Resin Infused Copper Bangle

This bracelet is so different I wish that you could hold it in your hand! First you would notice its weight, because it has some real substance to it. Then you would look under the glossy surface and see tiny little flecks of copper all held together by the resin. Almost a solid copper bracelet, with a very unique visual texture. I have a pendant to match in my etsy shop. You can see it here.
Thanks for visiting.

Magically Delicious

A buyer on Etsy had a wonderful idea...Lucky Charm cereal marshmallows set in resin. I was up for the challenge and this is what I came up with! My daughter is modeling the finished necklace, adorned with the "lucky charms".

First of all, I had no idea how many different marshmallow shapes there were. Last time I looked, there were 4. Now there are seven! And....marshmallows float in resin. I kept poking them down into the molds and finally the resin set and I covered them with the final layer. When cured, I sanded, polished and drilled them for the hand wrapped wire bails. Magically Delicious...to the eyes only. :)

Pressed and ready to start another life as a ring, a pendant or perhaps a bookmark....these four leaf clovers were found by my husband, who just has that eye for luck! I have others, still being pressed and now that the things are growing here in New Jersey, he is sure to find more. The real challenge for him is to find them before the bunnies eat into a leaf or two. Look for the finished product in my Etsy shop soon. www.aardvart.etsy.com

Musical Glass

I tend to work tiny with glass, but I find myself more and more interested in designing larger pieces. This wind chime combines so much of what I love about working with glass. Glass mixes well with metal and here I have copper wire that was formed into jump rings, copper sheet that was worked into the hanger, chain that holds it securely in the breeze. The glass is transparent, and makes the most beautiful sound when it moves and bumps into its neighbor...no need for an "excuse me" here....these pieces of glass need to be a bit clumsy in order to make their music. These are custom order pieces and can be a visual and auditory delight either inside or outside of your home.

Luck

While I am not sure if a four leaf clover can really bring one luck, I do think that it inspires positive thought. To feel that things have a better chance of moving in your favor is powerful. As many of you know, my husband loves to find four leaf clovers. At $10.00, these bottle cap four leaf clover pendants are an affordable way for you to have one of your very own. All of the clovers are different but yours will be beautiful and unique or your money back, no questions asked. Strung on an 18" brown suede cord with clasp.
