Good Morning,
In the hustle and bustle of opening the shop I have been remiss in getting the blog out there. This week I will be playing catch up, expect two features and perhaps a random something or other as well.
Today we jump right back into the gifts for giving suggestions. We have some old favorites and a new shop or two. I am excited to showcase these wonderful items today. Somewhere along the way I have lost count, I beleive Number 24 is correct.

I also enjoy promoting someone that does good works out in the world and I am most pleased to feature these gorgeous Handmade Earrings with benefits.
From: Butterfly Sundries
What makes you think of hope, strength, beauty and the ability to
overcome difficult circumstances? For me, the images which come to mind
are of lotus flowers.
These beautiful earrings were inspired by
those women who have the courage to, despite difficult circumstance,
look within themselves to find their own strength and beauty... who
discover their ability to embrace their power to stand up for their
hopes, even in the ugliest of situations.
This is a Butterfly
Sundries original design, straight out of my own sketchbook; you won't
find this earring set elsewhere! They were designed to match the lotus
pendant, seen in the last picture of this listing (not included in this
listing; you must purchase it separately)!
Made from 22g copper
wire, all the petals on these earrings have been made with a single
piece of wire. A wire connection is then made to allow for the "water"
(glass bead) droplet to hang below the wire lotus. You get to choose the
color of the drop! Hung from handmade 22g copper earring wires, all the
connections are handmade.
Copper does, of course, over time
develop an attractive patina. This is part of the beauty of the
material. Expect the beautiful patina to develop over time.
The earrings measure at about 1.5 inches, from the base of the earring hook; their width is about 1 inch.
From beginning to end, these earrings are handmade with love... with all the attention you deserve!
*Please
note* Because these earrings are completely handmade, and made to
order, please expect slight variations. The earrings you see pictured
above are one sample of the design. The earrings you receive, while the
same design, may differ slightly in the leaf shape.
This item comes with a FREE white gift box, for your gift-giving pleasure!
This
item gives more! Because this item was inspired by YWCA of Kitsap
County, one of my former Featured Charities, a portion of the proceeds
still goes to support that program IN ADDITION TO the 10% which goes to
the current Featured Charity. Wow; what an opportunity to support two
charities with your purchase!
*Pre-fabricated niobium ear wires
are also available for those with metal allergies. If you would like
this modification (please be aware the ear wires will not exactly match
the color of the copper) please add the niobium ear wires to your order;
they are listed in the "Customization" section of my shop found here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ButterflySundries?section_id=13414025.
*Wish
you could order this item in gold or silver? You can! I love this
design and would be happy to discuss a custom order for you! Just send
me a message with your preferred metal, we can work out the details, and
I'll be happy to create a custom listing for you. :)
If you like these earrings, you might also love the matching pendant/necklace! You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/121256742/ooak-handmade-copper-wire-lotus-pendant
From: I Paint It Pretty
This is a set of two 16 ounce margarita glasses. The stem of each
glass is a bright green cactus. Each glass has been hand painted with
three bright flowers in red, yellow, and pink. The flowers have little
dashes of accent color. Green leaves with a touch of shimmer make these
glasses sparkle. These would be a fun and unique housewarming or shower
gift. Or have a little fun and treat yourself. Remember, it's 5:00
somewhere.
These glasses were painted with non-toxic acrylic
enamel so they are perfectly safe to use. I heat set the paint so it is
quite durable. The manufacturer of the paint states 'top rack dishwasher
safe', I would highly suggest gentle hand wash, just as you would any
other special piece you may have.
Great effort has gone into
accurately describing and photographing products, but please note color
representation alters depending on individual screen settings.
Packaged with lots of care and love and will ship 1-2 days after payment is received.
Thanks for taking a look. Check back as I add items as I complete them.

