Vera Luna Jewellery - made with love and madness*

White Peacock for Winter

2009-12-16T23:07:00.000-08:00

Well, the cold is upon us, for real this time. I've been busy at work in other areas, but I thought I'd share one of my favourite creations of mine this season: the White Peacock Necklace.

This awesome thing is made of polymer clay, strung on a wire with big white pearls and little colourful gemstone rondelles. Every little swirl and feather was made by hand and attached carefully, and then the whole pendant was covered with a double layer of protective sealant. It's hard to catch the look of it just right in photographs, but you get a good idea of the shine and intricacies in this pic. Like it? I'm quite pleased with how it turned out =)

Stay warm out there, folks,

GM.

Hallowe'en Yummies!

2009-10-29T19:45:00.001-07:00

You would think that with 2 more days til Hallowe'en, I would have photographed some of my fun seasonal things already. I haven't, since for me Hallowe'en is pretty much all the time. What I did do, however, was photograph some delicious skull-shaped cupcakes I baked all by myself (if you don't consider the premade mix cheating). Huzzah, baked goods!

Okay, I am aware that they look as much like evil snowman heads as they do human skulls, but you get what you get. C'mon, premade mix.

I realized, in my image-browsing, that I can show you a bit of my process for the scary goods. Behold. process!

You are looking at the workstation I set up, on the fly, at my sister's place. FYI, the bird illustration is my own, and I think it looks quite smart in its pendant.

That's all for now, folks! Enjoy Hallowe'en if I don't get to ya first!

Some More....Stuff!

2009-10-25T16:33:00.000-07:00

Fall is back with even more cold weather than is seasonal, so I guess it's time to bring out some of the new autumnal pieces. Behold, the Diamond Mine necklace!

I named it the Diamond Mine because the flakes of sparkling silver in the black labradorite remind me of the subtle shimmer in certain rough rocks. The beads are smooth and cool, wired together firmly with sterling silver and hanging from a length of sparkling silver cable chain.

Matching sets are fantastic, so in that spirit, I present the Diamond Mine bracelet and Diamond Meteor bracelet!

Made with the same cool smooth black labradorite stone, in the same style as the Meteor and Black Lab bracelets of summer, these pieces are perfect for fall and winter. They make a somewhat bolder statement than their summer counterparts, but they do mix and match equally well with them. Nothing says style like black and silver.

That is that! Hallowe'en is nearly upon us, and I have lots of awesome fun stuff to do - carving pumpkins, making caramel apples, working on my costume, AND making spooky jewellery. I'm excited. I will post pics of my progress soon.

Until then!

GM.

As Soon As I Get Excited About Fall...

2009-09-22T00:20:00.000-07:00

...the temperature rises to 24 degrees with a humidex of 30! It looks like swimming season might not be as over as I thought. To celebrate that now instead of the crispness of fall and all that, may I present some ocean-themed jewellery.

First up is a necklace called Pale Moonlight, featured at right. The pink and purple pearls are so cool and inviting. The centerpiece is a mermaid cameo set in a vintage brass setting with a backing of complimentary fabric. Beneath that, a long crystal teardrop hangs from more luminous pearls. Beautiful, unique, and limited.

Next we have another unique number called Golden Sands. This one is warm and elegant, draping nicely at about 20". This one also features a mermaid cameo, this time in a different brass setting. Bronze pearls, gold filled chain and a small asymmetrically placed toggle clasp make this necklace a one-of-a-kind.

So, what kind of weather will we have tomorrow?

GM.

New Things for Fall!

2009-09-19T20:09:00.000-07:00

Hello there!

Fall is upon us (in a few days, officially), and here in Ontario things are really cooling down. This summer was pretty fall-like itself, actually, but there were a few weeks in August that really made me think about swimming instead of long sleeved sweatshirts. Alas, those times are over, and now I get to think about things like Hallowe'en and that apple orchard I visited in Kindergarten. To celebrate, I've made some new stuff!

Behold above, the Autumn Apples necklace! It combines cherry quartz with freshwater pearls and lots of other things for a luxurious and distinctly fall look.

Presenting a cool counterpoint to the Autumn Apple necklace is the Night River necklace. Blue goldstone round beads lend the appearance of the night sky while fancy cut labradorite nuggets with plenty of flash remind one of tumbling gray waters. Plenty of other things help to make up the cool uniqueness of this necklace, from tiny garnets to dark pewter freshwater pearls.

