at his booth. I guess he sells motorcycle trailers, but Mac trusts him, and a small contract wont hurt either. It might be nice to see how well some of my stuff sells to that audience. I never wanted to be tied down to one genre. I like being versatile, from belly dancers to bikers, soudns good to me.

Though now I just feel like my hands are going to curl up and die, but the show must go on.

Been awhile

Its been a slow and hectic last month. In one week my computer died and my boyfriend was hurt at work. Well, he's back at work and my computer is still dead. It will probably be awhile before I get my computer back up and running, or get a new one, but Mac has been gracious enough to give me free reign on his for now. So I have a couple new designs to promote.





First is a Stainless steel wallet chain. Made with 3/16ths of an inch rings in a byzantine pattern. This one is made to 20 inches long without the clasp or big ring. I will be making these in 20 inches and 24 inches too. Most likely full persian and box weave ones to come.



This is a half persian weave done in 3/16" stainless steel rings. One of my new favorite pieces that I wear myself. It lays nice and flat on the back and has a nice design on the top. Matching necklace and ankle bracelet to come.

Thanks!
