2 Liter Shamrocks


This is my latest shamrock creation...I cut shamrocks from a green 2 liter soda bottle then threaded them onto a bracelet! I could make matching earrings too!

Shamrock Bracelet...



Another St. Patrick's day item! I made this item using a milk carton and a clothes detergent bottle! Everything is cut with scissors by hand and connected with jump rings!

shamrocks...



One of my lovely customers requested a pair of shamrock earrings made from a Mtn Dew can...I'm sure glad she did! Before this past weekend I never visited the 'shamrock' shape (not sure why!). I must say I'm having lots of fun with it and I'm coming up with lots of funky things! Ps: my mom's maiden name is O'brien!

Brand New Design!


I'm so excited about these guitar earrings! I've been wanting to make them for a long time and I was finally able to do it yesterday (the first pair is mine!)! I'm really happy with the end result, still tweaking it. I added some texture to the body of the guitar and formed the neck. This would be a fun pendant too! I can make them from any kind of beer or soda can...Look out for the strat earrings next!

winter doldrums...


How do I make the most of the winter doldrums? ...Well I start by making a big list after Christmas of things I would really like to accomplish by spring time. Here is this year's winter to-do list:

Taxes(done!)
Change etsy avatar (done!)
Get to 100 items in my etsy shop (20 more to go!)
Book art shows and festivals
Work on new designs/increase inventory
Contact Breweries (to make beer can jewelry)
Mail eco jewelry to some celebrities (it can't hurt, right?!)

Now that it's out in the open I will definitely get everything accomplished!!
