$17.00
A sweet friend walked up to me and said, oh my!, these little earrings remind me of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood!

But these are the Mrs. The Mr. has some blue chip beads and the Mrs. preferred only the orange carnelian beads.

It is all about the little miniature world captured on a bead.

You don't have to take your shoes off for these. In fact, I suggest you throw on a pair of heels, a flowy skirt, and throw a big red flower in your hair... and Tango!

I love these.

Copper hoops or loops are hand forged by me and attached to copper french earring wires. The clay beads are a vast color assortment of reds, blues, yellows and greens. In between the clay beads are some orange carnelian beads. The earrings are only about 2 inches long from the earring wire - down.

Hera

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:07:20 -0500

$25.00
The goddess Hera ruled over the heavens and the earth, responsible for every aspect of existence, including the seasons and the weather. Who wouldn't want to be Hera for a day?

This necklace is approximately 24 inches long to the black lace component and fits right over you head, but then it has the gold gorgeous vintage chain dangling onto your chest. (There is NO opening). It was hard to measure the exact length of this goddess!

It is a long statement necklace and it best with an open or strapless top. It would be great with a solid black dress/top for a fancy funky date night. Who doesn't need a little glimmer to catch his (her) eye?

I used pink see through material to wrap copper pennies. Below that is black lace material wrapping MORE copper pennies! You will be rich! You will see little remnants of pink thread throughout. The bottom of the necklace is from part of a vintage necklace I found on my travels.

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:07:20 -0500

$19.00
Maybe it's the twiggy feeling, but I put these on and twirled a bit and said, yes, Sycamore tree.

The earrings are made with copper wire hand forged to create a simple hoop which has wooden beads hand wired down the center. Dangling from the bottom of the copper hoop are an array of "branch" beads, and a few silver beads. The earring wire is also copper.

The length of these is about 3.5 inches long or just a tad shorter. I measured from the earring wire to the longest bead.

These will be noticed. They are very earthy and warm. You will be the only one sportin' these.
