While I do mostly work in chainmaille jewelry, I also do beading, and am known to combine the two. Each item of jewelry or chainmaille that I make & sell is customizable. If you see something you like but it think it needs something else, message me and I’ll work with you to create the piece you’re imagining.
I LOVE to work with my customers to ensure they get exactly what they’re looking for. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions including those for other colors, different lengths, other styles or anything else you might think you need answered.
I will gladly do custom commissions, special orders, or even bulk orders such as those for a wedding, shower, or other gifts – provided I am alotted enough time to easily complete the task
With a wide range of styles, and materials to choose from, we can work together to make your adornment wish a reality.
The it is named scarab for the fact the units of the metal chain resemble beetles or more accurately Egyptian type scarabs.
I have developed this design for the Rosary Bracelet, which allows the user to always have it handy and visible – a constant reminder that prayer is close at hand. Each Rosary Bracelet comes in its own organza bag suitable for giving as a gift and to protect it when not being worn. The Rosary Bracelet also comes with a card briefly explaining the use of the Rosary (shown in photograph).
This particular Rosary Bracelet, lovingly crafted by me, is 8.25 inches long from toggle to bar, has Cruciform beads of turquoise ovals, and 6mm Week beads of coral. The sterling silver pendant is southwestern style Greek cross. All the other findings are Sterling Silver as well.
Dangling on a thread from sterling silver ball and loop ear wires and jump ring are a pair of tiny, yet perfectly formed red fungi. Needle felted from soft, blended English wools and covered with fine, ultra-soft Merino wools, these are ear ornaments with a difference!
This can be a great gift for that awesome hostess, or for yourself while hosting that get-together this season! Do it in style!
The fabrics chosen in this apron are 100% cotton, in stripes, polka-dots, & a solid chocolate color. The stripes and polka dots carry the following colors: stripes have hot pink, pale pink, green, pale blue, baby blue, pale yellow, creme, chocolate and orange. The polka-dot fabric is set on a pale blue background, with chocolate, hot pink, pale pink, creme, orange, & green colors.
The waist is in the polka-dot fabric, adorned with attractive fabric yo-yos: two in chocolate, one in polka-dot. The buttons upon the yo-yos are absolutely adorable- they are what inspired the rest of the apron!
The mid-section of the apron is slightly gathered, and in solid cholcolate.
The 1st tier is in ruffled, polka-dot fabric with a pretty baby blue rick-rack. The following tier: ruffled, striped fabric with the rick-rack., and the chocolate is beneath, without the ruffle.
I’ve used coordinating brown fabrics on these boxes and they’ve been stained and sanded to look very old. The square box is 2″ by 2″ and 1″ tall, and the round box is 2″ diameter and 1″ tall. Don’t they look so old, all tied up with that grubby gauze?
And look what you get inside of these boxes! The square box holds dried rosemary and the round box holds 3 whole nutmegs!
All of my creations come from my smoke-free studio in Northern California.
Spread the Love December 21-27 Merry Christmas

This shop has beautiful jewelry and wonderful tutorials. Very talented designer and teacher.
This tutorial teaches you step by step how to create a basic hinged cage, with or without beaded embellishments. This is a wonderfully versatile design to hold a favorite stone, maybe a love note, or a treasured trinket. Once it is on a chain, it is virtually impossible to come open by accident.
As a bonus this tutorial also includes 2 COMPLETE step by step variations including a crossed wire and locket style cage.

It will come to you, flying, in a special box.
Earrings have drop of approx. 3cm (1.2″)
These earrings were inspired by a design by Louise Smith.
My art is the visual story of my personal history. It reflects my fascination with color and shows what is in my imagination. Life is way too short to play with just one toy, so I play with fiber, fabric, beads, and mud.
Set of 6 tags for any occasion! These cute tags are hand punched and carefully put together to give you the best quality. Beautiful thick metallic paper. Each tag has a to/from on the back of it and carefully finished off with eyelets and beautiful satin ribbon.

This a labor of love and I hope that you will find something here that will catch your eye and you’ll just have to have!
I have done gem cutting in the past, so working with gemstones is a joy for me and I do have a background for it. I am knowledgeable in properties of the stones so please feel free to ask me about a stone if you’d like to know more about it.
I am also a Reiki Master, and so with each piece of jewelry I make it is infused with positive energy before it leaves my hands and is sent onto you!
I will custom order a chakra bracelet like this just for you!! Just let me know the size you need, if you’d like clear beads, white, or even black, and what type of clasp you prefer and away we go!
It has 7 different chip bead stones on it to represent and help each chakra, white seed beads and a silver toggle clasp for easy closure. So wearing this bracelet is not only a pretty piece of jewelry that will compliment anything, it’s something beneficial for your well being!

Consisting of the band from a vintage watch, and a chain of equal age, and embellished with two ovals of polished jade, its many virtues now yours to enjoy, from which dangles a heart-topped brass key, which along with a faceted brass bead, a random element of femininity, counteracts the relative severity of the overall design.
The necklace measures 22″ in length, and is asymmetrical, the clasp meant to be worn on the side instead of the back.

So glad you’ve wandered into The Tulgey Wood, the home of ‘Twas Brillig on Etsy!

Item: Father Christmas Ornament
Size: 5 3/4″ x 3″, not including ribbon hanger
Father Christmas was originally part of an old English midwinter festival, normally dressed in green, a sign of the returning spring. In this earliest form, Father Christmas was not the bringer of gifts for small children, nor did he come down the chimney. He simply wandered around from home to home, knocking on doors and feasting with families before moving on to the next house.
Cast using German Springerle cookie molds, each Paperclay ornament is then painstakingly hand-painted, sealed, backed and strung on ribbon.
This Father Christmas ornament has been painted Wedgewood Green & Titanium White for a high contrast ornament imitating jasperware. Jasperware is a form of pottery that has a stoneware body which is either white or colored, which is noted for its matte finish. It can appear in many color variations.
All of my paperclay ornaments are available as custom items in the color of your choice. Due to drying times, this process can take up to 10 days to complete. If you are interested in a custom colored item, please convo me for details!
