From: Charmed Karma Jewelry

Tiny Labradorite Bracelet, Brown Leather Bracelet, Stacking bracelet

Description: Tiny Labradorite Bracelet, Brown Leather Bracelet, Stacking bracelet

Adjustable,unique, and delicate this bracelet would look great as a stacking bracelet for a bohemian look, yet bold enough to stand alone! I love the way the focal hangs on the wrist. The leather used is extremely durable and is the SOFTEST leather I have ever used in my jewelry!

Details:

☮7” hand knotted premium natural leather bracelet featuring one delicate focal AAA smooth Labradorite heart briolette. I condition my leather prior to me making the jewelry pieces this aides in protecting the leather and sustaining the life of it as well.

☮ The AAA Labradorite focal measures approx 8-9mm and is saturated with green, gold, and blue flash. The focal has been maticulously oxidized, buffed, and polished for detail. I then seal the finish with Renaissance Wax to protect the oxidization and detail process.

☮ The closure of the bracelet has been wire wrapped, finished with a sterling silver lobster class clasp, and a Charmed Karma tag.

Inspiration, Where To FInd It

Good Morning,

I am once again out of artists to feature, so instead I thought it might be fun to share a game that has been going around on Facebook, as well as being helpful to get those creative juices flowing.

Social Media is a wonderful way to share your artwork, whether it be painting, sculpting, knitting, jewelry or what have you.  It is also wonderful for introducing to yourself to things, people or places you may never have thought of venturing to or meeting.

The Facebook game consisted of liking a post by a friend who had posted a photo of an artist's work, in turn that friend would give you an artist (name) to go discover and then you would post a photo of that artist's work, when people liked the photo you shared you then gave them an artist to go discover.  The idea was to fill Facebook with art, and for the most part it worked.

The best part for me was not only discovering new artists, but finding something about the piece that drew me to it, and with that, allowing my own creativity to play off what intrigued me about the piece.

I would encourage you to cruise the web, do a little search for whatever interests you that day, seek and find out what it is that speaks to you.

Some suggestions for discovery:

Jeff Koons - He makes enormous Balloon Animals from of Stainless Steel.





Or maybe Christian Schloe



Whatever or whoever inspires you is not important, as long as you enjoy your journey and the process of creating, you're doing it right.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

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

Hairstyles for 2014

Good Morning,

Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at one of our more chameleon-like accessories, our hair.

I have worn my hair in the same style since about 1985, after it finally grew out from a dye / perm job that went horrible awry.  I have it trimmed to keep it tidy, but I am not one for hair cuts.

Besides our clothes and outfits, and finding that perfect bracelet or cute pair of earrings that we just love that goes well with out wardrobe, our coif is just about the most important accessory we have.

This years styles for both young ladies and women over 40 is the cropped Bob.

Medium length and a bit shaggy with bangs

Or a sleek and sophisticated A-Symmetrical frame about the face, as worn by Kira Knightly.


And ladies, please do not do this.  You are not a rooster, this is just atrocious, and looks like you've been attacked by an angry horde of Flow-Bees.  Just no.


How to tame those tresses and keep the stray strands out of your face this season? Hair Bands (or "Hair Jewelry") is all the rage, as well big bows are back in, and you can never go wrong with a pretty scarf tied up in those love locks.

 Kat Denning in "Hair Jewelry" Headband

 
 Up Do Bun and Scarf

We hope you have found this brief look into 2014 hairstyles informative.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Midas Touch

Good Morning,

You have heard the story of King Midas, the unfortunate man that could turn everything he touched in to gold, including his food, his clothes, his daughter.  That's right, anything he touched instantly became gold.

Here at The Alchemists Vessel we aren't blessed with such a curse, but as our namesakes once attempted, we like to turn things in to gold, or perhaps more appropriately turn gold into things.

Monday we had a brief showcase of some of the new materials now available through the shop.  Anxious and excited to try the wire and rings out, I sat down for a bit of weaving, and I must admit the fun of playing with new items had me a bit distracted.


