A chronicle of the meanderings, false starts (which in retrospect, while sort of embarrassing turned out to be highly instructive), epiphanies, selective apathy (still evolving), wild mood swings, opinions (subject to frequent change), and life lessons of an inveterate dabbler (and her latest dabblings).

My First Components

Well just this moment I listed 15 new items in my Etsy shop, all copper components. Here's a sampling:
Leaf Clasp
Giant flower pendant

Flower toggle clasp
British coin charm with rosettes
Heart focal with British coin texture

I also made this pendant with a pair of my small lily cones, a large lily cone, and a small ribbon bail. It was also my maiden voyage with recycled sari ribbon from Mudhound Studio! The piece includes some lovely aquamarine stones from my Bead Swap partner, Alice Peterson! I hope to have more photos tomorrow.

    I was lucky enough to snag 3 of these gorgeous components - and let me tell you, as beautiful as Keirsten's photography is, pictures don't quite do justice to these expertly crafted pieces!
