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!

There is something beautiful about hand making a gift for someone special!

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.

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.
