Scooter, my Treefrog Pendant
My little Scooter is getting a makeover...
Meet Scooter!
I've had the pleasure of sculpting some adorable tree frogs in the past years and needless to say, to pick just one to expand the line on was a difficult decision.
Scooter is approximately 2" tall but will be reduced to 1 1/8" tall and around 3/4" tall to expand the collection to include a smaller pendant, left & right ear wire earrings as well as an adorable charms for your charm bracelet.
The New Scooter Collection will also be available in 14k Gold & 14k Gold Plated
Available by Feb. 1, 2013

Update: Twig Cuff #1
![]() |
TWIG CUFF |
Hand sculpted branches and tiny vines make up this back to nature design.
I love nature themed jewelry because it takes my mind to another place instantly, just one look at this cuff reminds me of the dogwood trees that line the edge of our forest. I'm anxiously waiting for the small leafless trees to start budding in the spring. Once they start to bloom, the tiny flowers resemble delicate white lace that trims a cold black forest, an excitement that leads to the beginning of spring.
True to nature, I've included little vines on my cuff and although vines do not grow on our dogwood trees, they live together in nature. In NC, we have a large sweet grape called a Muscadine Grape Vine. Once winter comes and the leaves drop off the Dogwoods, you'll notice that these vines have had a grand time sharing space with our trees. Little curly vines wrapping themselves around the branches as if they grew together trying to catch the warm rays of spring.
So, if you look at our Dogwood Trees quickly while heading down the highways, no, they do not bear fruit even though it may look that way.

Can I say that I just LOVE this ring! When sculpting the ring in wax, I would slip it on just to make sure it would be comfortable, not too big, etc...and once we cast the final piece, WOW...it was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing on this ring.
Description: Rows of bamboo with my signature bamboo leaves laying on top.

New Lemon Quartz Vine Design

I'm not particular fond of the tradition straight line settings that most stones sit in...especially since I don't care for straight lines in the first place.
My father has always told me that nothing in nature grows straight, so I sculpted this ring as if the vines were holding the ring up and my leaves were holding the stone down.
Well I'm happy to say...I'll probably never go back to a straight setting again. I think it came out beautiful...

Orchid, Buds & Leaves

Aventurine is a quartzite gemstone composed of interlocking grains of quartz and small mica crystals.
This mica looks like tiny silver specs in the gem which is really going to pop once I cast this orchid in Sterling Silver.
I haven't decided on how I'm going to make the bail...I've started with a small stem with some neat texture in it.
I also found the matching 28mm x 13mm twisted nuggets and I added 5mm Sterling Silver beads between each nugget...
...I think it's going to be an awesome necklace when finished.
UPDATE: Just cast but not soldered yet. More photos to come once completed.
As soon as I have this cast and soldered, I'll post the finished piece.
