Good Morning, Today's blog is brief, as we announce The Alchemists Vessel Spring Sale. Everything has got to go. Need room for new creations and inventory. Now through April 01, 2016, The CraftStar Shop Exclusive use coupon codeTAV30 at check out and receive a 30% discount off everything in the shop. That's every and any item in the shop 30% off.
Good Morning, Today's blog post is brief with a little bit of information. Customers, Shoppers, and Vendors, Etsy is at it once again, messing around with the shops. Shop owners are forced to re-design their shops according to Etsy's new design, which is awful, ugly and just plain terrible. I have tried to maintain the shop in as close to it's original form as I can. I hope this will not detour you from continuing to shop with us. Yes, it is frustrating, yes it time consuming for the vendor, to stop doing what is important like creating, marketing and handling customer service, to fiddle around with something that just isn't necessary. But as vendors we are held hostage and must do as etsy wants or be left without a shop. Changes will occur for all shops on April 05, 2016. I would like to thank my customers, shoppers and folks that just like to look for your support, without you this wouldn't be much fun. Thank you for stopping in and having a look. The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
Good Morning, Saint Patrick's Day is just a couple of days away, in celebration this weeks gift ideas are green, full of clovers, the gift of gab, and are just right for "Wearin' o' the Green". From: Unicorn's Garden Jewlery
Malachite: This copper ore features a characteristic banding
pattern of deep and pale green stripes or concentric circles. Because it
is formed in thin layers, large pieces are somewhat rare. Malachite
gets its name from the Greek word molokhe (mallow) because of the
resemblance of its color to that of the leaves of the mallow plant. Egyptians used malachite as early as 4000 B.C. for amulets, jewelry and cosmetics (powdered eye shadow).
For
this ring I hand braided the band from solid sterling silver wire then
soldered the band and securely soldered the sterling silver bezel cup to
the top of the band. After cleaning and polishing the ring I hand set
the 8mm x 10mm natural Malachite cabochon into the serrated edge bezel
cup.
Stone: Malachite Stone Size: 8 mm x 10mm Ring Size: 6.5 Band Width: 4mm (5/32")
This
ring design can be made in other sizes, with other stone types, or
with a different size stones. I can also make dangle earrings to match.
Please contact me with your request.
Green Solar Quartz, Quartz Pendant Necklace, Gemstone Jewelry, Stalactite Quartz Necklace
I
am obsessed with the intricacies of gemstones and how beautiful and
unique they can be. I fell in love with Solar Quartz when I first laid
eyes on it.
This high quality quartz pendant is a large teardrop
shape and hangs from a 28 inch gunmetal plated chain. The pendant focal
itself is just over an inch so the whole necklace would be 30 inches
in total. A perfect gift for yourself or a girlfriend that could use a
boost to enhance their crown chakra energy,crystal healing or are
experiencing some difficulties dealing with emotions for any reason.
Solar
Quartz is said to bring emotional strength and uplifting with great
power and energy. Solar Quartz also has all the properties of clear
quartz and is protective, purifying on spiritual, mental and physical
levels, used to communicate with spirits and more. Solar Quartz is
associated with the crown chakra, but also works well on all chakras
Stalactites
start from a single mineral laden drop of water formed by fast-flowing
water rich in calcium carbonate and carbon dioxide. This is a type of
formation that hangs from the ceiling of caves, hot springs, or man-made
structures such as bridges and mines Solar Quartz is a natural
agatized quartz stone that is cut from stalactites and is usually
white,grey or colourless. When cut you can see concentric circles in a
radiating pattern and the center may reveal druzy, small quartz crystals
or air-bubbles. Solar Quartz is often dyed vivid colours.

Good Morning, Today's blog shows you, in a pictorial tutorial how to create the Viper Basket Weave. Suitable for those just Beginning, or for more Advanced Maillers that would like to try something new.
I would like to state, that all though Maille was once used for armor, these items are meant for personal decoration only. It does not matter what material you make your items with, Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, Brass, Bronze or Aluminum (as below), it will not protect you from anything. Anything includes, but is in no way limited to: Bullets, Knives, Letter Openers, Slings, Rocks, Pens, Pencils, Harsh Words, or Cupid's Arrows (Regular Arrows, too!)
There are several sizes of rings that are acceptable to make this weave. Suggestions are given at the end of the tutorial.
These instructions will make the bracelet exactly as shown.
