Lately I've been working on new winter/Christmas items to offer in my shop. While not covered in jingle bells and glitter, and not all of them scream "Christmas!", I thought that these creations could be used for anytime during those chilly months of the year.
I've recently learned how to make wire wrapped rings. It is a really enjoyable pastime! I made this one with the thought of snow in my head. Silver and white always look so nice together. Clean and simple. They also make me think of Christmas and winter just because they are two of the signature colors of the season. I can make them in all sizes. Just visit my
shop and send me a message requesting the size of your choice and I will make a reserved listing for you!
I've also made a small batch of these polymer clay hot chocolate earrings. Nothing says Christmas like peppermint hot chocolate right? I carefully sculpted everything about these. I made the mugs and candy canes. I hand detailed the "whipped cream" and filled the mug with "hot chocolate". I made them in green to make them a little more "Christmasy".
Well if you aren't a hot chocolate person and crave a little more caffeine than it has to offer, then maybe these will be better suited to fit you. I know they aren't totally a Christmas item, but I know plenty of people that need that hot cup of coffee to brave those cold winter days so I thought they would still be appropriate. Each bean stud earring in this batch has been given a little bit of texture and a quick buffing. They aren't super shiny (I didn't want them to be) but I noticed that real coffee beans do have just a little bit of a shine. I decided to sand them for just a couple of minutes with 320 grit sandpaper and give them a quick buff on denim. I'm pleased with the outcome.
Like I said, I've just learned how to make wire wrapped rings, so here is yet another one of my first creations. I like this one for how cozy it looks, hence the reason I'm letting it pass for a winter item. I'm very in to brown jewelry so I thought I'd make some myself. I love how imprecise the wire wraps are on this one. It gave it a very bohemian look that I am totally pleased with. A perfect accessory for a cozy winter sweater or a pea coat.
Any of these items would make great gifts as well and you can find them all
here. These are not all of the Christmas/winter items I will be offering, they are just the first ones done. Also, read the image below for my Black Friday special! Thanks for reading!
I've been hard at it the past couple of days, making new items all while getting ready for the holidays. It has been a whirlwind! I've finally got it all under control (I think). I had planned to post these sooner but between getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping, time has slipped through my fingers. Hopefully I will be able to manage my time a little better now that I've gotten most of my holiday preparations taken care of. Remember, I'm offering a Black Friday special, good through Cyber Monday. Use coupon code BF2013 for free domestic shipping on orders of $15.00 or more. Thanks for reading!
