Sculpy!

I've been getting mucky tonight making some heart beads out of sculpy, I'll try painting them tomorrow. Lots of fun. Then I got tired and silly and made a creepy finger wearing a ring. We'll see what that ends up like...heehee. Show you later. Also I've been checking out some of the one heart one world contest entries, so many gorgeous creations. I think I might join tomorrow, its a bit late but you are allowed to enter until Feb 8th I believe. Going to bed now, good night.

On Etsy

This bracelet isn't one of mine it was made by Moonstar512 she has an Etsy shop where you can see more of her work here: www.etsy.com/shop/Moonstar512 I love the rich green of those stones, simply beautiful. I really like her breast cancer bracelet too.

New on Etsy

Purple, green and gold earrings.



Matching purple green and gold bracelet.

I've just finished putting them in my shop on Etsy right here: www.etsy.com/shop/TriannasTreasures

The Blue bracelet

This is the bracelet I was talking about a couple of posts ago.



It was pretty dificult to photograph; I took about 60 pictures and only ended up with these three that got the colors nicely and weren't fuzzy.

As I was taking the photos I was thinking that I'd like to make another one in similar colors but in a simpler style. I love blues.

New background

I found this pretty background at hotbliggityblog, they have some very nice things there.

I've got the Blues but its not so bad.

I was at the local bead shop the other day and found a lovely assortment of blue glass beads, and replenished my silver findings. Then the next day at work someone requested that I pick up a going away gift for a coworker who is leaving us to move on to more hours and more pay elsewhere. So I decided to make her a bracelet instead; she loved it and recommended I contact a friend of hers who runs a beauty shop (called something like mud and honey I'll have to get the details from her) downtown and is looking for some jewelry makers to sell their creations in her space. The bracelet was silver and blue with a toggle clasp, I liked it so much I had to make another one nearly the same with a lobster claw clasp and extender instead so that it will fit a variety of wrists. I'll post some pictures when my camera battery is found and charged. Now we can both have the blues when she is gone.

Valentines and Feathers

I have been pretty busy lately upcycling old jewelry with new compoents to make some neat stuff. These are two of the Valentines Items I've made and will soon be posting to Etsy. I really love the way the one below turned out.


I finally listened to my cousins advice and bought some feathers to use in my jewelry designs. I chose some neutral colored feathers with a nice pattern. Here are a few of the results in the feather experiment. I rather like some of them, what do you think?



I love the contrast between the wild feathers and the conservative pearls.


So delicate and beautiful with blue glass beads.



More pearls with feathers; they are my favorite way to use the feathers so far.

I had fun trying to match up pairs of feathers to use for earrings.
