Happy NEW YEAR!!

Hope everyone had a great holiday & is looking forward to the new year! Thank you for all of your support and orders through the holidays! It was a crazy marathon at times, but fun! I don't like being bored!

I've already started one of my resolutions...new designs & experimenting with new techniques with wire! I love working with long sleek strands and sculpting with wire, but want to focus on some new techniques to keep me challenged! I have been on a quest to create mens wire wrapped jewelry & I think I've come up with a nice unisex design....gave one to my other half for Christmas & he loved it--that's a good sign (he's pretty picky :)!! I have listed this lapis lazuli pendant in our store. I have work to do to get a nice selection of this design up and available!

My Chakra pendants have inspired this design! This is a unisex style, perfect for a man or a lady. It is a hefty piece that I think balances the intricacy of the coiled wire with a clean line setting! The back is nice and clean too, almost looks woven together!

Indulge! Wire Wrapped Swarovski Ornaments!

I indulged this holiday! I wrapped 63mm Swarovski Crystal spears in copper and sterling silver to create the most amazing Christmas ornaments you'll ever see!! The sparkle is stunning. Unfortunately I did not receive the spears in time to list them in our store for the holiday.... though they don't have to be just for Christmas... hmmmm... they would be pretty in a window (hence Sculpted Windows Jewelry). If you're interested let me know...it'll be a bit before they're in the store.

This little moose ornament is one of my polymer clay creations from 13 years ago!! He's always been one of my favorites...I made them for everyone that year... wonder if they still have them in their collection. Gosh time flies!

A Beautiful Handcrafted Christmas Charm Bracelet!!!

OH MY GOSH!!! I went to the mailbox the other day and found a mystery box address to me & inside was this awesome Christmas charm bracelet from Dee at Dingles by Diana! WHAT A SURPRISE! I have only had the pleasure of computer corres- pondence with Dee, so I was touched to receive such a beautiful a Chrsitmas gift from a fellow ebayer & jewelry designer! I can appreciate all of the work and time that goes into intricate pieces such as this!!

This bracelet is loaded with festive charms from snowmen to runner-sleds, jingle bells, angels, christmas trees, sparkly beads, baubles, and a little charm that says 'Hand made with Love!' It matches gold and silver and everything in between! I LOVE IT & I received several compliments when I wore it the other day! The jingles it makes when worn are perfect for the holiday. If you love charm bracelets contact Dingles by Diana at deecook630 @ aol.com!

Below the bracelet is a photo of one of Dee's originals--little sunshine people! These little guys have been crafted by Dee with SWJ polymer clay faces, wire scrolls, colorful beads, and cute little rhinestones & adornments! These little sunshine people make adorable pendants (sorry, my pendant photo won't upload)!

I have been so fortunate to have met some of the nicest people on ebay and online! Thank you Dee for this surprise gift and for sharing your artwork with me! You are a master at combining little bits & pieces to create something beautiful!
