Featured Artist: bra-Zing!

Good Morning.

The Handmade Artists blog ring has ended for now.  Today I would like to introduce you to a new artist, Bethan Davies of The CraftStar also owns, operates and creates the The bra-Zing.


Alix, what the heck is a Bra-Zing?  It is a neat things ladies, they put the fun in functional.

What Bethan says about these cute, functional and fashionable accessories.

It's a bra-volution! Welcome to the braZing! Sassy or classy in seconds. All bra wearing women know that the most comfiest of our bras, are our most worn out. With too many wash cycles under their straps, the whites are grey, the blacks are faded .... but hey! - they're our most comfortable bra and like a favorite teddy bear, we don't want to say goodbye. Now you don't have to! The bra-Zing will re-vitalize your bra into colors, patters, designs, you had never imagined possible! Seeing a girl wear a pretty tank top with straggly bra straps showing is not appealing. What IS appealing, and "peel" is key here .. is bra strap covers that match every outfit you have, with a 20 second change-up. All you do is peel away the adhesive covering on the back of your bra-Zing and press it to your existing bra strap. Bingo. And ... bras are EXPENSIVE. The bra-Zings are NOT. You can get 3 "new bras" for the price of one regular one. How's that for a bra-volution? Made in Los Angeles, and worn around the world ... it's always summer somewhere, right? We have created different sizes: lengths and widths to fit ANY bra wearing woman.

Let's have a peek at what it is and what they look like.


The bra-Zing! Orange Dragonflies 16"

Orange with turquoise and cream dragonflies on a cream backing.

The total width of this bra-Zing is 5/8" wide.

This listing is for a pair of 16" bra-Zings.
How To Find the Right bra-Zing For Your Shape and Style
We all come in different shapes and sizes ... and so do The bra-Zings.
We have created a selection of braZings that will fit any bra wearing woman!
You can choose from 14", 16" and 20" braZings.  The 14" are great for regular tank tops and dresses.  The 16" are perfect for lower cut clothing and the 20" suits razor back designs.
We have also made the collection in different widths ... while any braZing will fit any bra, you can choose from skinny versions (for the slight figure), medium (for average size), and wide (for the fuller figure and nursing bras.)
Skinny:  5/8",
Medium: 3/4", 7/8"
Wide: 1", 1 1/2"
The braZings couldn't be easier to use!  They literally take 5 seconds to adhere to your existing bra strap.  We have found them easier to put on when the bra is off.  You simply remove the adhesive cover paper, and press the braZing to the bra strap.  Hold it in place for a few seconds, along the length of the braZing, to make sure it adequately sticks.
The braZings are also reusable!  You can wear them several (many) times on the same bra, or if you want to transfer to another, just use another piece of our adhesive and repeat the process.
We have tested the durability and adhesiveness of The braZings through and through.  We've carried heavy bags over our shoulders, we've worn them 2 weeks in a row, we've slept in them ... and The braZing stays in place throughout it all.
As you would with any fine lingerie, The braZings should be handwashed, and can be used over and over.
They are SO user friendly!   In fact, they couldn't be any easier to use!  The bra-Zings are so supple and the strip adherent so strong, people won't know the bra-Zing isn't your actual bra strap!  They sit that well.
Join the bra-volution and love your braZings!

This one is very pretty and would be wonderful for a fancy dress.

The bra-Zing! Burgundy Organza Rosette 16"

Burgundy organza rosette on a burgundy backing.

The total width of this bra-Zing is 1 1/2" wide.

This listing is for a pair of 16" bra-Zings.

Fall Fashion 2014

Good Morning,

Autumn is right around the corner and this morning we take a brief look at what's new for the Fall Fashion season.

Color:  Color is important, even if it's a soft neutral beige, colors can change your mood, brighten a room, or make one feel  empowered or energized.

This years colors are deep rich jewel tones in greens, blues and purples.  Radiant Orchid was Pantone's color of the year, for Fall they have accented and matched it with more earthy tones.














This Fall's doos are all about the braid.   There are some very neat ways to braid your hair, and lots and lots of how to's on line.

























Accessories are a great way to add that fashionable pop of color if you don't want to commit to a loud jacket or bright dress.

(Bags by- Valentino Garavani)














This seasons jewelry has finally gotten rid of those horrible and tacky "Statement" Necklaces and have returned to a more functional and fashion friendly frill.  Currently trending are Gold and Black pieces, Icon or Charm jewelry, Chainmaille bracelets, and Chandelier style earrings that include natural elements such as wood, Druzy gems and raw crystals.



Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Alternatives To The Big Orange E

Good Morning,

The blog ring this round is featuring The Alchemists Vessel, so I thought it would be fun to offer alternatives to shopping at the Big Orange E (etsy).

