Orion Nebula Galaxy Scarf


This silk charmuse scarf features a photograph of the Orion Nebula. This scarf is a large square and measures 36 inches by 36 inches. The charmuse fabric drapes very nicely. This scarf is perfect for cool fall days and is versatile enough to be worn every day, or to a special event like a wedding.

I am absolutely in love with this scarf. I wore it all throughout my vacation through Spain and it was a great accessory to keep the sun off in the day and to huddle underneath during the cool nights.

Libra

 I love the stories and myths that correspond to the constellations in the sky.  Ben wrote a mini story to go along with each of the zodiac necklaces and I'll be posting them on a monthly basis with the current zodiac sign.


Libra

What better place to hang the scales of justice than in the sky, visible to all, but out of reach to those who would seek to ‘fix’ them? Leave such things to the “minor” goddesses who concern themselves with balance, with goodness and right.


The Libra Constellation Necklace was first drawn with pencil and paper and then carved out of wax and cast into sterling silver and brass.  Both necklaces are available in the shop.  

In astrology Libras are born between September 22 and October 23 and are said to prioritize balance and enjoy partnerships. The Libra constellation forms the image of a scale.

Virgo

 I love the stories and myths that correspond to the constellations in the sky.  Ben wrote a mini story to go along with each of the zodiac necklaces and I'll be posting them on a monthly basis with the current zodiac sign.




 Virgo

Astraea is somewhat unusual in her family, pure and just, while most others are famously driven by desire, careless, even cruel. The eternal maiden earned her pedestal in the sky out of love for one who could watch over all while looking down on none.

The Virgo Constellation Necklace was first drawn with pencil and paper and then carved out of wax and cast into sterling silver and brass.  Both necklaces are available in the shop.  

In astrology Virgos are born between August 22 and September 22 and are said to have great attention for detail and introverted. The Virgo constellation forms the image of a maiden.

Honey Comb in the Shop

The first two pieces from the honey comb collection are now in the shop.

Golden Honey Comb Ring


Honey Comb Charm Necklace


The Honey Comb Collection was inspired by a friend who started keeping bees. She wanted a gold toned bracelet to wear to her brother's wedding and after some brainstorming I came up with using a honey comb pattern to form the bracelet. We both loved the idea and after receiving actual honey bee comb from my friend I began to experiment. I used a combination of the actual honey comb and casting wax to form the pieces in this collection.

These pieces were cast in brass but are also available in silver.

Leo


I love the stories and myths that correspond to the constellations in the sky.  Ben wrote a mini story to go along with each of the zodiac necklaces and I'll be posting them on a monthly basis with the current zodiac sign. 

Leo

Once the beast was more well-known than his conqueror - a terror to the countryside, strong and fierce, invulnerable to weapons. The hero found his weakness, however, denying him breath, and wore his great hide thereafter on many famous adventures. The gods reward strength, and now Leo resides in space, air no longer an issue.



The Leo Constellation Necklace was first drawn with pencil and paper and then carved out of wax and cast into sterling silver and brass.  Both necklaces are available in the shop.  

In astrology Leos are born between July 22 and August 22 and are said to be ambitious and creative. The Leo constellation forms the image of a lion.

Two Magnolias Silk Chiffon Scarf



I designed my first textile for a silk chiffon scarf.  I was inspired by a trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and all the blooming magnolia trees.  I worked really hard on this design and I am really happy with how it came out.  The scarf is available in the shop.
