Fall Is In The Air

Today the weather cooled off and reminded me that autumn is definitely here.  To mark the season change I've come up with a series of new pieces in my etsy shops.  Most have some kind of browns and feature some of my new designs which I'm really excited about.  Here are some pictures:

I'd love to see what autumn has inspired for you...

Hand Carved Animal Tiles

Several years ago I carved a series of tiles that featured animals.  I recently found the mold of them, so I decided to make a few to list on etsy.  Here are two examples that I glazed with a really cool matte glaze (when it pools it gets glossy).  Check them out.

I have a friend who loves roosters.  I decided to carve this so I could make a magnet set for her birthday.   Adding the loops to this tile allows it to be a pendant.  It is glazed on all sides.

My daughter loves elephants, so of course I had to do one of these.  I like how these creatures extend slightly into the frames.  I also like how the glaze accentuates the piece without overwhelming it. 

How do you come up with the textures and patterns in your jewelry?

Happy Creating!
