Sold a bracelet on etsy today...

Time to break out the champagne...!  Sold this steampunk bracelet on etsy today.  It has all kinds of goodies on it, and it's going to Dallas, TX.  I used to live there once upon a time, back in the 80s.  It was a good place to live, and I think of the Texans with great fondness! :)  And I love the enormous. mostly blue, Texas skies, although they could get pretty scary at times.  I've got pictures of tornado clouds, and the thunderstorms were horrendous.  They've got bigger bugs in TX than we do in FL, and hotter summers, if you can believe it.  For the record, didn't mind the heat...  :)  Anyway, keep on keeping on!

steampunk jewelry...

Found an old pocket watch and took out the gears inside. Then I did a collage paper/paint and put it inside with a reminder that "time flies, breathe deeply." I added some watch gear and charms for more interest, and a heavy chain. I've been on a kick to honor the woman within, so that's why there are so many women in my art right now. We've got to honor ourselves...

Sea Goddess bracelet...

I've been into charm bracelets lately, and how much fun they are! Seeing as I live in FL I like the cool, frothy sea colors that are around here. My wardrobe is full of sea colors, and also pinks, reds, and oranges. No subtle shades for me! :)

This is a star flying steampunk angel/fairy pendant on an metal oxidized chain. So much fun to make! The watch parts are from a big bag of vintage parts that I have. You'll see more of these in the future.

Steampunk bracelet...

Mata Hari's Secret is the name of my latest charm bracelet creation. A secret lover is sending her a message in the hidden locket, and the charms remind her of the all too brief times they spent together. Lots of charms, vintage beads, and Swarowski crystal for that element of bling. This bracelet is for sale on etsy, so if you get a hankering, visit my store! :)

Busy, busy, busy making Christmas presents for friends and customers. 'Tis the Season... Ho, ho, ho.
