The tile is encased in slightly larger than a 3/4 by 3/4 inch, high quality, deep welled ring blank, with silver overlay. I then set it in resin- though be careful not to scratch it! I used a new technique with this ring. I poured multiple layers of resin and manipulated it just before curing. The result is a ring that looks like it has a vintage glass setting- almost carved, like the days of old. Makes this ring one of a kind! OOAK!

The ring face measures approximately 20 mm x 20 mm (just over .75" x .75"). The ring band is adjustable and starts as approximately size USA 7 to 7.5. It will expand up to woman's USA size 10- though there will be space between the band.

Like all my jewelry, it will arrive in a recycled box wrapped with decorative papers.

Here we go with my printed miniature tiles set in a adjustable silver plate bracelet. I had such a great response with my first batch and am happy to offer you more of these unique little lovelies!

This inlaid tile in particular was inspired by the classic Talavera tiles of Mexico. The design was recreated and printed all by me!

The tile is encased in a 3/4 by 3/4 inch bezel and then covered in hard resin- though do be careful not to scratch it! Resin is a hard plastic that resembles glass but is its own unique material carrying its own qualities; difficult to break, slightly bubbly, and playfully modern.

Sweet Charlotte’s Seventh Mistake, is a collection of essays, poetry, vintage images, art, and documents that tell of the complex relationship artist Cori Crooks had with her dead, drug addict, con-artist mother.

Throughout the memoir, Crooks comes to terms with her past as an abandoned child, and explains the losses of her 6 older siblings while discovering the true identity of her own biological father. All of these haunting elements combine to tell a multi-layered story about identity, grief, and the consequences of truth.

REVIEWS:

“Sweet Charlotte’s Seventh Mistake is a visual feast of all the same documents and photos that lived on Crooks’ astonishing blog, A Gag Reflex. It is funny and heartbreaking, and it makes for an absorbing and compelling read.”
~ Cheryl Holliday, Emmy winning writer/producer of King of the Hill

“This is compassionate voyeurism at its best. As Crooks unflinchingly exposes every one of her dark secrets for all to share, she searches not only for who her family is, but who she is as well. A truly inspiring and fresh approach to a tough coming of age story and a must read for anyone, regardless of age.”
~Patrick O’Neil, Full Blue Moon Dementia

"More than just an autobiography, documentary or mystery, this work is a masterful literary checkmate."
~Indie, The Synchronicity of Indeterminacy

"“In Sweet Charlotte’s Seventh Mistake, Cori Crooks takes us on an intensely visual voyage of discovery. Adapted from her poignant, witty, offbeat blog – in which artwork, letters and newspaper notices were used to stunning effect – Crook’s search for identity (her own, her father’s) has now been transposed into a beautiful scrapbook format. It’s an innovative way to tell a highly personal, moving story and makes for compulsive reading.”
~Catherine Sanderson, ‘petite anglaise’

"Sweet Charlotte’s Seventh Mistake, recently published by Seal Press, is far more than just a blog transplanted to the page; it’s a chronicle of family dysfunction that is to memoir what sculpture is to Play-Doh."
~ Kel Munger, Sacramento News and Review

"If you like Cori Crooks' blog "A Gag Reflex," which documented her search to find the father she never knew, you'll love her new book. Crooks combines beautiful prose with photos, artwork and newspaper clippings to create a hilarious but heartbreaking chronicle of her search."
~Kentucky Courier-journal

ABOUT THE AUTHOR/ARTIST:

"Cori Crooks, artist and writer first made heads turn with her art/life blog, "A Gag Reflex", where she documented her quest for a DNA test and aired the results to the public. (Along with some photos of her mother posing in white cotton panties, circa 1950.) Her gutsy writing style and offbeat storytelling has since landed her a cult following and literary representation with Wendy Sherman Associates Inc., NYC. Look out for more from this new generation author."

The sterling silver bezel (17mm x 17mm or 3/4 by 3/4 inches approximately) and ring are made of 925 sterling silver. Check the ring for its "925" mark. The mark "925" stands for the component of sterling silver which contains 92.5% silver & 7.5% copper.

These tiles are extra tiny. I wanted to design something slightly more conservative and inexpensive. Super dainty and cute!

The pendant itself is 15mm square. My tile is laid in the high quality molded pewter bezel. I distress the bezel for a rustic worldly effect.

The tile design was recreated and printed by me! The tile is not bought in a store... and it is not paper! It looks exactly like a tiny ceramic tile but it is made from plastic and coated in glossy enamel. This makes for a necklace that is not too heavy and not too light!

Comes with a silver plated chain, approximately 42mm.

*My tiles are currently on consignment at the American Museum of Ceramic Art... but you can buy them here too!*

Enjoy!

Mexican decorative tile mosaic bracelet

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:33:31 -0500

$35.00
I am stoked to finally offer you all my printed miniature tiles set in a adjustable silver plate bracelet. I'm soooo happy with the results!

This mosaic inlay in particular was inspired by the classic Talavera tiles of Mexico. The design was recreated, printed, and distressed all by me. The result is a mosaic pattern that looks aged and plucked off a crumbling Mexican mission.

The tile is encased in a 1/2 ish-inch by 1 ish-inch bezel and then covered in hard resin- though be careful not to scratch it!

Like all my jewelry, it will arrive in a recycled box wrapped with handmade papers.

Peek into my ring & earring sections for mates!

*My tiles have been featured at the American Museum of Ceramic Art and at the Catalina Island Museum, CA... but you can buy them here too!*
