Silver Custom Bracelet

I have just discovered a wonderful jewellery artist, Naked Jewelry, on Etsy.  Here is a link to her shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5584912

I have a very tiny wrist, so I have always had a hard time finding bracelets that fit me but were still suitable for an adult.  As I move into mid-life, I am even less interested in wearing children’s jewellery.  I sent out an Alchemy request on Etsy.com for someone to make me a silver bracelet I would actually like, and I really hit the jackpot with Naked Jewelry!

The bracelet needed to be only 7″ in diameter.  I asked for it to be both patterned and highly polished.  Naked Jewelry made me this lovely bracelet that is patterned to resemble polished silver birch bark – beautiful!

I highly recommend this artist for her friendliness, helpfulness, and the very high quality of both materials and workmanship – not to mention her very reasonable prices!  I feel like I’ve been given a precious gift in commissioning this piece of jewellery, and I will treasure it!

Grey Kittens

I’m currently working on a special order for 6 mini felt cats, made to resemble someone’s actual beloved cat.  :-)  

So far, I’ve managed to adapt the pattern, create needed new pieces, cut the felt, and assemble the rest of the materials.  This might not seem like a huge accomplishment, but with my severe disability this is an almost herculean event.  I’m taking a break to rest my aching hands, then I’ll spend the next few days manufacturing the little kitties. 

If you would like me to consider adapting one of my current patterns to more closely resemble your pet, send me a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

If you are reading this, please leave a comment indicating where in the world you are, so I’ll have a sense of who is out there!  I’m very new to blogging, and I would love to hear from somebody out there!
