Featured Artist: Blackbird Metalworks

Good Morning,

Today we are going to try something a little different.

Blackbird Metalworks creates Fine Jewelry in sterling Silver and Genuine Gemstones, as well as recycling and up-cycling of your old jewelry.

Showcasing at Little Shop of Artists is a collection of select ready-to-wear pieces.

Let’s take a look at some of the up-cycled items for sale.

Black Onyx and Sterling Silver Pendant $95.00

Created from a sterling Silver Money Clip, the metal has been re-worked and folded in the opposite direction and soldered closed.  The Genuine Black Onyx stone was set by hand, the entire piece was hand polished and a chain added to create a pendant.

“Recyclabauble” – $40.00

Crafted from a broken Sterling Silver ring, the shank has been repaired and re-placed and the empty space for a stone has been filled with a pretty electric blue class marble, because it fit the setting.  A US size 9 really is a fun ring to wear, it glows in the shadows and pops in the light.

Here, it is modeled by the designer.







There are other pieces available including necklaces, a very limited selection of Sterling Silver Earrings, Vintage and Handmade Rings, and other pieces like this repaired Vintage Swarovski Crystal Sterling Silver Plated ring in “Amethyst”.  

Vintage Swarovski Crystal Ring – $40.00

Located on display

V is for Vacation

Good Morning,

Today we change things up a bit.  The Blog Ring’s featured theme is Vacation.  I think after this week I am going to need one, but won’t ever get one again!  We are almost a week away from opening Little Shop of Artists, and I for one and very excited and looking forward to the first day of work.

Vacation, fun in the sun!  Lazy days with family and friends, time to relax, put your feet up and do things at a snail’s pace, no need to hurry.  And it is almost impossible to hurry in my favorite Summer Vacation accessory, the Flip Flop!  And you won’t find any cuter than the one’s my friend Debbi at handmadeartists.com makes.

These look SUPER comfy and the flowers are the perfect touch of feminine to go with that cute summer skirt you’ve been dying to wear!

I have several pair in inventory of varying color combinations and these can be special ordered as long as I have the colors in stock.

How about a completely different Flip Flop…  From a new shop on the site, these are called “Barefoot Sandals” and I have to say, they are rather a neat thing.  Like to go barefoot, don’t want to be seen as barefoot?  Dress up your summer feet with these fun accessories.

Cabochons and Faceted Stones

Good Morning,

Today’s blog is very brief, as I am in the middle of a project that must be done.

Jewelry making consists of many steps, parts, pieces, and time.  One of the most important parts or pieces of jewelry-making are the gemstones.  There are two basic kinds of cuts for these stones,  cabochon or a faceted gemstone.

Cabochons are usually cut from opaque stones like Onyx, Agate, and Malachite.  Cabochons have a flat back and a curved (convex) or domed top, there are names for the different surfaces of the stone as well.

Cabochon ~  Mossy Agate, cut, shaped and polished by Rasmussen Gems and Jewellery, LLC.  This stone was cut especially for me for the project I am working on. 

Mossy Agate Cabochon

Faceted stones are usually crafted from crystalline stones, such as Ruby, Emerald, and Diamonds.  The different surfaces of the stone allow light to pass through the different angles of the surface showing off the beauty of the stone.

Surfaces of the stone are taken into account from the table to the culet (top to bottom).

Faceted Pink Zircon set in 10K White Gold

Table – Top
Girdle – Middle
Culet – Bottom point

The girdle of the stone is usually placed in the setting for a nice balanced look.

What is Mohs Scale?

Mohs Scale refers to the hardness of the stone. Numbered 1 though 10 stones are assigned a number based on how hard the surface of the stone is, Talc being the softest at 1 and of course Diamond being the hardest of the stones at 10.  Most stones used for jewelery fall somewhere between 3 and 7 on the scale. 

Malachite 3.5 – 4
Jade 5.5 – 6
Amethyst 7
Ruby 9

Mia – healing stone Kegel Exercise Egg – mature

The Mia Egg brings you pleasure, if used with lover or on your own. Using the Mia Egg helps increase vaginal lubrication and moisturizing, for everyday comfort as well as sexual intercourse. The inserted Mia Egg brings you pleasure without being noticed. You can enjoy its’ healing and pleasurable benefits while jogging, swimming, reading, having coffee with a friend, on a long flight or boring meeting. You will be pleasantly surprised how a long cue for the bank clerk, seems not long enough…

Use the Mia Egg for Kegel exercise to build and heal your vaginal and pelvic floor muscles since vaginal muscles need to be used to hold it in. To enable the Mia Egg to naturally come out, muscles need to be relaxed. When this exercise is performed with the Mia Egg, the feeling of tension and relaxation is instant. This ensures that you exercise exactly the right muscles in the right way. The Kegel exercise is recommended by many gynecologists in treating urinary incontinence, since stronger pelvic muscles improve bladder control.

This Egg is 2″ (50mm) long l and 1.4″ (35 mm) wide. It is the classic Egg size, approved by ages of ancient China Chinese Tao tradition. It is recommended for starter level Kegel exercises.

This Mia Egg is made of a natural Red Jasper gemstone. The Red Jasper crystal has a strong Earth element connection and it enforces physical and mental health. The Red jasper is used for dream recollecting sessions. The Red jasper is a very lucky stone for actors. The Red jasper is a good stone to keep with you, since the more jasper is handled the more it sends out calming vibrations.