Materials and Tools: 2 Pairs of Flat Nose Pliers Simple Base Metal Toggle Clasp Total Number of Rings: 115 (for a 7.5" bracelet) Rings: 18g (swg) Bright and Anodized Aluminum (.04" or 1.2mm) Bright Aluminum: 35, 9/32" (7.1mm) AR 6.4 AA Pink: 34, 3/16" (4.8mm) AR 4.1 AA Green: 36, 3/16" (4.8mm) AR 4.1 Clasp: (total of 10 rings) 4 Bright Aluminum rings 3/16",and 6 Bright Aluminum rings 1/8".
Begin by closing all of the Green rings and opening all of the Pink rings, 3/16" (4.8mm).
1. Add 4 closed Green Rings to one open pink Ring. Close the Pink Ring. Add one more Pink Ring through all four (4) green rings.
2. Arrange the rings so the unit looks like this. You have a six ring unit of 2 x 2 chain. Also called Bike or Dragon Chain.
3. Continue to scoop up two closed rings (green) on one open ring
(pink) and weave them through the last set of rings (green) on the chain. Add a second pink ring, following the path of the first, to finish the link.
The chain should now look like this.
NOTE: Six sets of 2 (doubled rings) is 1" long.
4. Continue creating the 2 x 2 Chain until you have a 6.5" length of chain or 35 alternating sets of 2 (17 Pink and 18 Green).
5. Go back to the beginning of the chain. Open all of the Large Bright
Aluminum 9/32" (7.1mm) rings. Scrap wire shows the path the new ring
will follow.
6. Add the new ring, slide it up through the first Green set of rings.
Go over the second pair of pink rings, and down through the third pair of green rings. Close the ring.
The Chain will now look like this. The large ring goes through two sets of green rings, and encircles one set of pink rings.
NOTE: It is important not to flip or turn the chain over while adding the large Bright Aluminum Rings.
7.
Slide the next large ring up through the pink rings and over the green
rings and down through the next pair of pink rings. Make sure the new
rings, slides on top of the last ring just added.
8. Weave through the next Green ring (going over the top of the last ring just added). Skip the Pink ring and weave down through the next Green ring. Close the ring.
Here you can see the next two rings have been added, and the fourth ring is following the same path as the second silver ring.
Close the ring.
Shown from a different angle. Up through the pink ring and over the green rings and Down through the pink rings. Here you can see the correct way the new ring should lay on top of the one behind it. Continue weaving in this alternating pattern of Green rings and Pink rings until all 35 rings have been linked into place.
9. Weave
through the next pair of green rings, skipping the pink rings and
weaving down through the next set of green rings. Here you can begin to
see the stacking pattern of the large rings.
Close the ring.
As you continue to weave the pattern will emerge. The large rings will stack one on top of the other.
The rings will appear to jog from side to side and take on a woven look.
Kind of like a Picnic Basket. Finishing:
Once you reach the end of your bracelet, add the final large Bright Aluminum ring through the last pair of pink rings and let it fall into position.
Base metal Toggle Clasp with 4 Bright Aluminum Rings 3/16", 6 Bright Aluminum Rings in 1/8".
Return to the beginning of your chain.
Attach two of the Bright Aluminum 3/16" rings to the first set of rings (Green) of your chain. Slide the ring through the Green set and on top of the first Large Bright Aluminum ring. Turn your chain over and repeat on the opposite side.
Attach the Clasp to these things
using 1 Bright Aluminum ring 1/8", slide the ring through both 3/16"
rings just added, slide on the clasp and close the ring.
Attach the Bar using the last two 3/16" Bright Aluminum rings. Slide the rings through the last pair of Green rings on the chain., one on each side. Now add two Bright Aluminum rings to those rings. Add two more 1/8" Bright Aluminum rings
to the rings you just added. Use the final Bright Aluminum 1/8" ring
to attach the bar to the last set of doubled 1/8" rings. Close the
ring.
And you're done.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, and that you have learned a new weave to amaze your friends.
Please feel free to leave questions or comments. I like those.
If you would like to try this weave in a larger or smaller size, here are some suggested Jump Rings Sizes that will work for this weave too. Mine is a tight version, some are loose and floppy, choose the one that appeals to you. 18g (1.2mm), 19/64" (7.5mm ID), with 18g (1.2mm) 3/16" (4.8mm) ID.
18g (1.2mm) 5/16" (7.9mm) with 18g 3/16" (4.8mm).
Tiny Tiny Bracelet, may be too tight, or just a 1 x 1 chain instead of 2 x 2 - Jewelers Brass: 18g (1.2mm) 15/64" (6.0mm) AR: 5.2, with 18g 9/64" (3.6mm) AR: 3.1.
