Current Projects

I just finished up two custom orders. One was a wonderful butterfly cuff that has a steampunk look. It had a first for me. The embroidered section of the cuff is not a solid piece. It is two pieces that are bridged by a brass metal work butterfly. It actually looks really amazing with section of a copper blank behind it.

I also completed a custom plaid bracelet for a wonderful woman on Etsy. It is a variation of the bracelet with the colors of her family tartan. It actually turned out more amazing then I thought it would be. I am actually really happy about it.

Now I am working on another cuff. It has a large hematite cabochon in the center. It is fastened down with black hex delicas, then surrounded with light gun metal delicas. So at this point I thought it was going to take on a similar feel to the Metalicuff. But every other type of delica or bead seemed wrong. Then I found these round rough cut quartz crystal beads. Now the cuff has this crazy traditional victorian style feel. So I am going to go with it.

Iron Butterfly

First, yes I totally listen to them. I am a big fan of classic rock, hair band rock, heavy metal, and the always bad but fun fantasy rock.

Now on with the show. I finally finished the custom cuff for CyberCulinary. You can find her on Twitter and Etsy. I think she is working on a way to bring her love of cooking to Etsy. She tends to represent herself in Butterflies, because of the constant changing in their growth pattern. Knowing her it is extremely accurate. Every time I talk to her she has a new recipe or craft she wants to try. In that way we are very much the same.

So here are some really fuzzy images. I am going to take some really nice ones when I get back from my trip.
