Beach Stone and Pearl Necklace

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:29:22 -0400

$40.00
Handgathered Maine beach stone wrapped with sterling silver and paired with a beautiful freshwater pearl create the focal pendant. Each stone is unique; you can specify "bean" or "round" or "stick" shaped. Feel free to tell me what color you like as well; the stones I'm drawn to pick up range from medium gray to almost black.

The necklace is micro-steel cable, wrapped in sterling silver and wrapped again in soft nylon for great comfort against the skin.

The clasp is handmade hammered sterling silver hook with a hammered "0". It is set off with tiny Swarovski crystals for a subtle bit of sparkle. Wear the clasp in front, next to the pendant, for a richer artisan look.

Heart Stone Giclee Print

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:20:08 -0400

$42.00
Beautiful granite stones on the coast of Maine with a heart stone at the center. And the heart stone is a "wish" stone to boot, meaning it has a line of another stone naturally running through it. I found these rocks while walking on a Maine beach that is so far downeast it's almost to Canada.

Not your usual Valentine's Day gift.

Signed fine art giclee print on 100% cotton watercolor paper (Hahnemuehle Photo Rag) - image size 11" x 14".

(of course there won't be any of the writing you now see on the image when you get it.)

Love with Heart Necklace

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:19:48 -0400

$128.00
while i usually gravitate toward elegant monochromatics,
this necklace manages to incorporate elegance with spirited fun.

love is the motif
the heart shaped sterling silver pendant isn't smarmy or expected with it's oxidized treatment. the heart shaped lobster clasp reinforces the theme. a sterling silver hammered swirl suggests the universality of love.

this is a one of a kind piece, never to be repeated. it's inspiration is drawn from Jes MaHarry's phenomenal work, particularly her Meadow necklace.

Happy Tiara

Tiaras are happy, which everyone knows. Have you ever worn one around, just doing errands and such? People stop and ask you if it's your birthday (correct answer is always yes) or they just smile at you. Honest. I've done it. Lots.

This tiara is really Really Happy though. It's all twisty and snarly and ready for whatever Life throws at you (you'll just say "ha Ha!" and throw it right back!)

It comes in any of the colors you see in the picture of all the colors it comes in. And, if you need it just so, I might be persuaded to make it in a special color just for you.

Pick silver or gold, pick your color and pick a seat... it'll be in your mailbox in no time!

PS - This particular tiara has been sold, but if you would like one, please go ahead and order it and you can choose your colors!