Good Morning,
Where does your inspiration come from? Many people refer to a "Muse" or other sprite of thought for the idea that begins to spark in the mind and finally catches, turning in to a bright and shining beacon of a completed what have you. Yea inspiration.
Mine comes from all over the place and no piece shows that more concisely than Kahleesi. Inspired by museums, and ancient archeological finds, reminiscent of coins, and the lands of Geeks, Romans and Egyptians come to mind (for me) when looking at the piece.
The name for the piece is also inspired. I racked my brain for quite a some time trying to come up with something that I thought fit the feel and was appropriate for necklace. Things like "Cleopatra" and "Aphrodite", have been done and sometimes much to often. Why not bring the piece into the modern world. But it is not modern my brain whined! It is, I argued back with myself. This went on for a while.
I stared at this for what seemed like an eternity, and then just by chance or out of boredom, I looked over to my bookcase and there in big bold black letters what did I read? A Game of Thrones. Hey now! The hamster got back on the wheel and we ran the poor thing ragged pouring through the book for names.
"What's in a name"... (Shut up, Shakespeare!)
I was unaware that the books by George R.R. Martin had become such a popular HBO Series, and has an avid following of fans. Now we're getting somewhere. I have a source, a good reason, now I need an appropriate name... and how come everything is spelled weird! After a bit of page flipping and description reading I settled upon the character's name of "Kahleesi" (at least I can spell it).
Created using Jeweler's Bronze (aka "Merlin's Gold"), Copper and genuine Turquoise beads. The disks (coins) have been cut from sheet metal, jump rings and head pins are hand crafted using 20 and 18 gauge wire. Genuine Turquoise beads in two sizes accent the antiqued bronze chain, the disks have been antiqued for a consistent design.
High Fashion or Fantasy. This would be great for SCA events, Belly Dancers, Costuming, Cos-Play Cons, Steampunk Fashionistas, Boho Chic, Office attire or Date Night. Light weight and fun to wear. Appropriate for any Queen Across the Sea or closer to your own Realm of home.
Available at handmadeartists.com, matching earrings are included.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
**This piece is not affiliated with the HBO Series in any way.
Good Morning,
I won't start off with a lot of verbiage, instead let's get to those gift ideas.

Tribal Copper Necklace- Copper bowl with hand painted bead
This necklace was hand
made out of a copper sheet. The disc was created and then was then domed
to give it a slight curvature. The piece was given a patina to darken
its appearance and a tan, gold and brown painted bead sits upon it. I
hand riveted a spot where a natural brass chain and toggle are attached
to the pendant.
The disc is approximately 1.5 inches in
diameter. The total chain lenght is approximately 19.5 inches. If you
would like to change the length of the necklace, please message me! This
piece has been sealed with a lacquer and wax to protect the finish.
Please read all shop policies before purchasing!

Here's a Gift and A Shop with a cause. I didn't set out to promote that, but it is for those less fortunate and in need. In support of the Spokane Humane Society
From: Butterfly Sundries
Do you love cats? How
about butterflies? Now it's possible to have both, without worrying
about the cat trying to catch the butterfly!
This is the first "Fur Babies" hair barrette, created specifically to support the Spokane Humane Society.
It
was cut from 20g yellow brass sheet metal, filed, and cleaned. Then an
ooak design was drawn by hand onto the surface before it was placed in
the etching solution. Cleaned, painstakingly hammered into shape and
work hardened by hand, it was then drilled and riveted onto a
pre-fabricated 50mm french barrette mount (nickle plated and lead-free).
Antiqued and polished, this hair clip has a rustic charm which will
bring you joy for years to come!
Brass does, of course, over time
develop an attractive patina. This is part of the beauty of the
material. The surface does have a thin protective layer of wax to
protect it, but expect the beautiful patina to develop gradually.
From beginning to end, this item is handmade with love... with all the attention you deserve!
This
item comes with a FREE white gift box, for your gift-giving pleasure,
and is shipped via Priority mail with insurance and delivery
confirmation.
As always, 10% of the profits from the sale of this item go to support my Featured Charity!
A
little information about the organization which inspired this design:
By mandate of the Spokane Humane Society’s board of directors in January
2006, the SHS stopped euthanizing animals due to lack of space. Limited
resources and available kennels made it impossible to continue to
accept unlimited animals and made it necessary to work with their
community partners in animal control and breed specific rescue evolving
to their current day “Reservation required” shelter.This change
initially reduced the number of animals they served each year but
increased the number of animals being permanently placed into loving
homes and improved placement rate from 52% to 79% from 2006 to 2007. As a
part of this policy change, strays are referred to their appropriate
animal control facility and are being transferred back based upon the
needs of the animals/partner agencies and their space available. In
2012, they had a placement rate of 97%.
The 20g yellow brass plate is just shy of 2.5 long and a little more than 1 inch wide.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