A small sampling of yesterday's play.  

Due to skipping from one weave to the next, I neglected to notice and correct a couple of migrating rings here and there and will of course take the time to fix the errant part before continuing with the piece.

5.0mm 18g 14kt Gold Plated Rings - European 4-in-1 pattern


8mm 18g Gold over 6mm 18g Silver - Dragonscale Pattern

Look at the ones available and see which one calls out to you. Each necklace available has its own unique variations of accents that I have added, which I will detail below. 

 

From: Stripped Soap Company

Buttercream Frosting Lip Balm - Homemade Lip Balm - Beeswax Lip Balm - Coconut Oil Lip Balm - Lip Butter - Lip Balm Tube - Avocado Oil

This listing is for one (1) single twist-up tube of Buttercream Frosting Lip Balm - Homemade Lip Balm - Beeswax Lip Balm - Coconut Oil Lip Balm - Lip Butter - Lip Balm Tube - Avocado Oil. The net weight of each lip balm is 0.25 ounces.

+ Does cold weather have your lips feeling down or are they generally in need of some extra love? Either way, you'll love this Buttercream Frosting Lip Balm - Homemade Lip Balm - Beeswax Lip Balm - Coconut Oil Lip Balm - Lip Butter - Lip Balm Tube - Avocado Oil!

+ You can pamper yourself or even someone else. These nourishing lip balms would make an awesome gift!

+ No color has been added.

+ They're flavored with decadent Buttercream. The flavoring oil used is unsweetened, so this lip balm unfortunately won't taste exactly like a cupcake. It's subtle, leaving just enough flavor to leave you craving one (or many). Might I add that it also smells edible, but is not. Don't eat the lip balm!

+ They are not vegan as they do contain beeswax. Other than that, they contain nothing except lip-loving oils!

+ All of my lip balms are handmade in small quality-controlled batches.

What's New in The Studio - Wire / Jump Ring Selections

Good Morning, 

This weekend I spent time with the supply catalogs and would like to share some of the new materials that will be available for custom work and favorite designs.

Silver, Sterling Silver and Copper are my preferred metals of choice, but gold is requested more often than not.  We have added several sizes of manufactured rings and new wires to our inventory.

Gold (14K) Jump Rings

Now available in several sizes, these pretty rings will be used in a variety of items, including but not limited to our Chainmaille Selection of jewelry.  Look for new items soon, or ask us about a custom design order made especially for you.





Aluminum Rings:


These lovely rings also come in a variety of sizes and have been purchased specifically for Dragonscale Maille pattern bracelets.  Currently available in three colors Red, Black and Gold (Yellow), we will be adding more colors to our selection soon.  Shown here in Red.

 

Stainless Steel Rings:

We have also added Stainless Steel to our selection of wire / jump rings.  Silver in color, stainless steel is great for those that may have metal sensitivities or want a piece that can stand up to heavier wear and tear than the precious metals.  They also make great masculine designs.


A word about Gold:

Gold: All gold jewelry is plated, usually over copper or brass.  Gold is too soft to use for much of anything unless it is mixed or layered over another base metal.  "Rose Gold" is a blend of Gold and Copper, adding the copper creates that pretty red tone in the gold.  Most Gold jewelry is plated at 18K or 14K.  This means that the piece of jewelry is 75 to 58.5% Gold and 25 to 41.5% base metal.  Our jump rings are listed as 14K over brass.  Our gold wire is filled over brass.

Filled vs. Plated:  What does this mean?

Filled wire in gold or silver is simply a denser plate of gold over the base metal.  Plated wire is usually about .15mm of precious metal over a base metal wire (like a sheath),  Filled is usually .25mm of precious metal over a base metal core.
(Picture taken from the internet).

Thank you for stopping by and having a look.  We hope you will stop by again and see what we have made with these new supply items.

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