Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

I'm super excited about Tim Burton's upcoming movie "Alice in Wonderland". It looks fantastical and I can't imagine who better to play the mad hatter than Johnny Depp.

Inspired by its magic, I've been planning my own trip down the rabbit hole with a set of new designs inspired by Lewis Carroll's Classic.

I've hand cut various silhouettes depicting some famous favorite characters such as the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire cat and of course Alice.

I'm still working on the Mad Hatter ;) Maybe I'll be inspired after the movie.

In the mean time check out a couple of my new silhouette necklaces and an old favorite:

What I did this weekend...

Besides dork out on the computer....post-pone going to the supermarket for another week...hang out in my p.j's with the hubs and the guaps (my boston T-dog)... IT WAS COLD AND DARK OUTSIDE :(

Anyways, HAPPY MONDAY!

Bad weather aside I was a little productive....
I figured since I've been making nature and animal related silhouettes I should try my hand at some nouveau inspired silhouettes. A while back i had drawn out this lady from a doily my grandmother gave me... and designed some cards with this graphic.

I decided I would use this as my lady silhouette for a new pendant. Check it!
I'm planning to learn how to enamel. I think this design would look great in a celadon blue or bone colored enamel. Can't wait .

Of course I also had to delve into some quirkiness : I made some "moose ears" ;)- Little copper moose antler silhouettes on sterling silver ear wires. As well as a sterling and copper antler necklace.

I then played with a collection of lush and bright gems for some elegant and colorful compositions

Lastly, on the brilliant recommendation of a customer ;) via my online survey, I've re-organized my website.

I have "Collections" now in both my earrings and necklaces sections.
i.e. Fossils, Hearts, Gems, and of course Silhouettes.

I hope this will make things easier for everyone when browsing through. Feel free to leave a comment for fill out the survey if you have a bright idea you'd like to share with me.

ENJOY!
