Spoons!

Asalaam alaikum!

Spoons!

 Spoons are awesome to work with, especially when they're already cut and drilled for you. ;)
Been working on some other pieces as well, including a computer chip from a modem Shez and I took apart the other weekend.. :)

All of these pieces and more are listed at my Etsy shop. There's even some destash beads listed with a coupon for 10% off! Check them out before they're gone! (Details are on my main Etsy page under the banner).
Ma'salaams!

Introducing... Vase clip-ons!

Asalaam alaikum! 
I've started something new. Again. :)  Have you ever had a vase or planter, or even a candle, that could use some sprucing up, but didn't want anything permanent? Well, here it is! These chains simply hook over the top of your vase, or anything with a thin lip for that matter, and instantly transform the container into something marvelous! And best of all, it can be moved to another container in a matter of seconds! Its extremely easy to do.. just place the hooks around the top of the vase, arrange so they're spread around the lip evenly (or not.. however you find it aesthetically pleasing), and viola! That's it! Super easy to do!

 

Put two together for added flair!

Or maybe enjoy it in silver!

I definitely plan on making more of these this week. The three above are listed on my Etsy site, so get them now before they're picked up!

And a few more necklaces...

That's it for now. Hope everyone on the east coast is keeping warm this week! Ma'salaams..

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone! I want to wish all of you a very happy, blessed, and successful year. Inshah'Allah we will all be able to make the most of this year.

Some new work again! This time I'm working on a series of necklaces, with inspiration taken from damask designs and floral motifs.

 All the designs are drawn and cut by hand out of metal sheet, then painted with enamels and inks. I then add bits of paper to each piece and finish it off with a couple layers of a laminate sealer. The larger chain links are hand-made, as is the neck wire in the last piece.
Inshah'Allah I have a few more pieces in the works. When I'm done with the series I will post them on Etsy for individual selling.
That's it for now. Happy 2014! :)

Ma'salaams
