I have been working hard on a couple of new pieces.  One is a Victorian choker that is black and red and actually didn't really turn out quite as steampunk as I had hoped but I have new plans for the steampunk angle.

The next piece I have that is almost finished is for Domestic Violence Awareness.  I have dealt with this personally so I really put my heart and soul into this one.  It is silver and purple Euro 4-1 and will have a small silver ribbon at the end near the clasp.  So I hope that I can make more people aware of this and maybe save someone the pain (physically and mentally) that I went through with my ex-husband.

This is a sneek peek of what I am working on right now. 

It is a gothic piece that is great for those who like things a little on the darker side.  It is a choker with black and red chainmaille and the cross with a macabre look and feel since it has skulls on it.  

I am so excited because hopefully in just a short while from now a big beautiful brown UPS truck will be pulling up outside of my house with a box for me.  What is in the box?  Beautiful anodized aluminum jump rings for some new designs. 

I should be getting some black and red rings to work on a gothic choker.  This piece would have been perfect for Halloween because it is dark and macabre but it will work work those who like a darker image.  

Then I have some other colored rings like pink, red and purple for Awareness pieces. These pieces are going to bein a Euro 4-1 weave and they are going to be mixed with silver rings on the outside and then the color rings in the middle.  Then off the clasp will be a small silver  ribbon charm.  I also have plans for a necklace in this same idea but with a cross for a pendant that will have matching Swarovski crystals inside.

 All in all, I think I will have some great things to show and list when they are finally completed.

Well, as some may have noticed, I have been really lax in listing new items.  I have designs that I have been planning for a while now but just haven't been able to get the supplies.  That has changed and the order placed so keep an eye open for some new awareness pieces.  There will also be a gothic piece coming, I originally wanted to get it in my shop in time for Halloween but that didn't quite work out, but it will be listed as soon as I get the supplies and get it made.

 I am also planning some new items for my shop in the future. I don't want to say too much until I get some prototype pieces made so be on the look out for some cool new things!
