Pele is the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire and her name (and fearsome reputation) popped into my head while I was making these. They are substantial and stunning...some of my best work both jewelry wise and photography wise. Put them in the shop today after some internal debate. Carnelian is one of my favorite stones. I don't see many other designers using it often, so I do. It's warm and comes in so many shades. The translucence of it is magical.
Lately I've been devoting my time to producing work for sale in a spa that's opening soon. It's tough to know what will sell ahead of time in this market, so I'm making a variety of things (many photos posted to my portfolio here). This means my online shops have been quiet and nothing new has hit them for a while. If business takes off, I'll know better where to spend my time, but for now it's tough filling all the mouths. Here's some shots of some new things for the spa - I just love my little hang tags and stuff. I'm using 26ga brass wire to hold them onto the bracelets and stuff. Kind of funny and I don't know that I'll continue, but I was at a loss the other day and duh - I'm the Wire Smith for heaven's sake. Anyway...I'm off to my mom's. She's helping me make a bracelet display for the spa.
Those are amazingly beautiful. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks girl. I'm inordinately proud of these.
