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!

Boo!
"Boo!" Halloween Card |
Halloween is almost here and Cardallegiance is commemorating the holiday with two new designs! The first one, pictured above, channels old, cracked stone (the kind you'd find in an old mansion or as part of a tombstone, perhaps?). Here's a shot of the inside, too:

The second design, seen below, was inspired by jack-o-lanterns of recent years. Is it a bit cannibalistic? You be the judge. Someone asked me recently if this hungry pumpkin card would work for a child and my response was, "depends on the kid." Little children and the "G Rated" crowd weren't the intended audience for this card. It's more probable, however, that older kids, teens or adults would go for a design like this.

Keep it simple and inspire some fright this year by sending one of these fresh designs to someone.
......and have a Spooktacular Halloween!
