Showcase and Discussion of Jewelry Designs by the Alchemists Vessel.
A central place to find our sites all over the web. Custom work may also be discussed. Featured Artists, Crafts, Projects, and Interesting People can all be discovered here.
Hello there, I am at a loss for something to write today, I have racked my wee brain and I got nothing! Instead I thought I would share a photo or two. My friend Lucritia Wolfblack sent me this wonderful web card on my facebook wall, and I completely agree.
My very dear friend and sometimes mentor, Ralph Cordero of Studio RGC is one talented and amazing sculptor. His items can be found here: studiorgc or you can find his goodies on Etsy.
Here are a couple of his items that I just adore. They are so detailed and just amazing to look at. I always see something I missed before when viewing his work.
These are so cool, I don't know if they have holes in the botton, but they would make awesome pencil or pen toppers! I think the green one is glow-in-the-dark. Gruesome, but I like them. Biter Zombie Head
Thank you for stopping by and having a look. The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
Tuesday is here, and as usual we have five items that would make awesome gifts. Today I am trying something a little different. These items are taken from brand new artists on handmadeartists.com. They are not part of the blog ring or any other feature. These are artists that have caught my eye, not to mention make things that I covet! Ladies, are you stuck for something to get the man in your life? Check these out. Not only are they cool, they are very masculine, and come in a variety of items, including movie monsters, backhoes, Sports Figures and much more. These sculptures are amazing and I would recommend just having a look at what else is in the shop. Not only are these are awesome they are totally affordable! From: Art From Steel
This adorable
little Red Panda is just hanging around enjoying his time with you!
This unique necklace will melt your loved one's heart instantly!!!
If a special someone loves red pandas, this is the coolest gift ever!
This carefully designed {hand sculpted} wearable artwork was created
with incredible attention to detail. The pictures do not do it justice.
This pendent comes with a 18" ball chain. Pendant is about 1" x 1". The purple flower is a Swarovski crystal.
Get him now! This necklace will go fast and will not be re-listed until another one is made. They are very labor intensive.
**Please read my shop policy's before making a purchase.
**note: since the panda has very fine details the appendages are
delicate. I recommend being gentle when wearing this necklace. (aka:
don't kick box while wearing it)
------------------------------------------------------------------
**all jewelry that leaves my shop is swabbed with antiseptic.
**yes, I have cats but they are not allowed near my jewelry components,
in process pieces or finished pieces...as it would be a choking
hazard.
**smoke free environment
These are truly unique, one of a kind and amazing affordable for the time and effort that must have gonein to making them.

Good Morning, The weekend is here and I am looking forward to it. Means that I will have some time to sequester myself in the Office and get some stuff done. I was cruising around the interwebs looking for something interesting to share. I found a couple of videos on glass-making, and thought it might be fun to search for glass beads, this is a neat little video about glass beads and how they are made.
Have you seen this yet? My very favorite Twisted Little Thing from my friend and very talented sculptor Ralph Cordero. If you're in to unique collectibles don't miss out on these gruesome cuties! Hal I Toesis
Description: Twisted Little Thing - Hal I Toesis - Approx 3 inches tall 4.5 inches wide. Solid cast resin, detailed mini sculpture collectible.
I knit, and I just love this idea! I must find patterns to make these for myself. I found them on Etsy and I know at least two of that read this are just going to go nuts for these macabre creations fresh off the needles! These are just awesome and lots of fun.
Description: While zombies are generally looked down upon as uncouth and uncivilized members of society, they're really just trying to get by the best way they know how and want nothing more than to get along with (and eat) their fellow man.
This handsome gent has pink eyes, black hair, and a lovely crimson gash along his right cheek.
Zombie heads are approximately 2.5" high and are made with acrylic yarn, wool felt, embroidery floss, cotton and/or polyester thread, polyester fiberfill stuffing, fabric glue, and fabric ink.
This item may present a choking hazard and is not intended for small children or pets.
And while we are on the subject of random weirdness, let's take a little segue and ask the readers:
Just what the heck is this thing?
Yes, I know it's a spider, smarty pants. What I want to know is what kind of spider this is. I have never seen one before. I was sitting at the workbench and up the wall it crawled. This is big, too, you could put it on a leash and take it for a walk. No, I didn't squish it, I caught it and put it outside. It has a reddish-brown thorax and legs, it's abdomen is black and striped in white. Creepy little arachnid. Any ideas on what it might be?
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant weekend.

To see the full line of key fobs and pacifier clips available check out my shop at:
I have always loved these beautiful key fobs or key chains and now I make them to share my love for them with my customers. They are light weight so they don’t weigh down your keys and durable so they can take the beating in your purse. It makes a world of difference when you’re blindly trying to find your keys in your purse. They are big enough to slip on your wrist so you never fumble for your keys again.
Description: This fiery bangle has bright, deep, shiny ruby red beads. Lined with silver for an extra spark inside the bead. Add a touch of color to an Office Suit, a fun accessory for a casual outing or heat up the little black dress with warmth around your wrist.
Would make an excellent July Birthday Gift.
Hand woven in silver plated jump rings with Ruby red silver line Czech glass beads.
This is kinda cool, and we can't eave the boys out, at a $100.00, this is a steal of a deal and won't they be happy terrorizing the family pets! Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank with Night Vision
Whether following friends and family, navigating the office or investigating the activities of your dog, it’s all possible with this audio/visual-enabled and photo-taking Rover. Its built-in microphone transmits sound back to your device in real time. So you can hear everything as it’s being said. The manually adjustable camera streams live video and takes still photos. Giving you total access to see what’s going on in other rooms.
These cubes are the new ice. Because n’ICE Cubes™ will never melt and dilute your drinks. Simply place in the freezer for a few hours, then slip a handful into a glass and pour on your favorite potent potable, like a top-shelf single malt. In minutes, your drink is nicely chilled—and full strength. Afterwards, just rinse, dry and replace the stones in the freezer for next time.
Always ready to chill when you are.
n’ICE Cubes™ are made of stainless steel. Each measures approx. ¾" square with smoothed edges that won’t mar glasses. Available in sets of 3 or 6. Great for cooling down non-alcoholic drinks, too.
That's all the ideas we have for today. Those Stainless Steel Ice Cubs are cool! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look, and Happy First Day of Spring to you!
