a few images i took wearing my work to show scale and how it looks on the body…..i have uploaded these to my etsy listings. i think it’s important for customers who have not seen my work at shows to have a visual reference as to how it looks on. i have had this on my to-do list for quite some time and am happy that i have a jump start on it!
i love the idea of creating a necklace or ring using teeth or just one tooth from maybe a loved one like your witty and charming five year old, a found animal tooth, or from your special furry friend. i have been making jewelry out of found, random and peculiar things since i started making jewelry about 10 years ago. i don’t think teeth would be to much of a stretch. i have used dryer lint, animal fur, rubber grapes, construction paper, moss, antler, plastic from doll shoes, bouncy balls, melmac, just to name a few. i have some teeth of nemo’s that i have been finding about the house lately which has renewed my inspiration for teeth in jewelry.
any takers for a bizarre and sweetly sentimental piece of jewelry…. any brave and slightly twisted characters out there up for the challenge?? lemme know…..

thought i would introduce you to my studio mate, nemo. we like to call him neems, whammo, mr. moustache, meemo and no sir!!!! he is quite a little entertainer most of the time but when i’m in the studio working he likes to curl up right under my chair. when i roll around to switch from solder station to bench work he repositions….
i am in love with this vintage charm bracelet from classic style. i have never seen one so filled up with experiences and adventures. i fondly remember my great grandma wearing her collected charms on a similar bracelet. i have a soft spot for vintage charm bracelets. and vintage lockets. my aunt kathy always had on a locket and i loved nothing more than to sit on her lap and peek into her little locket. at a very young age i already had an affinity for tiny treasured space.
this stack of erasers tugged at my heart strings. when i was little i had an eraser collection. i also had an interest in taking plain jane erasers like these pictured and make “eraser dust” that i kept for special projects but mostly i loved having the eraser dust in a flip top container just because =)
found in retrology’s shop
i love these rubber and lace coasters by jansen & co……if i could just pick a color???
found on gretel
