etsy shop update!

ok, i forgot to make a post when i opened the shop but i've finally added the rest of the items!  i've been working on some more candy coloured pyrite abominations that you'll be able to see in September so stay tuned.  :)

check it out!  woobeans.etsy.com

experiment

next to an unhealthy obsession with pyrite is my love for turquoise and gold together.  

 

here's an start to an idea for some new pieces.  the execution worked well but i'm not happy with the shape, the way it hangs, and how it looks around my neck.  but it's a start.  

the nerds in the vicinity requested a dopamine molecule.  it's not a very pleasing one (visually) and might be difficult to pull off but i think i'll give it a try. 

jewelry teaser

been working on some necklace designs today. 

i picked through a box of embroidery threads at Ruby Dog's Art House and pulled out all the cool colours.  also found two arm charms.  arms!!  they'll have to hold something, that's for sure.  

some triangles

two things from the internet i saw.

all for the mountain solo triangle necklace ($130)

mociun triangle ring ($210)

found objects

i am so proud of the stick i found while running in the woods yesterday!  so i haven't made much progress in terms of making more jewelry but i've hung them all up now.  plus you can see the new chunk of pyrite i acquired from a vintage etsy seller that came from the basement of an old gemologist.  it came with its own little egg cup!

pyrite and gold

unemployment.  i am making some necklaces to sell at a craft fair at the end of May, and also to put on my future etsy shop.

right now it's mostly a manifestation of my obsession with pyrite but i'll be expanding into other gems and rocks once i figure out how (i.e. avoiding wire wrapping at all costs!).  so i'm currently focused on pyrite, gold, and brass coloured things.  did i mention i've also been working on a drawing of pyrite?  i think i have a problem.

dores

excited about the dores handmade etsy shop update on monday.  

you've probably seen me wearing this necklace, it's become one of my staples!  i've also been wearing one of her bracelets for a few months now.  i'll be sad when it breaks off like a friendship bracelet.  i should've made a wish when i put it on.  i love the antique warmth of brass. 

i ordered some faceted pyrite beads and i'm going to make some necklaces.  maybe i'll even sell a few.  i'm obsessed with pyrite these days. 

batman

i'm totally drawn to geometric shapes these days. i love these embroidered necklaces by spinthread on etsy, especially this one called batman:

 

and check out this girl's hair.  forget what i said yesterday about wanting straight hair again.  i want this!! 

i also like these cubes: 

spinthread

neck-o-liss

Couple weeks ago Jocelyn and i made some felted ball necklaces. I think mine turned out okay .. for someone who has never made a necklace in their life. I'm going to try making more though .. i like rolling balls and stringing them together ..... heehee. balls.

gold

i would like to have each of these.

 

lots of cute pieces made from found vintage things at verabel on etsy.
