Featured Artist ~ The Kitchen’s Wares
Good Morning,
Today it is my pleasure to once again showcase the dynamic duo, Andrew and Kimberley Kitchen. This wonderful couple not only own and operate handmadeartists.com, they are also shop owners; and on top of that, they also run the site It’s Better Handmade. You may click through from the Badge to the left or follow the links at the end of this post.
The theme for today’s feature is Spring, and not just the season, we have things that are wound like springs, look like springs, things that evoke Spring and the feelings of cool breezes, fresh cut grass and blooming flowers.
Let’s begin with some of the wares from their shop ~
Makin the Best of It
They carry gorgeous wire wrapped sea glass pendants and some wonderful and inspired original artwork, including Painted Glassware and Re-purposed books from the hands of Kimberley Kitchen.
In keeping with the theme of Spring, we have this pretty wire wrapped pendant, the coil or spring, wraps around the stone ending in a lovely bale for attaching to your own chain.
Cobalt Blue Sea Coils Sea Glass Pendant BL007
Product Details:
This little treasure began life as a blue, glass bottle that was tossed into the ocean many years ago. Broken up by waves and sanded smooth by years of rolling water and sand, it eventually landed on the beach in New Jersey to begin its new life as wearable art!
This piece measures 2 inches (5 cm) from the top of the bail to the bottom of the sterling silver coil and approximately 1/2 inch across the width. The coiled cage holds the glass securly and has been hand wrapped in sterling silver wire.
This piece comes ready to wear on an 18 inch, sterling silver chain held secure with a sterling silver spring clasp. If you would like a longer or shorter chain, just let me know upon checkout and I will happily adjust it for you.
I am always on the search for new Sea Glass (Beach Glass) pieces to create wearable art with, so keep checking back for new pieces to add to your collection. Because of the nature of sea glass, each piece will always be one of a kind.

Spring brings newlife, and what says new life better than new leaves on plants and trees. This beautiful Sterling Silver leafy branch is decorated with fresh green sea glass and a contrasting white piece, perhaps meant to resemble an apple blossom.
Sterling Leaves Sea Glass necklace
Product Details:
This darling necklace features a hand soldered branch and leaves of sterling silver and shades of green and white sea glass on a sterling silver chain.
While this piece looks like a short lariat, the glass will not pull through the final leaf. The sterling silver chain is clasped with a sterling spring clasp.
This piece was created to wear high on the neckline at between 16-18 inches. If you would prefer a longer chain with a lower drop, just let me know and I will be more than happy to change out the chain for you. If you would like a similar design with different colors of glass, I can do that for you also.
What is sea glass? Sea glass or beach glass began life as trashed bottles and broken windows dumped into the ocean. The action of the sand and waves soften the broken edges and frost the glass before it is washed ashore to be found and given a new life. Each piece of sea glass I use was hand picked off the New Jersey shore and then carefully made into wearable art.

I have always been fascinated with the inner working of clocks and machines, spring driven mechanisms that can tell time, create movement in a puppet or simply act as an artistic centerpiece. This would make a great decoration for any Steampunk style room or decor.
Clockwork Orange Altered Book Art
Product Details:
Sometimes art speaks to one in a different way. This altered art piece is my interpretation of the novel Clockwork Orange. The book was cut and highlighted with an old clock face, spring, dial and gears before being set into a 6×8, black shadow box frame. Because of the nature of this type of art, each piece is definitely one of a kind…I mean, I can only hack up a book one time and it is gone! This piece can be used in any decor. I am working on a number of other novels so check back often and see how I see some of the classic novels.
The next shop is

Spring is the time of renewal, new crops, new leaves, new beginnings and new faith. The lovely Romanov pattern maille bracelet is just right for bright and colorful spring time attire, and the rites of Spring as well. This bracelet tells a story through the use of its colors.
Sterling Silver Romanov Salvation Bracelet
Product Details:
The colors tell a story in this stunning sterling silver salvation bracelet. Each Swarovski crystal is encased in a sterling silver Romanov chainmaille round. According to Christian beliefs, each color tells a part of the salvation story. Black is for the sin of all mankind, red is for the blood of Christ, white is the salvation we receive, blue is for the baptism waters, green stands for new growth in your spiritual journey, amber is for the streets of gold in heaven and purple stands for Christ’s royal robes as he rules the world.
This bracelet measures 7 1/2 inches from the sterling silver lobster clasp to the ring. If you are looking for a different size, just drop me a note and I would be happy to customize the length.

