...And Just Like That, They Were Gone!

Yesterday I was struck with an idea for gear bangle bracelets, and quickly grabbed what I needed and headed to my work bench. I wanted to create bangles that had some of the steampunk elements, but were more delicate.  A little while later,  I emerged with these: 

 Wear them individually, loose, or.....

........together as one wide bracelet.

So, where can you find these new bracelets? Well, you'll have to wait at least until this weekend before I can list any in my shops. The first set sold withing hours of making them and posting pictures on facebook and instagram.  When they are listed, they will sell for $16 each or $45 for a set of 3.  The bracelets are brass, copper, antique silver, and gold-copper-sterling silver plated pewter.

In the meantime, 3 new Unisex Steampunk Cuffs have been listed in the shops, and more hair clips should be finished and listed very soon. :)

Gears, Clocks and Gemstones

Inspiration has hit and I've been very busy working on new pieces. Here are two mixed metal/gemstone pieces I finished recently:

Brass, ink, sterling silver, aragonite and blue sky quartz

 

 

Sterling silver, antique silver, labradorite and onyx

 

Here are a few of the gear/steampunk pieces I recently finished. I've been working on adding more layers, and tried a few hair clips to see how well they go over.

Cuff - Antique silver, copper, brass, sterling silver

Hair clip - Antique silver, brass copper

Hair clip - antique silver, brass and copper

Cuff - antique silver, brass, copper, sterling silver

 

New Items - Inks and Steampunk

I had a very productive weekend last weekend, and made several new pieces, both with inks and gears.  The new pieces will be listed in both shops this weekend and early this week, so keep and eye out for them.  Here are some pics of the new pieces:

The Black Woods Footage, Steampunk and Shop Updates

I'm very excited to announce that 9th Gate Film Productions has released the trailer for The Black Woods Footage.  The film is about ---  "A group of high school friends that get back together to go on a camping/hiking trip, they stumble upon a few strange things.  Soon they get the feeling that they are not alone in the dark woods of the Appalachian Mountains.  This is the footage that was found." ---   The film stars: Andrea Marie, Daniel Mascarello, Matt Flenner, Cindy Ching and Tara Ferrero.  The movie also features Lance Nowell, Hillary Styer, Gus Zucco, Frederick Cowie, Dylan Hintz, and Cameron Tyler.   You can view the trailer by visiting The Black Woods Footage facebook page.

  The movie also features music by Wings that Buzz and LoveHateThing.  Here's a little taste of both bands. Enjoy!





Also, take a minute and check out the recent steampunk photoshoot  that Andrea Marie did with  Maze Photography. If look closely, you'll see she's wearing some Zen Creations Jewelry! You can view the photoshoot pics here. Thanks again Andrea!!
