Replying to @medusamedia_ I almost didn’t attempt this request thinking that it would be too difficult to squeeze that much detail into a pendant. But I just had to prove that voice in my head that it was wrong! Thanks for the challenge. 🥰🐴🌵 I used noreena jasper & garnet wrapped in oxidized copper wire for this piece. It will be part of this week’s shop update. I hope you like it as much as I do! • • • #whoshorseisthat #cowboy #western #horse #desertjewelry #cacti #wirewrappedjewelry #jewelrymaking #artprocess #wirewrapping

I’m getting ready to revisit my desert themed designs, so I’ve been going back through my camera roll for inspiration! This video is over 2 years old now, & is still one of my most viewed videos. (It’s so old in fact that I added my own poorly placed captions that can’t be removed even though they are no longer needed with the automatically generated captions of today!) 🤣 I’m excited to get to revisit this design & some of my other favorites for the first time all year!🌵🏜️ Let me know which designs you’re hoping to see! • • • #desertjewelry #handmadejewelry #sunpendant #celestialjewelry #wirewrap #wirewrapping #jewelrymaking #artprocess
I finally made another death head moth! I knew I couldn’t move on from the insect theme without revisiting this design. This will be one of a few moth pendants availble in this week’s shop update! • • • #deathheadmoth #deathsheadmoth #deathheadhawkmoth #citrine #skull #wirewrap #wirewrappedjewelry #handmadejewelry #jewelrymaking #wirewrapping #wireweaving #moth
Replying to @☆*:.。.OliveOil.。.:*☆ Here’s a process video of the lizard design! 🦎 Thank you so much for this request! It was a very fun challenge. This week will be my last desert themed shop update for a while, so I’m trying to squeeze in as many desert wildlife pendants as possible! I may even make a second lizard pendant this week if there seems to be a demand. Let me know what other designs your hoping to see before I move on to a different theme! 💕 • • • #wirewrap #wirewrapping #wireweaving #jewelrymaking #handmadejewelry #lizard #reptiles #fossilizedcoral #desertwildlife #desertjewelry #artprocess
Replying to @Indie I was so excited to try this design request! I’ve never made a hawk pendant before, so it definitely took me a few tries to land on a shape that I liked. I’m glad I didn’t give up because this is definitely a new favorite for me! What do you think? 👀 This piece will be in tomorrow’s desert themed shop update! 🏜️ • • • #wirewrap #wirewrappedjewelry #handmadejewelry #desertjewelry #cacti #cactus #hawk #desertwildlife #jasper #polychromejasper #garnet #wirewrappedcrystals #jewelrymaking #artprocess
I’m not sure how I went so long without making one of my nearest & dearest designs! 😪 She has been missed! I’m currently revisiting some of my celestial designs, so I absolutely HAD to bring this back. 🌙🌞 This sun & moon design was born over 7 years ago now when I really began experimenting with my own style of wire wrapping & pushing the boundaries of what I thought I was capable of pulling off. I’ve made videos of this design before where I wrapped them in copper wire. One thing about copper is it oxidizes very easily, so I typically choose to oxidize it myself using liver of sulphur so that the appearance of the metal is consistent with how it will look long term! For this design in particular, the oxidation process tends to incite outrage because people love the shiny pink metal. 😅 There are protective coatings you can apply to natural copper to prevent it from oxidizing, but they tend to slowly rub off with wear. The best long term solution is to upgrade to rose gold filled wire which is what I chose to do for this piece! It comes with a slightly higher price tag, but that beautiful pink color is there to stay. ✨This pendant found a home in my last shop update. Let me know if you want to see more of this design in the near future! • • • #jewelrymaking #handmadejewelry #sunandmoon #celestialjewelry #rosegoldjewelry
