Dance with Silver

The Catch

2010-02-03T09:47:00.005-06:00

This necklace is inspired by the idea of double knot. The pure silver loop pendant and the silver beading chain are tied together like a double knot. I love the smooth and graceful curve of the beading chain. A freshwater teardrop pearl finishes the pendant.

It could be worn either side for different looks.

Or like this...

Frogie

Peas in a Pod - 999 Pure Silver Peapod Necklace with Pearls

2009-12-11T20:26:00.011-06:00

I have used Swarovski pearls and freshwater pearls in different colors to make these adorable peapods. It seems easy but it could be hard... Art Clay Silver shrinks about 10% after firing, which sometimes gives me difficult time finding the right pearls to fit in if I didn't make it large enough at the first place. I made some twin peas in a pod and some trio peas pod. Here are some of the twins... :)

Snowman again! My best seller for the season!

2009-12-11T11:06:00.005-06:00

This snowman has been a hit! I sold quite a few of them this winter. It may seem easy but it could be hard to make a nice and cute one. First, it's tiny, which makes it hard to manage when sculping and polishing. Secondly, it's hard to find the perfectly matched pearls. The freshwater pearls come in different sizes and shapes. I always have to match them one by one to find the perfect body for the head. But they all turned out cute! I wish I could make more but I am almost out of the pearls for the snowman body.