Silver Spoons and Solder
Good Morning,
The middle of the week brings me to my studio and what’s been going on at the workbench.
This week we have a couple of in process up-cycled pieces to share. They still require a little refinement and several hours in a tumbler, but we can show off a little bit of what’s new.
I am sure many of you have owned or currently own a spoon ring. This is a simple ring made from a spoon handle. Taking a twist on the battered utensils for other uses, I tried my hand at making pendants. Sawing the handles from the bowl, the bowl is put aside and the handle is then heated, hammered and harangued into submission.
I would like to mention the utensils I used were gifted to be by my Mom, and they come from her various trips to the “Junk Shops” or “Antiquing” as she likes to call it. They are well used items that is for sure.
These are very simply pendants. This handle was severely damaged, using a hammer the damage was incorporated into a hammered surface texture. The “stone” is from an other jeweler’s “junk bag”, also gifted to me. A handwritten note read “Assrtd Real Gems”. These were pre-set and meant to be used in leather or a belt buckle. Also terribly damaged and tarnished, the prongs were cut from the setting, the setting was cleaned, filed and then soldered to the spoon handle.
I really like the primitive look this has. It reminds me of something one might find at an archeological excavation or perhaps unearthed by accident. I think this stone is a deep green Tourmaline.
An other example, and this one I am not sure about. The stone is either a dyed quartz or apatite. There is a little seed or inclusion in the stone which leads to me think it is either a dyed crystal or a man-made (imitation) stone with an imperfection. It is a pretty light blue color. The camera tends to make things darker than they really are.
Here there are marks and imperfections across the surface of the spoon handle. Tumbling the piece will polish and remove the small surface scratches creating a uniform surface and shiny finish.
Up-cycled means just that, pieces and items are reused and re-purposed to create something new. It also means that surfaces do not meet exactly due to curvatures and other factors of the materials being used, giving each one a unique character and style all it’s own. These are meant to look like they have been made long ago and far away and to appear handmade, as a Blacksmith may have made them.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Wednesday Information
Good Morning,
There isn’t much to see on the blog today.
Brief updates and a news item or two.
The blog may become intermittent, it seems as if my iMac is almost obsolete, there is nothing more that can be done to upgrade or install newer OSXs or memory. The Rainbow Wheel of Doom is rampant and constant, so it looks as if I may have to replace this sooner than later.
Yesterday my Android phone decided it no longer wished to function. The screen did a Fade To Black with a little white dot and then it just kind of went ffffzzzzzttttt and that was that. Must replace that today as well. Radio shack here I come.
I am still sitting on pins and needles waiting for news of the Brick and Mortar building I have been offered for Little Shop of Artists. I am in hope that move in will begin as early as next week or the week after.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

Everything at The Alchemists Vessel or Blackbird Metalworks is handcrafted from start to finish. I would like to share with you a portion of a Super Secret Project. This is called Moss or Mossy Agate. This cabochon was hand cut, and processed by John Rasmussen of Rasmussen Gems and Jewellery, LLC. It will be mounted in a ring shank and sent back across the US for a very special present. He did an excellent job bringing out the lovely mossy inclusions on the surface of the stone, I think it looks like a tree and a bird or butterfly. Then again I have a very active imagination.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
I am excited and happy to announce that the building for Little Shop of Artists is available once again! Watch this blog for more details. The artists and myself are looking forward to moving in and setting up the wares. As soon as we are in and organized all will be invited to the Grand Opening Event.

Friday Fun ~ Let’s Talk Taurus
Good Morning,
Happy Friday! Welcome to the weekend. I think it’s time to have a little fun on the blog.
As many of you know when I first began the on line portion of the business, it was devoted to all things Birthday-ish, including zodiac signs, birthstones, charms, T-shirts. Well I am disappointed to say that went over like a ton of bricks. However many years later, and a lot wiser, we still offer those items, but have moved the focus of the business to jewelry that everybody can associate with, feel comfortable and beautiful in and wear with pride.
Let’s Talk Taurus
Taurus ~ April 19 ~ May 20 or April 21 to May 22 all depending on which book, Newspaper astrologist or other source you may read. However the constants remain the same:
Taurus is the Celestial Winged Bull, and the second sign of the Zodiac.
Element is Earth
Planet is Venus
Stone is Emerald
Plant is Lily
Lucky Number is 6
Special Day – Friday
Taurus’ are ~ Artistic, loyal, loving, sensual, steadfast, determined, practical, patient and reliable.
The Glyph ~
The glyph represents the head and horns of a bull or the chin and the Adam’s apple (Throat) of a human. Symbolically it is a half-moon forming a cup that rests on the circle of the Sun. It represents material power and wealth derived through the force of will.

| Original Taurus Glyph, by Alixandra of The Alchemists Vessel |
Birthstone Fun Facts
May – Emerald, a beryl stone.
The Stone of Success and Love
Physical Description: A deep to light green translucent stone,
Metaphysical Properties: Traditionally used to enhance memory
Alternatives:
Malachite: A Deep Forest Green Color
 |
| Malachite Earrings |
Its bright green color mimics the moors and reminds one of outdoors, hills, trees, and grass.
Metaphysical Properties: Promotes harmony and emotional balance, and reduces stress.
Interesting Fact: Used as a pigment for paint until about 1800. Malachite has been mined for about 3,000 years at Timna in Israel, also called “King Solomon’s Mines”.
Mythology:
Zeus, the father of the Greek gods fell in love with Europa, the Phoenician princess. She was always guarded by her father’s soldiers. Zeus transformed himself into a beautiful white bull with a pair of golden horns and wandered towards her while she was plucking flowers in her garden. (The cad!)
Europa was mesmerized by the beauty of the white bull and made him her pet. They became instant friends. One day, Europa climbed onto the back of the white bull, who making use of the opportunity, carried her away to Crete. After reaching Crete, Zeus revealed himself and later married her. According to Greek mythology, Zeus as a white bull represents the constellation Taurus.
Aventurine (Green), A Crystal.
Often miss-pronounced or miss-spelled “Adventurine”, this beautiful crystal ranges in colors from yellow to deep green and maybe transparent or opaque.
Metaphysical Properties: Inspires joy, a positive attitude and mental clarity.
Interesting Fact: The name Aventurine is derived from the Italian ‘ventura’, meaning “a mistake”. In the 18th a speckled glass was created by accident in Venice. The stone was named for this glass due to its appearance. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as “Indian Jade”.