So this is what fall will look like! More good news is that the more distinctly summer pieces in my store will soon be on sale, so if you've had your eye on something fun and colourful for a while, mosey on over and check out the sale section.

See you soon, and happy September =)

A Poodle

2009-08-19T22:31:00.000-07:00

Hi folks, sorry for another delay. I've been hard at work on my new mysterious line of jewellery, and also caring for this cute little guy!

His name is Lambchop, and he's currently our foster dog. He's a poodle-spaniel, and we think he's the sweetest little thing ever. He's quite different from Joanie (our previous foster dog whom we loved, and who died of heartworm complications); he hasn't had the tough life she did, so he's better socialized to living with humans. We're having a wonderful time living with him.

As soon as I get a suitably obscure detail of some of my new work done, I'll post pics of it here for you to examine and marvel over. I know you do that. Even if you don't...you will be blown away by what's coming next from VL. I'm excited! =D

See you soon,

GM.

Forewarning!

2009-08-06T23:15:00.000-07:00

I am now working on a new jewellery line, seperate from Vera Luna. It may end up a part of it after all, but from the plans I've got now, it's pretty different from anything I'm doing under VL. I'm going to be all annoyingly secretive today, but I can tell you that the new line will combine two of my favourite things (which I can't define because it would be as good as spilling all the beans).

I'll let slip more details soon!

-GM.

Because in Ontario, spring is the new summer.

2009-07-26T22:03:00.000-07:00

Printemps Necklace!

This necklace is a sweet study in springtime and summer. Delicate sterling silver chain leads to a textured brass ring, from which a bright green resin leaf hangs next to a cranberry-coloured Czech glass flower. Total length is about 20”.

I made and sold the first version of this back when summer was just a crazy dream. Now that summer is more of a subtle disappointment here in Ontario, I thought I'd release it to the public. Now we can all get excited about semi-warm rainy days instead of sunny heat and beaches, since it rains every day :\

I also apologize for my long absence. I should have posted a warning about it, but I had a family situation that needed tending to.

Thanks for reading, and see you again soon =)

GM.

Okay, this is awesome.

2009-06-26T11:54:00.000-07:00

ArtFire made a few changes to their basic accounts, and so I now have RapidCart on this blog! It allows people to buy directly from here, without going over to the ArtFire site itself. I haven't bought anything on it yet, but it looks smashing, doesn't it? I haven't figured out if I can change the prices to CAD from USD, so if any Canadians are interested in something just message me and I'll send you the correct price in Canadian dollars.

It's right over here ================================>

Huzzah!

Terror in the Craft Basin, for real this time

2009-06-26T00:34:00.001-07:00

Okay, here's that article I wrote for Handmade News. And for fun, here's a photographic representation of what that terror might look like:
The soul-darkening, mind-shattering unearthly horror of Cthuhlu in kitty form! One of his lesser-known manifestations, but still deadly to the collective sanity of mankind. Humanity, look upon the face of your doom!

See you soon,

GM.

Vera Luna on ArtFire!

2009-06-24T22:41:00.000-07:00

I've been writing some articles for HandmadeNews.org for a while now, so I thought I'd wander over to affiliate ArtFire to check them out. Turns out, they're pretty cool! So I've opened a studio there too.

I'm slowly listing things there as well as on Etsy. Shh, don't tell Etsy.

Look here!

Also, my next article will be published tomorrow, I believe, and I will post a link here as soon as it happens (maybe or maybe later)!

Off to snooze,

GM.

Sad News =(

2009-06-21T21:22:00.000-07:00

Sad for me, anyway. To explain my absence of late, here it is: my foster dog Joanie, whom I was going to adopt as soon as she got back from her visit to the vet a week ago, died while she was there. She was only a year and a half old, and I had her for a month. I'm telling myself that she had a happy home with us for the first time in her life, and that maybe our purpose was to help her see that not all humans are bad, but I'm still really sad. I've been grieving, and therefore not doing much blogging or jewellery-ing. It's been a few days, and although I'm still heartbroken, I'm afraid grief doesn't pay in the monetary sense, so I'll get back down to work soon. Who knows, maybe it'll make me feel better.

See you soon,

GM.

I've been featured!