The Mia Egg is exclusively designed and handmade according to the ancient China Tao’s traditions. A Kegel Exercise brochure and a luxury silk pouch are included with each Egg.
Do not microwave your natural stone Mia Egg. But for an extra thrill, you can soak it in warm or cold water. Wash the Mia Egg with soap and water for cleaning, and drop it in a glass with alcohol or your favorite whiskey to get it sterilized. Never boil it! This will destroy its chain.

PLEASE!! Use common sense when enjoying your Mia Egg! Do not use it if you feel it is unsafe in any way. Before each and every time you use it, be sure to wash and inspect it for nicks, cracks, and scratches and check that the chain is strong and attached properly.

I use natural crystal stones, handmade glass for egg and beads and high-tech super-strong multi-fiber string for the chain. This makes it very strong and easy to keep sanitary with regular washing and care. I use only natural stone with no dye or any other modifications. No plastics, phthalates etc. are used in any Mia Egg.

Since I use genuine natural gemstones, every Mia Egg has its unique color and pattern that may be slightly different from the one presented in the picture.

WARNING: When inside, the Mia Egg brings you spontaneous waves of pleasure and joy. During this time you should NOT participate in any activity requiring complete control such as driving, nail painting or spacecraft navigation.

Enjoy!

Breast massage healing stone necklace – mature

Breast massage Lucy necklace is a uniquely designed and shaped item with a very long sautoir necklace and two large cookie beads, on its open ends.

The Lucy necklace is a luxurious handmade jewel that emphasizes your natural beauty and loveliness. But, this is not all that Lucy is. Lucy is also your secret calming, protecting and empowering jewel that can help you in the most challenging times and situations, since it is also a traditional breast masseuse. This is your secret that no one will guess.

Breast massage, when performed by your spouse, is a very healing and joyful experience. It relaxes both of you, calms you down and brings a happy mood into the situation. It may also be a perfect foreplay game.

This elegant Lucy necklace is 43″(108cm) long and made of natural stone and handmade glass beads. The healing agate hearts on the ends of necklace is 2″(50mm) wide.

The cookie beads at the open ends of the necklace are made of natural Thai Agate stone.
Agate is the must have protection stone. It protects from stress, from bad dreams and is said to protect children from danger. It enables the wearer to distinguish between false friends and true ones. It brings prosperity and creates an appreciation of nature.

In the western contemporary life style, the chest and breasts do not move enough. Many clothes and especially bras prevent your breasts from moving freely and naturally. This pressure interferes in the proper blood circulation and energy flow. This – makes your body weaker, more anxious and causes you to be more tired, feel exhausted and fatigued at the end of hard day.

Regular breast massage helps reduce or even eliminate these harmful effects. Breast massage helps diagnose and treat problematic conditions early on, and effectively.

You can perform a short self-massage a few times a day on top of your clothes. This way, you can keep your body and mind calm and fresh even in the most demanding business or personal environment.

A massage brochure is included in your Lucy necklace kit, along with a luxury silk pouch, to store your Lucy necklace safely.

If you need to clean Lucy after usage, you may wash it in soapy warm water.

Enjoy!

Featured Artist – Finding Charm

Good Morning,

It is my pleasure to introduce a new member of the blog ring and handmadeartists.com forum, although she does not have a shop on the site you can find her budget friendly jewelry on Etsy.  Links to the shop, blog and other ways for Finding Charm are listed below.

What Sarah says about her jewelry:

“I started making jewelry because I had outfits I just couldn’t find that perfect piece to go with. So I thought I’d buy some beads and give it a try. I was hooked, it’s almost an addiction! It’s important to me that I create charming pieces that don’t break the bank. I started getting compliments and requests and decided I should help others in their journey of finding charm.“


She really does have some very cute and super affordable jewelry.  Just in time for Christmas, let’s have a look at some of her lovely and charming Holiday themed pieces.

Christmas Tree and Pearl Beaded Lanyard

 

Silver Christmas trees? Fun, spirited Christmas Tree and Pearl Beaded Lanyard is made with silver Christmas trees and red, green, and silver pearls. Wooden silver painted trees are the focal point on this whimsical id badge holder. Look closely, and you will see clear crystals inside the trees and subtle gold splatters resembling garland. The shimmering red and silver plastic pearls are the same size and slightly larger than the smaller green.

* The lanyard measures 22 inches to the bottom of the badge hook.

Work in retail? Make your customers smile wearing a holiday id badge holder.
   

Christmas Green, Red Lampwork Bracelet for Large Wrist

 

Have a holly jolly Christmas with this Christmas Green, Red Lampwork Bracelet for a Large Wrist. Round green and red polka dot lampwork beads nestle between red rectangle and green polka dot, white stripe lampwork beads. The beads remind me of presents and candy.

* The bracelet measures 8 1/2 inches.
* The green beads are 1/2 wide and the red beads are 3/4 inch long and 1/2 inch wide. Crystal green beads add more shine and so do the round silver spacer beads. A simple silver toggle clasp is used.

Silver Circle Colorful Beaded Long Earrings

 

These Silver Circle Long Earrings are just charming. Turquoise, purple, red, and iridescent black charms hang from a circle. Great to put on and go out dancing because they are lightweight. Or wear them with a simple outfit to add a bit of color, charm, and something unexpected.
