I have been creating something a tiny bit unique.
Arte Nouveau Meets the Beach
My New Jewelry Collection.
First viewing today. ....
Overall opinion: You will either "get it" ...or you won't.
A bit off-center, slightly off-kilter,
crazy, gaudy and perhaps a touch gothic or medievel.
Love 'em or leave 'em Designs.
(Ha) You know what I mean.
I designed each piece.
Most of them have a slight hint of the Sea
with a piece of Sea Glass, a starfish, sand dollar
or other beachy trinket.....
I will have them on Etsy (SeaDebris marketplace) PRONTO....

| Bronze, silver & gold melded with natural starfish on a neck cuff. |
 |
| "At 20, flirty & coquettery." and "At 40, an outcast." |
 |
| Aqua blue and purples on gold metal lace w/ clay leaves. |
 |
| Another view of the aqua & purple. Oh la la. |
 |
| For a Mermaid's neck. Pearls, Starfish, Oyster & Seashells, |
And, last here is my first piece of the collection to sell.....
A 3 piece set of silver with sea-foam green seaglass.
The neck cuff, earrings & bracelet were some of my favorites.
Apparently, someone else loved it too.
3 piece set. Earrings, neck cuff & bracelet.
 |
| P.S. Forgive the creepy model's old neck. |
You may have seen my previous neck cuff attempt with the finds
from the bargain bag of lost & broken jewelry
from the Desert Treasures thrift store....
Once I made one, I got inspired, I guess.
I also received a gift from a friend -
An assortment of collectable buttons of the past.
many of these buttons make a statement just as they are.
Added to my designs, they are incredible.
So once again, I share with you my funky inspirations!
For the slightly gothic red & black corner of my head...
My daughter painted these back a few years ago
with that sometimes dark teenage passion.
(I still love 'em, Bethany!)

wilderness
of your intuition.
What you’ll discover
will be wonderful.

you’ll discover
is yourself.”

Hi back Lisa!
I am with you on those reflections in the glass... I think it reflects a parallel universe or something.
One day, I will have to do a blog posting on Bethany's artwork. Some of it is pretty incredible.
I am always impressed with how many views you get on your Etsy Treasury lists... I don't know how to get more linked into that.... (Maybe because I am cheap & don't $$$ for their extra advertising)I have never messed with those. Do you? And, is it worth it?
Naomi - Your neck cuffs are a true smorgasbord of simply fabulous treasures well put together and beautifully designed. Your apple didn't fall far from the tree as your daughter's work is astonishing too.
