Back for the week

Despite a pretty severe back spasm and horrendous pains running down my sciatic nerves in both legs, I had a great weekend. (And thankfully they are mostly resolved now!)

We had a wonderful dinner and gift celebration, and my handmade gifts were well received! ^_^

I've been working on chainmaille , and created a necklace and bracelet set as a gift. The weave was European 4 in 1 boxchain and it was made out of bright aluminum rings. I forgot to take a picture... but it was very cool, and one of my favorite weaves so another may be coming along soon. It was quite substantial looking, while also being surprisingly lightweight. The chain diameter was about a quarter inch.

I'm currently working out the kinks of preproduction, but here is a sneak peek of what has gotten me so excited and inspired for one of my new collections called "Topsy-Turvy":
When you flip the image both names are still readable!!

This was a gift for my boyfriend's parents. Each received a framed image (maybe to keep at their office) and another larger framed image for displaying at home.

These new designs are lots of fun for me to create, and lots of fun to receive.

If you are interested in a discounted pre-order with for a personalized "Topsy-Turvy" feel free to contact me. I'll mostly be creating jewelry charms, with and without frames, but the images could be used for almost anything! These are perfect for bracelet inscriptions because the words are never upside down!

A few more collections are scheduled to be announced soon.
