I made these two pendants in December, but with all the work with craft fairs and also family matters, I sort of forgot about blogging. I apologize for that and promise to write more. I’ve got a lot of new jewellery to share, I just need to get around to taking the photos, etc. The first one is an agate slice, dyed black, which I thought would look cool with neutral grey beads. These are …
Remember my steampunk kittens that I used to make back in 2010 and 2011? They were very popular. Unfortunately I ran out of supplies (the watch part thingies) but still get asked about them every now and then. Well I may or may not have a huge mess in my supplies; good news is I found a few more pieces that I used to make the kittens of. I didn’t want to do the regular simple kind …
Hi everyone, I’m back home now and open for business. I’ve listed a lot of new heart pendants in my shop today. They’re all in the gothic section of my Etsy shop.
I had a problem categorizing this pendant. It’s slightly steampunkish but does not contain any watch parts, just wire, beads and a lot of chains. I settled for “industrial” in the end, as this term is somewhat wider than steampunk. It’s still in the Steampunk section of my shop, because Etsy doesn’t allow more categories than I already have.

The first one is one of the natural brown slices I brought over from Poland last year. I used malachite beads to compliment it. The other one is a dyed bead, and …
My favourite variety of jasper is “picasso jasper”, that earned its name due to picture-like markings. I swear sometimes the beads I get look like landscape or abstract paintings. And beautiful too. As you can see I’m still fond of the spiky and asymmetric style when it comes to semi-precious stone pendants. Green pendant with amazonite and mookaite beads; available in my Etsy shop Brown and green pendant with turquoise and fluorite; also available …
Some new steampunk pendants. Available in the steampunk section of my Etsy shop.
I’ve been working on this new kind of pendant, gothic style but without chains or other dangling bits. I used dichroic glass cabs as a base, I’ve got about a whole drawer of them in various colours. These pendants are quite big, but next time I will try to find out how small a cab can I use in such a creation. Available in the gothic / fantasy section of my shop.
Well, my trip took longer than I had expected, for which I apologize, but now I’m back and have over 70 (!) new pendants, which I will be listing in my Etsy shop shortly. Here’s some gothic hearts for a start; they’re available in the gothic & fantasy section of my shop.
