I drilled a hole through this one and paired it with my own hand made recycled silver pebble. The sterling circle represents the full moon we were lucky enough to see from the top of the hill looking down at the bay. It was one of the most amazing nights in my life and this necklace represents my experience! The three elements hang from a sterling silver neck wire.<br />The neck wire is 18&quot; long - I can make it smaller. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36584521 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:32 -0500 125.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.109489180.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36583212 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.109483960.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> This Chicken Poncho Bracelet is cinched & tied with a pretty peppermint pink bow.<br />Will fit all but the tiniest of wrists! Very soft alpaca, silk, and cotton yarn. Hand Spun as always!<br />A sweet, warm wrist cuff! <br />By the way, the chicken looking through the window is Lil Dayna. She&#39;s all grown up and too big to model ponchos!<br />Please contact me with any questions. Thanks.<br />Jen http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36583212 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:32 -0500 15.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.109483960.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36582231 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.109480574.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> Fit For A Chick OR A Wrist:)<br /><br />This bracelet is a bit chunky & will fit all sizes! It&#39;s a fuzzy piece because the yarn (which as always is my own hand spun) contains the following fibers.....<br />camel hair, alpaca, silk, wool, mohair, sparkles etc... <br />The wrist cuff is a slip on with no closure - it&#39;s very soft & stretchy & warm. The colors are yummy!<br />Please contact me with any questions! Thanks.<br />Jen http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36582231 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:32 -0500 15.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.109480574.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36575642 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.109458055.jpg" /><br /> $10.00<br /> Sweet and fancy! As always, the yarn used in this bracelet is made from many fibers including wool, locks, soy, silk, cotton, sparkles, etc... I spun it myself.<br />All of my Chicken Poncho/Wrist cuffs are crocheted or knitted free form so each has it&#39;s own spirals, bumps & frills.<br />This cuff has a shiny red button closure, is stretchy & comfy and will fit most wrists!<br />Please contact me with any questions. Thanks<br />Jen http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36575642 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:32 -0500 10.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.109458055.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36574712 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.109454901.jpg" /><br /> $20.00<br /> Clearly Lil Dayna is too grown up to model the ponchos now. I&#39;m using my little wooden duck but you get the idea!<br />Just like the famous &quot;Chicken Poncho&quot; I made this wrist cuff using my own hand spun yarn.<br />The yarn contains merino, silk, soy, sparkles, angora, sari silk, etc... These cuffs are stretchy and not at all itchy! <br />I drilled holes in this rough (but smooth) piece of shell for a button and attached it to the cuff with leather. <br />This will fit small to average wrists most comfortably.<br />Please contact me with any questions! Thanks.<br />Jen http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36574712 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:32 -0500 20.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.109454901.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36570985 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.109443808.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> Basically another chicken poncho:) <br />I spin my own yarn for these bracelets. This yarn is a combination of merino, silk, soy etc... They are all beautiful freeform one of a kind creations. This listing is for the Ocean blue/green bracelet with blue button.<br />This is an average size bracelet, stretchy.! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36570985 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 15.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.109443808.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10173158 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.42452230.jpg" /><br /> $250.00<br /> This is one of my favorite pieces I&#39;ve ever made. I&#39;m going to include some photos of the actual plant that is called Horsetail so you can see how beautiful it is. Horsetail was used by the Native Americans for scrubbing and cleaning pots, dishes etc. <br /> I made molds of some horsetail plants I found while working on an organic farm. Small things thrill me so when I discovered the plants I spent the whole day learning about them. <br /> The necklace features a fine silver horsetail which is about an inch long. It is strung with tiny fine silver beads with an aquamarine, a chrysoberyl, and a tiny fire opal.<br />At the back of the necklace near the clasp is a sterling hand forged button with an oxidized sterling blossom center. There are also a few rose gold vermeil beads.<br />The necklace is about 17&quot; long. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10173158 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 250.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.42452230.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10040954 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.44088445.jpg" /><br /> $200.00<br /> This was originally my &#39;Big Eric&#39; necklace but I decided it looked nicer with my humble daisy charm. Everything else is the same except the stag charm has been replaced with my daisy. The clasp is hand made and the necklace also features some Amazonite, hand made .999 silver beads, and other various surprises.<br />It is just about 16&quot; in length.<br />The Daisy is a little larger than a quarter. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10040954 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 200.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.44088445.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10022250 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.23567050.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> This piece is very special to me. I plucked a small branch from a tree in my yard and made a mold of it. I used Art Clay Silver or PMC to cast the branch, over and over and over because every time I tried to file it it would break because it hadn&#39;t been fired in the kiln yet. It took a long time to make this branch but I love it. It&#39;s filed, burnished and oxidized to bring out the beauty of such a wonderful little bit of nature. The branch hangs on a two strand brown leather necklace. The clasp is hand made by me as usual, from fine silver wire. I attached a small orange carnelian briolette to the clasp because it seemed autumnal.