Custom Orders, Past and Present

Here's a little of what I've been working on lately. The first was a custom order for a lovely fairy bride in Australia, and it was an honor to create this piece to match her dress and the location and mood of her wedding.





This second one was a custom order that was to be a birthday gift for a close friend. This was done on the sly so that no similar work would be for sale in my shop before she had been given the gift, and was one of the first wire-wrap pendants that I designed sans lesson or guidance. The jewels are all luxe-rated, and were selected for their vibrant tones.

Congratulations!

My Secret Admirer and Promo Contests are now over, and the winners have been selected.

I chose both winners by assigning a number to each entry as each one came in. I used randomizer.org to give me one winning number for each contest, and matched it up with the entry of the same number.

Congratulations to "iamsamth"! You have won the $30 gift certificate to Elements & Artifacts! You may use it anytime in 2010, and it can be applied to any order, whether it is ready-made or custom.

Congratulations to the winner of the Secret Admirer contest! In order to keep it confidential so that the person she nominated doesn't find out, I have notified the winner by email. The ruby heart earrings will hopefully bring a smile of joy to a secret someone.

I received a flood of entries to both contests, and the thoughtfulness of the entries and nominations was so touching. A lot of you have more friends than you know. :)

My spring equinox jewelry collection is underway, and I have some pieces in it that just may knock your socks off!

New Work

These pendants are not for sale, but they are a glimpse of things to come. I am planning to use the wire netting technique and style in some new pendant designs later this year!



Also, I just completed a custom order for a bee pendant. He's a cute little bee:
