The Writing and Art of Andrew Thornton: Thursday Giveaway...

The Writing and Art of Andrew Thornton: Thursday Giveaway...: "This week, one lucky winner will score this huge pile of Vintage Reproduction Glass Beads ! They come courtesy of the fine folks at Eclectic..."

Beware pic spam ;P

I was commisioned to make the jewelry for the bridal party in a wedding. I work hard on them, I actually made the pendents. I hope you like!

Need some advice & a new piece

I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a active forum for jewelry making, I really want to get out there in the community.

Also, I finished a pendant called "Dragons' Key", It's a antique key, featuring two dragons on either sides and other findings. Mats are brass and bronze. I lost the bail at the time I took the picture but now it is found and I need to complete the actual necklace. I decided to keep this piece and not sell it hehe.

I have exactly 1 key left with the dragons on it, so it is possible to make another. But only one more at this time.

Working hard...

I'm trying to stock up my inventory for my shop on Etsy now that I have some free time. I have to admit I'm pretty nervous though. I'm also, going to try to be more sociable in the jewelry making community. I'm still rather shy :(.

Ugh...

I'm sorry I haven't been  posting in a long (LONG) time. Life has just been throwing me off for awhile now and I haven't gotten into the groove of blogging yet. But while I may have been missing from the forums and my blog, I have still been hard at work :D.

I'm currently apprenticing under a master silver and goldsmith learning Lost-wax casting and other techniques. I've also been working on my beading and have some pictures to post soon.

Again, I apologize and hope some of you are still reading.

Love & peace

Fashion Show and other pictures

One of my teachers at the college asked me to participate and wear one of my pieces. You can imagine how excited I was until I found out I had to model it, grrrr. But I wanted to get my work out there so I sucked it up and got up on the runway.

I know not the best pic of either of us. I look like a total dork and the view of the necklace isnt the greatest. Hopefully in the week I'll have it professionally photographed.

Onto other work. I had some of my pieces photographed by my friends, whose website I will share.

Here is another picture I took this time.

I'm still not sure what to name the second necklace. I'd like it to be something "Victorian ..." But I have no clue the second part. Maybe some of you guys could help me out. I'd really appreciate it!

Love & peace,
