stunt_muppet at 09:36pm on 14/01/2007 under jewelryAlmost every shot I took of my jewelry came out blurry or otherwise wierd, so I decided I'd put them up here rather than subject DA to them. XD
Ahem. Here's a few samples of my work. It's mostly necklaces, but there are a few bracelets in there, and I included the three pairs of earrings I like the best.
I'd like your honest opinion. If I put up an online shop selling stuff like this (not exactly like this, because every piece would be unique), so you think anyone would be interested in buying? Comments are much appreciated here.
The first one:
I made this one as a Christmas gift for eyesmadeofjade. Except for the small silver ones, all the beads are glass. I'm rather fond of this one - it's sort of funky and offbeat, at least I thought so.
This was the first necklace I ever made, and it's still one of my favorites. I wear it all the time. It's made of hematite and silvertone beads, and I think it looks sort of vaguely art-deco. I made a matching set of earrings, but tragically I haven't been able to find the same silvertone beads, so I haven't been able to make the complete suite.
This one was another present, a birthday present for my roommate. The heart-shaped charm has her name on it, but you can't really see it, so I didn't blur it out. I love making two-stranded necklaces like these; I've made quite a few for my mom that I didn't have the chance to photograph.
The Deco necklace may be my favorite, but this is the one I'm most proud of. It looks *way* better worn than it does lying flat. The large beads are mah-jong tiles with two holes drilled in them. I didn't drill the holes myself; they were that way when I bought them. I really love the color scheme on this one.
I think this one kind of speaks for itself. XD I was going for a "water" theme.
And then there's this. :D This is the metalhead necklace, made from black onyx chips and bone beads carved into skull shapes. I made one of these for Pixxi and Cain. Pixxi seemed to love it; I haven't given Cain his yet.
Four of my bracelets. These are all elastic; I also make wire and thread bracelets with clasps. The one on top is my favorite; it's built on a "beach" theme.
And these are my three favorite earrings. Candy-canes for Christmas, leaves for autumn, and hematite to match my necklace.
What do you think? Which ones are your favorites? Any suggestions? Think I should go for it?

Once I get a few extra pieces made, I'll probably set up the store. I'll be sure to provide the link here.