<br /><br />Featured In:<br />http://moodsandappetites.com/ http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10022250 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 75.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.23567050.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16487592 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.42158066.jpg" /><br /> $175.00<br /> The photograph is my own original. Wild Columbine is one of my favorite wildflowers. It grows readily in ridiculously out of the way places like rocky outcrops lining the most dangerous curves of Connecticut&#39;s curviest roads!<br />I made the frame using Art Clay Silver. The photograph is suspended in epoxy which I sanded and filed to give it a more abstract look. <br />The 1 x 1 1/2 &quot; pendant hangs elegantly on a sterling silver neck wire. I make the neck wires using 18g sterling round wire, the hook is part of the wire and each one is different.<br />The neck wire is 18&quot;. I can make a smaller or larger wire for you.<br />This is truly one of a kind, not a ready made silver frame - I fabricated it entirely myself.<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16487592 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 175.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.42158066.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10521221 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.22686321.jpg" /><br /> $40.00<br /> These sweet little earrings are made from Art Clay Silver, see info below. I hand sculpted these earrings so they were covered with my thumb and finger prints. I filed most of the prints off but left just a little in the center of the squares for a little texture.<br />The earrings measure about a half inch square. They are not perfectly identical because I made them one at a time, each one has it&#39;s own subtle characteristics - truly one of a kind.<br />The posts and ear nuts are sterling silver.<br /><br />About Art Clay Silver... <br />Art Clay Silver is basically the same thing as PMC precious metal clay. <br /> The difference between the two is that Art Clay Silver is made in Japan from silver reclaimed from the film processing industry, that is to say, it is recycled! <br /> The pure silver is pulverized into 20-30 micron sized particles and then is mixed with a natural non toxic binder. Upon firing the dried silver piece in a kiln the binder burns away and you are then left with a beautiful solid 99.9% silver work of art.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10521221 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 40.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.22686321.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10765522 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.24562321.jpg" /><br /> $115.00<br /> One Of A Kind! Ultra feminine and stylish!<br />I crocheted this necklace using different gauges of fine silver wire for strength, flexibility, and comfort. The toggle closure is also fine silver and is very sturdy but also pretty!<br />The length of this choker is 15&quot; so I would recommend it for someone with a long willowy neck. <br />Thank you for looking!<br />P.S. I posted some photos of crocheted silver earrings that I also have for sale, they&#39;d make a nice set!<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10765522 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 115.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.24562321.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11672960 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.42452676.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> This is one of my favorite pieces. I made this pendant using Art Clay Silver and a lab created ruby cab. I carved the silver into a delicate intricate design.<br />The pendant comes with either a sterling chain or black leather cord with handmade button toggle. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11672960 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 75.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.42452676.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10436617 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.22407144.jpg" /><br /> $25.00<br /> I picked some seeds off of my dog... I&#39;ll include a photo. They were kind of neat and plentiful to boot. I made a mold and used PMC to cast the charm after which it was fired in a kiln. It will fit on any cord or chain, if you use a cord it would look cool knotted right above the charm. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10436617 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 25.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.22407144.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10088190 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.44079251.jpg" /><br /> $150.00<br /> This is one of my favorites because it mixes my first pmc project with my first pendant and bezel setting and using steel wire to hammer a design on to the back of the piece before inserting the pmc cab. The pmc &#39;stone&#39; looks like a beetle or potato. It&#39;s abstract. I is strung on saddle colored leather cord with a hand made clasp. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10088190 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:31 -0500 150.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.44079251.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10242242 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.21766510.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> This came out NOTHING like I&#39;&#39;d intended. I thought the inner part of the cotton flower - the bole was fascinating so I decided to reproduce it in silver. I never thought it would look like a reproductive organ, pierced I guess no less. To make this, I painted pmc slip over the bole I don&#39;t even remember how many layers. It is a solid piece so I must have used a lot.<br />The bole measures 1 1/2 inches top to bottom and 3/4 inch side to side at the widest part. <br />The bale is sterling 16g soldered wire and will fit over just about any finding. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10242242 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:14:43 -0500 15.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.21766510.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9970444 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.20874954.jpg" /><br /> $80.00<br /> A newly emerging green twig with tiny buds cast in solid silver. This delicate springtime pendant hangs on my own hand made fine silver twisted wire choker with my hand made fine silver hook closure. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9970444 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:14:42 -0500 80.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.20874954.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16551070 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.42365301.jpg" /><br /> $20.00<br /> Don&#39;t let the size of these earrings scare you! Although they are quite large, they are also lightweight yet sturdy.<br />At roughly 2&quot; long they are bold! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16551070 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:14:42 -0500 20.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.42365301.jpg new 1
