Heart Jewellery


 As it's nearly Mothering Sunday thought I would do some heart shaped jewellery.  The one above is a copper pendant with a sterling silver heart set at an angle and finished with a sterling silver bail.


 For more of a spring/summer feel these are glass hearts on pink thong with silver colour beads and finished with a toggle fastener.


More copper and sterling silver hearts -





These aren't loaded on to my web site yet but they are on the MorningStarCraft  facebook page.

Hand Engraved Personalised Tall Glasses

 


















I thought I would show these as I'm not as often asked to engrave tall glasses as I am wine glasses, pint glasses, whiskey glasses, chalices etc  These were for a Christmas present to be sent directly to the customers parents, she requested a greenman with Dad on one and dragonflies personalised with Mam on the other.

Green Wire Hand Crochet 'Mermaid' Bracelet


I thought I'd name this Mermaid Bracelet as it reminds of the beach and sea and looks like something a mermaid might wear;0)  I did crochet it on a Cornish beach as well so that probably has something to do with my thought process as well, I finished it off here at home though by putting on the copper hook fastenings and making the copper rings for the extender chain and the spiral which finishes off the end.  It is made of green wire with a wave sea edge at the top and small gold/copper, green, rusty red beads.  It is approx one and a half inches long and six inches long plus chain.

Sun and Moon Smoking Incense Bottle


         


I love the shape of these bottles.  I've hand engraved a big swirly sun on this one and a waxing moon and some stars sprinkled about.  Will look effective I think with smoke swirling around inside.

Shaggy Loop Necklace

           





This necklace is made up of rings joined one to the other and give a lovely flowing movement when worn.  On some of the rings I have put on beads in sort of peacock colours to give it a bit more colour, and I have finished it with an easy to use toggle clasp with spirals on.  I did have a bracelet that made to go with this Shaggy Loop Necklace but it's already been taken.  I might do some earrings in a similar style as I think they would swing and move very well.

Goddess Flower Vase


A while ago I was asked if I had any vases with symbols of the Goddess or Pentacles on which I hadn't, but not wishing to disappoint, I engraved some and gave the person who had asked the choice of which she would like.  She only wanted a small vase so that she could put seasonal foliage, flowers or herbs in on her altar, leaving the cauldron free for other use.  Thinking that this was a lovely idea I have this one ready to go, a Goddess figure with an arm full of flowers and a spiral on her stomach (the second spiral you can see in the photo is actually on the bottom of the vase, my mark).  The vase is approx 5 inches high, maybe ideal for Imbolc do you think?
