New Design...Finally!


About a year ago I decided I wanted to expand my designs beyond typewriter keys and had 2 ideas; wax seal stamps or hand stamped designs. I ended up going the route of wax seal designs and haven't regretted it. One of my main inspirations was a 18k gold necklace my SIL and MIL have they got from Shop NBC. It had their initial and a beautiful background pattern on it.

I spent many late nights doing as much research as possible on every facet of this art form and I am still learning something new almost everyday. When someone told me my ideas wouldn't work I was more determined than ever to *make it work* I must admit I was feeling pretty proud of myself when I finished this piece :) So now that I know what I do the sky is the limit !

Itty Bitty Fine Silver Initial Necklace


Someone several months ago asked me about doing small charms with initials and I finally came up with something I liked the past few days. I made these using PMC or Precious Metal Clay. They are 99.9% silver (classified as fine silver)





I love initials and I love PMC. It is a great medium to work with. I have so many ideas floating around in my head and supplies for new projects on the way. I will be stalking the mailman next week! Look for more new pieces soon.

Risky Business


I am obsessed with Wax Seal Jewelry to say the least. I like working with alloys and fine silver- each has it's advantages.

I really like painting them and giving them a weathered look in all kinds of different colors. Haven't had much luck selling them though. I keep telling myself they will catch on and I need to advertise but I can hardly find the time to research rates. For right now they are more something I enjoy making than getting rich on.

New Goodies


Just received a new set of wax seals in a font I love. How can it be a bad day when I have a torch in one hand and an ice tea in the other?

Front Page


My friend DottyRal always has my back when it comes to letting me know I was on the front page. Her convo tore me away from Puffcorn and YouTube Videos. I have been pretty lazy today.... and I got rewarded-hee hee

My letter W charm is featured.

Just Listed


Finally got this one done! Made with stamps from the 1950's in lots of different colors.
These type of pieces are hard to make. I have to open up each key and put the stamp in then clean that nasty acrylic lens then close it back up.
It would be great for a mail carrier :)
