Want Milk With That?

The first time that I saw the brown button in this ring I automatically thought that it looked like chocolate cookie crumbs. I added the creamy button underneath and voila! The "Cookies and Cream Ring" was created and I was pleased with the results. This ring is $3 usd and it sits on an antique bronze base.

I like making button rings in bright and vivid colors but I love making them in neutral colors as well, as not all of my 9 to 5 attire is hot pink and lime. So the neutral rings are for the everyday, but trust, I'll never stray far from the eclectic.

Red Kaleidoscope Dream Ring

This "Red Kaleidoscope Dream" ring is another one of my faves. The design on the fabric button reminds me of looking through a kaleidoscope, and the red and white buttons compliment it perfectly. It's $5 usd and sits on a silver adjustable ring base.

I wish that I was still at the age where I could look through essentially a paper towel tube filled with colored beads and a magical piece of glass that transported you to a lovely dream filled with vividly colored patterns and mazes for your enjoyment.

Now I just hope there's not a black ring around my eye when it's over. But there's no nasty surprise with this ring. Just magic baby. Just magic.





Summer Breeze....Makes Me Feel Fine....



These rings were inspired by mother. She reminded me that spring and summer were on the way and that I needed to make some brighter colored items for the season. And then, she asked me to make her something in navy. Gotta love it!
These rings are aptly named, from top to bottom, "The Green Apple Ring ($4 usd)," "The Pink Lemonade Ring ($4)" and the "Watermelon Ring ($5)."
These are stacked button rings on silvertone ring bases and they're ready to be the perfect accessories to cute summer dresses and tops and all of spring and summer's wonderfully bright and blessed colors.
And possibly navy.

Promise Ring...

No, this isn't a Promise Ring - it's a "Promised Ring." Which means it's been sold! This is a polymer clay creation in copper with a flower design that's been painted with gold accents and lightly glazed. It sits on an antique broze adjustable ring base and it's $7 usd.

This ring can be reproduced upon request and it actually would make a unique promise ring for that special someone.

Ring Bases...


Since most of the pics of my rings will be photographed from the top, I'm including this pic so you will know what my ring bases look like. I ordered them online from an Etsy seller, which, by the way, I love perusing Etsy. I would love to hear about Etsy sellers' experiences with the fees they charge and how all that works, because as much as I like the site, I can't get over the fee just to post for only 4 months. Sure, it's only 20 cents but some people have hundreds of items posted! We're in a recession! That's some serious cheese!
Nonetheless, I like the design of the site and all the unique and wonderful items. I can stay on there for HOURS in awe looking at all of the magic made by people from around the world. It's what got me inspired and made me say, "hey...I can do that...instead of sitting on the couch and eating cereal."
So, I ordered 100 silver and 100 antique bronze adjustable rings from a seller on Etsy. What I received was about 30 antique brozne and 170 silver and silvery white. So, no, it's not what I ordered. But I didn't want to make a fuss and go through the trouble of possibly sending back the incorrect ones and waiting on the new ones and all that jazz. At least it was the qty I ordered. Had it been less, I probably would have caused a stink. I wear a size 8 ring and they fit me with a little adjusting so the rings should fit most.

A Thousand Words...




Or...maybe just three.
These three metal button rings say a lot with just a little. Don't you wish some people were more like that? Give them to people who embody these traits or keep them for yourself and LOVE YOURSELF! Each ring is $5 usd and they are mounted on buttons in complimentary colors to their designs. All are on silvertone adjustable rings except sweetness, which has an antique bronze adjustable ring. I love the designs, I love the colors, I love the messages. Enough said.
Sold: Sweetness & Adore Ring sold out on 3.15.09


Electric Pink Fusion Accessory

I had some "batter" leftover from the "Electric Pink Fusion Cupcake Bracelet" and decided to make this sweet "Electric Pink Fusion Cupcake Keychain." I like saying that. Electric Pink Fusion! Yeah! Somebody put on a Queen record or some stadium music!
It's $2 usd. Though the pic is decent, I 'm assuming it was taken when the batteries on my cam were just about exhausted. So I'm luke warm about the pic, but LOVE the keychain. Hope you do too!
