We love lattices!

Hand pierced "Lattice Pendant," brass.

I don't often hear the word "lattice." That's why I had so much fun creating and making this elegant pendant. If you visit the jewelry section of this blog, you'll also see a photo of the piece there because it's one of my favorites.

This design concept began with a diamond shape. Many doodles and sketches later, the intricate swirls became part of the design. If you like this item and want to learn more about it, drop me a line!

Heart Attack.

You've seen them before. Now they're back! It's almost Valentine's Day and great designs have popped up in the shop. First up--the Graffiti Valentine:

Hearts bending and stretching... Buh-bump! Buh-bump! ..... color exploding in pinks and lavenders....Buh-bump! Buh-bump!....and you're overcome by oodles of doodles!

Okay, maybe it's not that serious, but you can spread the love with this wicked cool valentine. Here's a peek inside:

Love, graffiti style.

Option #2- The Flaming Heart card:

This design has been a top seller, keeping in pace with the popular Holiday Shoe and Happy Birthday Sneaker designs. Check out the history of the Flaming Heart Card here.

Finally, I daren't end without some sweet words from the heart:

So, dear readers 

I bid you adieu

With words and jpegs

And gifs

I dare say

May all your greeting card

Wishes come true

And jewelry abound

From Cardallegiance...

Happy Valentine's Day!

"Champagne Thanks" card

Cardallegiance is back after a brief hiatus! We're well into 2012, but this latest card design was directly inspired by a new year's gathering. Long story short, I whipped this up in about an hour in gratitude to my awesome host. Materials for this quickie design include heavy brown cardstock, metallic pens, and Prismacolor pencils in hot shades (I love how they pop off the page).

Check out a few more views of this card:

Inside view- "Champagne Thanks," sans message

Back view- "Champagne Thanks"

 Stay tuned and follow me on Twitter.  A new version of this design will appear soon in the Cardallegiance Etsy shop!
