EtsyMetal Project Runway Challenges!!!

Australia Necklace

This is a necklace that I made for the EtsyMetal Project Runway Challenge for Season 6 Episode 10, "Pick a Place!". It is inspired by Australia, with the modern aesthetic of so many designers there, as well as my deep love for the very odd plants in all shapes and sizes. The empty spaces in the large links represent silhouettes of seed pods and fruits from the rainforest.

Moonstone Charm Necklace

I created this necklace as part of the EtsyMetal Project Runway challenges. This one is for the Season 6, episode 11 challenge "Create a Companion Look". While the companion was not for one of the challenges, this goes perfectly with the necklace I made for my friend, Saskia Moes.

Amethyst Petal Earrings

These earrings were a commission for a friend, and they definitely take me away from my normal style. I had a lot of fun making these because I had to alter the settings for the stones, which is always good practice. The stones are 5mm square Amethyst, and the earrings hang about 2" down from the ear. They are very light and fun!

New project in the works...

This is for the next EtsyMetal Project Runway Jewelry Challenge...you can read more about it here.

Process shots

I've been working on some earrings for a friend's sister in law, and they're turning out really well. I'm using 5 mm square Amethyst for the stones, and apparently it's next to impossible to find bezel settings for them, so I had to modify some settings by cutting out the backs and fitting the stones in. My fingers are sore from all the small detailed work but it's good practice.

Wheels For Henry

I am currently participating in a Benefit Bazaar from October 18-31. 20% of all sales until October 31 will go to Wheels For Henry. Please read more about it on the website, and check out the other vendors as well. All proceeds go to a great cause!
