The center of this bracelet is a large smokey quartz stone, accented by two tiny tourmaline beads. Freshwater pearls adorn each side of the stone. <br /><br />This bracelet was handmade using sterling silver wire to form the rectangular centerpeice. The beads are all wire wrapped using sterling silver wire. I then linked the centerpiece to a sterling silver bracelet with a heart toggle. <br /><br />Currently not for sale.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33996147-116276209800702329?l=amyjdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Jazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08647303351271364757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33996147.post-1159335895779123472006-09-26T22:42:00.000-07:002006-09-26T22:44:55.786-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/1600/IMG_2213.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/320/IMG_2213.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I recently bought a vintage book of nursery rhymes for children, and found that there are a TON of random nursery rhymes that make no sense! I started the Random Nursery Rhyme Collection of bottlecap pendants to celebrate these nonsensical rhymes.<br /><br />This particular pendant is the Peter the Eggbeater rhyme, and it goes like this:<br /><br />"'Now for a brisk, a jolly time!' Said Eggbeater queer and droll; Then he whirled his wheel around, as he stepped into the bowl. 'They're a crafty set,' quoth he, as he beat the eggs to foam. 'Oh! These eggs will be a sight when I leave the bowl for home.' He whipped and whipped and beat and stirred, until the eggs could hardly stand; Their cries and moans they say were heard, throughout the town, throughout the land."<br /><br />Wow- and to think- someone actually got paid to write that.<br /><br />OOAK original mini collage using vintage image from a nursery rhyme book. Collage is forever encased in a glass-like coat of resin for years of enjoyment. Pewter star charm can be added to the bottom of this unique pendant for no additional charge (see pic #3). Just put it in the message section when you purchase. The back of the bottle cap is gold. Necklace comes strung on a stainless steel ball chain (not shown) in the length of your choosing. Please specify what length you would like in the message section when purchasing. If no length is specified, a 16" chain will be included.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=498548">CLICK HERE TO BUY</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33996147-115933589577912347?l=amyjdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Jazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08647303351271364757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33996147.post-1158166938898605482006-09-13T10:00:00.000-07:002006-09-13T10:02:18.906-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/1600/IMG_2106.0.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/320/IMG_2106.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Just Listed!

I love one of a kind art peices as jewelry, so I thought- why not a magnet, or a bookmark, or a....?<br /><br />Posted here is a sample of my foray into the world of collage.

So naturally, I chopped them up, added some glitter, and made pendants out of them!<br /><br />Check out the new Tarot Collection at Amy J Designs. There's only Strength and The Star to start with, but more tarots are on their way!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33996147-115773707169140576?l=amyjdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Jazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08647303351271364757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33996147.post-1157614480159710892006-09-07T00:30:00.000-07:002006-09-07T09:57:40.426-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/1600/IMG_1991.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/400/IMG_1991.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/1600/IMG_1980_1.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6227/3739/1600/IMG_1987_1.jpg"></a><br />I love one-of-a-kind wearable art, and my new designs are shifting towards this trend!
