$90

TIP: the glue on the rubber cord ends only lasts about a year, so drill a hole and put a rivet through the end clasps and the cord.
Sometimes taking the extra time to do things like this, makes all the difference.

matchbox shrines

These are my safe motoring shrines
featuring Saint Frances of Rome.
In 1925 Pope Pius XI proclaimed her the patron of drivers.
She could always see her guardian angel,
at night his halo would illuminate her way.

*these are not standard matchbox cars
they would not fit in the matchbox.
figures...

*buffing tip

Today I was at the buffer trying to buff these small items.
The familiar burning sensation came to my fingertips.
I was told if I buffed enough,
I'd burn out the nerve endings
and it wouldn't hurt so much.
bah.
If it's a pendant hook a paperclip on it.
That way you can hang onto the clip,
rather than the hot piece.

message in a bottle

This is what I think is the last of the Asian inspired series.
It all lead up to this.
Two pieces of silver connected by a copper rivet.
Top silver piece has been patterened using a rolling mill,
and it swivels.
2mm red coral, sterling silver and one copper rivet

mother of pearl earrings

I love taking found objects and setting them into jewelry.
The mother of pearl is from a vintage set of cufflinks.
I took the picture before adding the ball posts to the smallest hoop.
Once in awhile I get so intrigued by the object I've made
the function-jewelry part is secondary.
-this is one of those times.
