25 Days of Jewelry-Day 3

Monday's designer is Art Made by Tammy, again how nice am I to supply you with a link?
Today we are looking at these teeny eeny tiny painted pendants. Look, just click on the link okay? I just looked at the measurements of these things.

Measures 1 1/2" by 2 1/4" by 3/16"

Holy shit are you kidding me!!!? She must be a Pixie or something. I like to imagine that she's using an itty bitty easel and a mouse's tail as a paintbrush...poor mouse. As well as being schweet ass pendants I bet they'd make really neato Christmas tree ornaments, which of course you'd have to have like hundreds of to decorate a tree with but it'd be the coolest tree ever! Although I'm thinking that if you ordered hundreds of these it'd either float her boat or she'd come after me with some needle nosed pliers for even suggesting such a thing so maybe you should check first. Either way, they're only $19 so you could get a few and decorate like a midget tree or a houseplant.











About our Artist: Ms Tammy likes to bird watch and flick white chocolate chips across park benches at total strangers.

25 Days of Jewelry-Day 2

So today's jewelry review goes to bDazzlingCreations and you can go check out her Etsy shop with the link that I just so conveinantly provided you with.
Today we are looking at her Flutter By Bracelet which I dig the shit out of. I love Amazonite and I think that's a Flourite Butterfly but SHE DIDN'T SAY so I'm going to draw my own conclusions! This is a very nice, "I'm going off to the office in a sweater and jeans cause it's casual day." bracelet. And it's only $26, so move on it ya tightwads!















And now, a little about the designer. Our gal enjoys guzzling coffee and builds fully functional cup castles out of empty Starbucks coffee cups. Her favourite colour is Peuce and when she's not working on jewelry she can be found in the park entertaining children with her sock monkey puppet show.

25 Days of Jewelry-Day 1

So in an effort to promote goodwill and retail sales of my own jewelry and that of friends and whomever else, I have taken it upon myself to give my personal review of 25 different pieces of jewelry and their creator. And yes including my own! It is my blog after all, get your own damn blog if you think it's unfair.

And to demonstrate just how far my favouritism runs...I'll start with one of my own pieces!



The Curly Q Cuff
Every model citizen needs at least one cool ass cuff bracelet and here is my contribution to society. Heavy gauge Sterling Silver, hammered until my ears rang then curled at the ends. Yes it's that simple, course no where in here does it say that I very nearly broke my pliers getting the damn thing curled or that I spent two hours sanding, filing, polishing, buffing and THEN it went into the tumbler for eight hours! No where does it say that anywhere does it?
Well it does now.
Comes in three different sizes with three different prices...it's only fair.
Sm/Petite Wrist $94; Med/Average Wrist $104; Lg/Large Wrist $114