If you are looking for unique gifts, handmade or eclectic items that cannot be found in a store  you might want to try 

The CraftStar

When you first arrive you will be greeted by a cover page, you can scroll down and check out unique shops, videos, and more.  There is no account necessary, you may sign up for the newsletter, read their blog or simply do a little Windows shopping.  You may also find The Alchemists Vessel shop there as well.


Handmade Artists

If you prefer an intimate shopping experience, try Handmade Artists.  Just as the title implies, this site is dedicated to all things handmade, art, painting, woodworking, glass-work and of course jewelry.   You may also find The Alchemists Vessel shop on site.



If you would like to shop without clicking through, signing up or in and being taken to another window, we have a neat trick.  From the blog click the tab "Shop Square Market" and you will find a shop right here on the blog.  Pick an item and use the Shopping Basket icon to check out. One stop, shopping is done.

So you're addicted to Etsy?  We're going to help with an intervention.  The sites above are easily navigated, friendly, intimate and offer genuine handmade items from the hands of the Shop owner.  Surf through the sea of garbage from China on Etsy, you won't find the personal touch that is so important when shopping for a gift that The CraftStar or Handmade Artists  can offer you.  Many of these shops offer custom design and will work with you to make you the perfect piece.  Why go for the same old boring Department Store shelves when you can be the envy of the party with handmade items that please the eye, delight the heart and amaze the brain.

Chainmaille Ring Tutorial

Good Morning,

Tuesdays are usually put aside for Five Gift Ideas from around the web.  I thought I'd change things up a bit today with a short and simple Chainmaille Ring Tutorial.

Materials listed are for the ring below.  Questions and comments are always welcome.

This makes a European 4-in-1 length of chain with "Speed Maille" instructions for 2-in-1 weaving.

Materials:

This super simple ring can be made in a variety of metals.
The tutorial project uses Sterling Silver plated over brass jump rings.
Materials make an average US size 7-1/2 to 8  ring.
AR = 2.94
66 + 1 Sterling Silver plated 18g (1.02mm) 3mm (ID) Jump rings
Open 23 jump rings Close 44 jump rings

 
 1. Place four closed rings on one open ring and close the ring.  
(Here you see two rings added, add two more for a total of four closed rings.)









2. Flip the rings so they lay flat on your work surface.  Like this. 







3. Place two closed rings on one open ring.  (See picture 1)


4.  Slide the open ring down (into) the ring on the bottom, and up (through) the ring on the top.  Close the ring.  

NOTE: It may be easier to weave the open ring through the unit and then add the two closed rings to the open ring, and then close the ring.

Repeat steps three (3) and four (4) until your ring is the required length.  About 2-1/2" long.




Closing the ring:

Slide one open ring down into the bottom ring and up through the top ring.  Form the ring shape around a finger or mandrel so you can hold it steady and bring the opposite side up and around to meet the jump ring.  Slide the jump ring up through the ring on the left and down through the ring on the right.  Close the ring.





Your ring is complete and ready to wear.  



 There is no beginning or end, the circle is continuous.  Amaze your friends with this fun puzzle.  





Makes a very pretty decoration.  Perfect for those that like the look of maille, but do not want to wear a large piece.


Project Note:  For a larger ring continue to follow steps three and four until the desired size is reached.  Check size by measuring around the finger it is to fit, or the correct size on a ring mandrel.  Close the ring as described in the final step of the project.


Material and Project Notes:

AR stands for Aspect Ratio.  This is the number of rings that may fit comfortably or leave enough "wiggle room" when added to another ring.

Wire Gauge:  18g or 1.02mm thick wire.

ID: Interior Diameter - The jump rings were wound on a 3mm mandrel.  The outer diameter of each jump ring is about 6mm. 

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Azure For Sure Sterling Silver Enameled Stone Snake Ring


Throughout the ages Snakes have been a staple symbol of jewelry, design and decor, temple motifs and literature.  Many cultures believe that snakes are  symbolic of protection from harm, or used as an icon of power and leadership, as seen in the Ancient Egyptian crowns and tomb treasures of the Pharaohs.

U.S. Size 9.  This stunning and simple, interesting and unique ring is one of a kind.  Hand forged from a single length of stock, it has been twisted and formed by hand. The head was hammered and is set with a gorgeous deep blue (Lapis) enameled "stone".  Scales have been stamped into the shank and may appear as tool marks, but are part of the design.

Arrives boxed ready for gift giving.

*This ring IS NOT customizable.

Please see our selection of Ready-to-Wear items in the shop or contact us about that special piece just for you.
