Like Colored Concrete

These rings are made from clay but they have a textured design on them that, to me, gives them an almost "real" silver flair, as if they've been hammered. I said "almost" so maybe if you see them in person, you may not think so. But...the design is still pretty cool. These free form shapes are hand painted in different colors with coordinating colored rhinestones. Right now I have what you see here, but I can make them all different colors, if there is a special color request. I like the "unfinished finished" design and think the final product turned out pretty close to how I wanted them to look.





ONE OF A KIND GOOD LUCK NECKLACE ...SOLD

This pendant/necklace is similar to my butterfly necklace below. It features a horseshoe design---opening up to catch the good luck--- and a goldish charm with a four leaf clover inside of a wishbone, and three czech glass leaf beads in different shades of green to compliment the brown earth tones of the overall design. Now that's a lot of luck! I may make some similar to this one as I have some more "good luck" charms that I'd love to use. Better than a bowl of lucky charms!


ONE OF A KIND BUTTERFLY NECKLACE...SOLD

This is the first type of pendant/necklace that I made in this style and it came out pretty decent. It's pretty much one of a kind as the design on the actual butterfly would be difficult to replicate, and the beading would probably have some variations. I will make more necklaces similar to this one, but they do take time to complete as it encompasses many different elements.
But I have quite a few design ideas similar to this style of necklace. I love the butterflies and the abstract shapes and how the beads tie into the motifs on the butterfly in color and shape. I usually make my own necklaces but this one I actully bought already made. Found them on sale (50 percent off) and wanted/needed a brown one for this design. But you will see more necklaces like this very, very soon...I have one that is drying right now that I need to put some finishing touches on. It's not a butterfly but just as whimsical... But most will be one of kind as this one is....I like to think of these as tiny works of art to wear! Enjoy!

Faux Gems Rings

This was a fun little design I came up with that combines free form clay pallettes with hand painted and glossed designs. I can do all different colors but usually try out new ideas in small supply (these are my only two) just to test if my idea will match up with the real thing. And it pretty much did! I've used my favorite pink and purple color combo in the left ring and a bronze and gold color combo on the right. But I'm open to different color combos and will make more upon request or if the spirit moves me to!

Cotton Candy Bling Ring


I really like this chunky little ring with pink cotton candy stripes and a purple rhinestone accent in the corner. Hand formed and hand painted. I love the pink and purple color combo but can do different color combinations as well in this same design.


Love...So Many Things I've Got To Tell You,,,,

It's what everyone is searching for. What everyone wants. The real thing. Straight, no chaser. No imitations. No limitations. Isn't so easy to find, is it?
This ring...however....available. You found it. And you can have it wrapped around your finger, forever.

Big Red, Black & White Baubles


One of these rings I am definitely keeping for myself. I really want the red, white & black one first. I'm willing to sell it, but if it doesn't sell soon and or fast (or if I even put it with my sell stash) it will be in my collection.
