Leather Moccasins for My Grand Daughter
I finished my grand daughter's moccasins! This was a long overdue project. Since my grand daughter is still quite young and doesn't necessarily fit in these yet, I didn't hurry too much!
I found the pattern for these on Etsy. I purchased the pattern from a lovely Etsy seller from Slovenia. I had to check on the world map to see where this country was. It's surrounded by Italy, Croatia and Austria. The seller is a pleasure to deal with. Click here to see more of her tutorials; they're delivered directly into your email after you've paid.
Once I had the pattern, I shopped for some fun colored leather and I found this wonderful leather shop here. This Etsy seller has an amazing array of beautifully colored and patterned leather pieces for your special project!
The last thing I needed was sinew. Because of the leather being pink and apple green, I didn't want your regular color sinew; it didn't look too good together, so I opted for some synthetic sinew, which is in fact a heavy, waxed thread. I chose the white because it was the only color that seemed to go with my project. It wasn't quite thick enough so I doubled the thread and that worked out great! This artificial sinew is very strong and is wonderful to work with. The seller uses it for baskets.
Every part of my little moccasins was hand sewn, which I really enjoyed doing while watching a movie. I finished the inside with a dark purple felt insole and an apple green ribbon with knotted tips as laces. I then added my special touch - my signature with love!

Modern Rustic Ring for Men
This is my latest ring design that I named: "Centered." I'm focusing on wide copper bands; a new collection for Men. The rustic look of textured copper covered in a beautiful antique patina contrasts beautifully with the aluminum, rectangular focal shape with dot at its center.
The aluminum is finished in a rugged, rustic look with a solid rivet attaching it to the main ring.
See more info and more rings by visiting my store.

Ring for Men Wide Copper Band Hammered Ring Rustic
I will be designing a series of wide band rings for men. I'm focusing on them being rustic, textured and mutli-metal (copper, sterling silver, fine silver and brass). I'm thinking these rings would also be awesome for a rustic wedding ring. I will make sets as well.
Here is the first copper and sterling silver, wide band ring for men. Click here to see more information. See more of my jewelry creations here.

Statement Beach Stone Jewelry Beach Stone Rings
If you're a beach enthusiast than you know what I'm talking about when I talk about beach stones; they're naturally beautiful and smooth to the touch. Who doesn't collect beach stones and shells when they're on the beach? It seems that we automatically tilt our heads down to scan the sand with our every step. Looking for that special, little beach treasure that will jump out at us.
Since I started making jewelry over eight years ago, I have collected some very interesting beach stones, sea glass, shells and driftwood to add in my creations. I've been going through them and gradually pulling them out to bring you unique, one of a kind pieces of jewelry and more.
I was inspired to make large, chunky rings with my lot of large stones and here is my latest design - chunky copper ring with sterling silver claws and gorgeous, white beach stone with flecks of black.

Mexican Style Earrings Gemstone Labradorite
I added new earrings to my collection. When I began designing these I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I started with the Labradorite gemstones and went from there. These took shape as I went along and they ended up having a Mexican feel in style and design.
As are most of my products, these are 100% handmade from copper sheet metal, wire, pliers, gemstones and a torch. No components were factory made. See more information here. See more jewelry here.
************************************************************************************

J’ai conçu ces pendants d’oreilles aveuglément, sans avoir de direction; je n’avais que les pierres de Labradorite pour commencer. Peu à peu les pendants d’oreilles ont pris leur propres formes avec un style Mexicain, en quelque sorte. Pour plus d’informations cliquez ici. Pour d’autres bijoux, cliquez ici.

New Fall Turquoise Pendant Necklace

I am a big fan of Turquoise; I especially love the Chinese Turquoise because of the wonderful colorings; it's very earthy and often has beautiful browns in the mixture, which I love.

Gentle Waves Washing on the Shore Pendant
New design added to my Shop - I designed this pendant with the idea of capturing the gentle waves of the sea slowly washing up on the shore. The pendant is completely handmade by me from fine silver (pure silver). The bail is handcrafted from sterling silver. The overall piece has been purposely tarnished slightly as to give it an ethnic, organic feel. Pendant comes with a lovely, black leather, slip knot necklace that will fit most sizes. Wonderful unisex necklace! See more information here.

