At The Studio

Good Morning,

Happy New Year on and all.

The studio has been in End of Year Mode, and now that we have counted, stocked and organized we're ready to get back to the business of creating wonderful and unique items to adorn yourselves.

Here in Idaho it has been one wintry blast after another, the snow is piled high (finally starting to melt a bit) and it is cold.  Icicles of Doom hang from the roof, it is beautiful and inspirational.

We have been working on new weaves and patterns and colors to please the eye and the wearer.

Shown here in Half Persian 4-in-1 in Bright Aluminum, Dark Green and Violet, and the new weave "Hoodoo Hex", lovely sheet weave creating hexagonal shapes along the length, in Bright Aluminum and Turquoise rings.

Over the next week or two we will be listing these items in the shops and creating more in varying colors.

We hope you'll stop by the shop, website or Social Media pages and see what we've been up to.  Contact us if you have a special request and let's make something wonderful together.

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

Trendy Holiday Gifts for 2016

Good Morning,

Today I would like share some items that are apparently trending this year.

This year Adult Coloring books are all the rage, and I own five or six.  There are all kinds of coloring books out there, and there are even instruction books on the designs called "Tangles" or "Zentangles", draw and color your own designs.

The cell phone, the personal accessory now has accessories of its own.  How about something unique for the Cell-Selfie-Text addict you know?  These adorable Ear-Phone Jacks protectors (dust guard) are available at Amazon and come in several styles.  I like the elephant.  Fun, affordable and more bling to ring about.

Know a Do-It-Yourselfer?  How about a fun kit in their favorite hobby or crafting passion. I love to knit and these kits are just adorable.  You can find them on Etsy, and they include, animals, mythological creatures and dinosaurs.  Clever and cute.  (I want one).

 Geeks, we all know one, and sometimes they have best toys.  Like this Mine Craft cellphone charger as sold on ThinkGeek.

Because presents should be personal, check out the Personalization Mall, they have great items like this unique Jewelry Box that can be customized and totally affordable at $34.00.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

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

Changes To This Blog By Google

Good Morning,

Tuesdays are usually reserved for Five Great Gifts ides, but today I want to share some information about the changes Google will make to the blog, which are out of my control.

Note/Message Box from Google: 

"By September 29, 2016, the Search Box gadget on this blog will only present search results from this blog. Search results from pages linked in your posts, from the Web or from the Blog List and Link List gadgets will not be presented anymore.

 

We recently announced that the Google Feed API would be retired. As a result, the Slideshow gadget will no longer function, and we will remove it from your blog by September 29, 2016."

 

What does this mean for this blog?  I don't know. I do not think I have Widgets or Gadgets installed on this blog as they describe above, but I will be in the process of making sure that external links, and shared links remain accessible.

The slide show gadget no longer being available is disappointing, but there can only be so much room on a server to support such things.  So it will be missed.

The Alchemists Vessel hopes that you will continue to pop in to the blog from time to time and see what we're sharing, creating and selling.

Thank you for your continued support, we couldn't do this without you.

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

Five Great Gifts For Giving Gamer Girl Style

Good Morning,

Today I am going to let my Geek out and share with you five neat items from five unique shops on etsy.  These items are from my personal favorites list of cute and affordable geeky / nerdy / gaming fan items.

Irrational Games, Bioshock Infinite, is a beautiful atmospheric game  with a strong fan base, that makes jewelry as well as button mashes.  The game has inspired many people to create wearable pieces with images and motifs from the game itself.

Elizabeth's Choker Set- Inspired by Bioshock Infinite

 Featuring both interchangeable cameos and one ribbon choker, this set is inspired by Elizabeth's choker set in Bioshock. Handmade with cast resin, lightweight.


Dear Shoppers,

Please note that this is a set: You will receive one ribbon choker and 2 detachable cameos (bird and cage), so you are properly equipped for travels into any alternate timelines!

For the single design choker, jump through the tear here:

Embark on a venture to Columbia with this brand new trinket! Faithful to the original, this choker is available with either the bird or the cage design in a 40x30mm antiqued brass Victorian cameo frame fastened to a darling ribbon in ivory and royal blue. And while you have to choose between designs, the cameos are detachable and can be worn anywhere!

You certainly can't find this little beauty at the Dollar Bill vending machine!

BioShock Infinite Vigors

 These prints are 6in by 9in.

The printer I use has a base shipping of around $15 so I keep the price low. Please note that any additional prints you order add nothing to the shipping cost. Sorry, no P.O. Boxes.

The paper is really thick. I have all my posters in my own home and use either sticky tack or clear thumb tacks to hang up. They look great.

If you buy the whole set, I'll give you one for free via custom listing.