Recycled Beach Glass Sun Catcher Wind Chime
This is one of my latest sun catchers / wind chime made with beautiful, genuine beach glass pieces that we picked from the shores of the Chaleur Bay, New Brunswick, Canada.
Each piece of sea glass has been worked as a piece of stained glass (Tiffany method). I used pieces of recycled copper to add fun whimsical designs between the glass. The gem-like, multi-colored strands dangle from a very unique, green glass triangle that I made from a recycled wine bottle.
This piece is very unique and is a one of a kind creation. What a wonderful gift for anyone who loves sea glass and the beach. See more of my creations here.

Unisex Spinner Ring in Copper Brass and Silver
I wanted to make a few spinner rings out of recycled copper and sterling silver and I ended up going crazy and thought of adding brass as well. I really like the combination of those three metals together.
I had my husband "Moe" model the ring for me and it looks really good on him. I think I'll be making him one as a gift.
Spinner rings are great! They have lots of movement and style for both women and men. What a great piece of jewelry to own! Perfect gift for that special someone in your life. Get a custom made ring made today. See my Etsy shoppe here. See more information on this beautiful spinner ring here.

Unisex Antiqued Personalized Tribal Beach Stone Necklace
This pendant was made from a beautiful beach stone that my husband and I found while taking a walk along the Chaleur Bay, here in beautiful Eastern Canada.
We tumbled the stone in our rock polisher and it turned it beautifully! The photograph does not do this stone justice; it's a beautiful green with light hues of peridot to almost yellowish green within the stone, which gives it lots of depth. To make this pendant, I used the Tiffany method with eco-friendly tin that I antiqued. To make it a bit different, I decided to add a small sterling silver tag to monogram with the letter of your choice.
To keep the tribal feel of this pendant, I added a black leather / suede cord that ties at the back. Read more about this necklace here. See more of my creations here.

This is one of my latest rings! I learned the art of soldering a while back, but never really put it to use. I finally got everything set up and this is one of my first soldered ring projects. The scrolls are made of .925 sterling silver soldered on copper. I antiqued the ring and I must say that I really like the finished product and I'm sure you will to.

Boho Hippie Tribal Dot Textured Copper Ball chain Necklace 18 inches
My jewelry designs are usually a bit heavier and so I decided to start focusing on smaller pieces that are more delicate and dainty for my customers who prefer the smaller pieces.
This cute little pendant is made of recycled copper which I formed and textured, then I made small little balls from a fine silver wire and welded them to the copper. I really like how it turned out!! The bead chain compliments this perfectly! See it here. I also made the matching earrings. See them here.
Note on Fine Silver: Fine silver is 99.9 pure silver. The difference with sterling is that sterling silver is .925, which means it's an alloy (with copper- that's the reason sterling tends to oxidize quickly). Fine Silver keeps it's beautiful sheen and hardly oxidizes at all.

Unisex Copper Cow Spot Wide Band Thumb Ring
This wide copper band or thumb ring fits just beautifully! To make this ring, I took copper that I have forged and I treated it in such a way as to add these funky spots in a contrasting metal and thus the "cow spots" were born. Another feature of the band is that it is slightly offset while overlapping itself, which gives the impression of two bands in one. Each ring is different and unique in that it's completely handmade (from cutting out the metal to polishing the end product)!!
The best thing about this awesome wide ring is that it can worn by either women or men. Ring is available in all sizes.
I made a matching leather wrap bracelet that is pretty nifty too. I'm always excited when I can come up with something unique!!!! See it here.
I am quite diversified in my creations, you might want to see what I mean by browsing my shoppe here. I have all kinds of goodies!!

Cow Spots Unisex Black Leather Wrap Bracelet Adjustable
I designed a series of different copper and silver jewelry pieces which you can see here. The ring is quite unique! This bracelet is very original, one of a kind (ooak), unisex Leather Wrap Bracelet with gorgeous, forged copper. I treated the copper in such a way as to make these crazy spots in a contrasting metal, which I call "Cow Spots" because the pattern actually reminds me of the spots on a cow.
The best thing about this bracelet is that it's adjustable with slip knots (no need to look for your size because it's a one size fits all). Note that I still added a nice sterling silver clasp to make it easier to remove and put on. It's best to adjust the slip knots before you attach the clasp.
All of the components on this bracelet other than the copper, are made of .925 sterling silver. All of the components are completely handmade for the exception of the clasp and the leather (of course).
I polished the copper, so it looks pretty shiny just now, but in no time, it will gradually change and take on a beautiful, rustic look. If you prefer to keep it shiny. I can lacquer the copper for an extra fee. See this beautiful bracelet in my Shoppe here.