2009-06-13T21:53:00.000-07:00

A lovely girl named Janet, of JeByJa on Etsy, has featured me on her blog! She updates every day with new artists on Etsy, and it's something we can really use these days. Thanks Janet!

In other news, I made some big sales today. I did some custom pieces for a lovely woman named Sylvia, and she loved them, but I took a spontaneous nap before I got the chance to take any pics. Just believe me, I do awesome work (I'm totally cool). Here's a pic of the poly clay pendant in-process:

He's a lizard! This is before he got his yellow spots and his gold bronze pulver....uh, dusting, but I'll show you his cool little face too:

Neat-o, huh? I'm pretty pleased with the way he turned out. You should see him fully dressed! I'll find more pics soon, but really, pics don't do him justice.

And that's pretty much all for today. I had a good day, how about you?

GM.

Edit: Oh, maybe you want me to link to Janet's blog? Duh! Here it is!

Yard Sale + Art Sale = Yart Sale!

2009-06-11T01:15:00.000-07:00

(Blueberry Bird Necklace)

Yart sale!
I didn't make that up, folks. As anyone who's been browsing Etsy will know by now, they have decided to make a vaguely uncomfortable pseudo-word into a five-day Etsy-wide sale that anyone selling there can participate in. So, some of my stuff is on sale! I already marked the prices down, but just trust me: you'll be saving monies and supporting a good cause (me). So go check it out!

Here's a few pics of some of the things in my sale section!

(Lemon Meringue Bracelet)

(Stegosaurus Necklace)
(Eclipse Necklace [Lunar])

I've knocked a few dollar signs off these prices, so come take a look. It's a very temporary sale, and then we're going back to the way things were, see? Or maybe I'll have rotating sale items every week....

See you soon,

GM.

Whiskey Flower Bracelet

2009-06-06T12:56:00.000-07:00

New listing! This one's a tribute to Whiskey, the best friend that ever came out of a bottle. Way better than a genie. Sure, Whiskey has terrible judgment and is all too gifted at convincing you otherwise, and you never wake up after a night spent with Whiskey without a headache, but come on. Just saying...wearing this bracelet is far safer than drinking it. So here it is!

This bracelet is a sassy shot of warmth with a bit of bite and a smooth finish! Flat smooth ovals of grey labradorite are linked together with gold filled wire and a gold filled toggle clasp. A warm whiskey coloured Czech glass flower dangles from one end.

Drink up! You won't regret this one, I promise.

-GM.

From Beyond!

2009-06-04T22:59:00.000-07:00

That was another short story by H.P. Lovecraft, also made into an awesome and semi-ridiculous Stuart Gordon movie starring the always enjoyable Jeffrey Combs. From this cornucopia of inspiration, I drew these:

They look simple to the naked eye, but if you stare into the shimmering depths of the stone too long, it's quite possible you could slip between dimensions and discover horrors undreamt of til now. They are also quite lovely for both fancy occasions and casual days.

I recommend the movie From Beyond to anyone who...well, just anyone. It's nice to see a young Jeffrey Combs play something other than a lunatic/genius. Oh....wait....just watch it anyway.

See you soon,

GM.

Terror in the Craft Basin

2009-06-04T22:46:00.000-07:00

I'm going to write another article for Handmade News! For those of you who ignored my earlier blog post, I wrote an article about the link between soul-crushing depression and ~~boyfriends~~ creativity that was posted on the main page there. This new one will be about the soul-crushing horror of being involved in an artful demographic that looks with suspicion at newcomers. I'm talking in my geographic area, folks, not online; somehow, although not being able to see someone's face often ends with increased rudeness in other arenas, in the handmade world, people have been welcoming and supportive to me. Stay tuned for the details! And, an Etsy store update in my next post!

Regards,

GM.

Beaches Bracelet

2009-06-04T00:09:00.000-07:00

Hey, I listed something else! I'm also in the process of changing a lot of my pics. I've found a cute little white porcelain cup that really highlights the goods. And now, behold!

The Beaches bracelet!

Summer calls with this bright and beautiful bracelet! Blue swirls of seawater curl around the sun-warmed sand, with glimmering silver findings setting the light, easygoing mood. Featuring turquoise and sand lampwork beads with bright blue jade rondelles. Fastens with a sterling silver toggle clasp. Size can be adjusted, just convo me. Currently measures about 7”.

If only it were warm enough in Ontario for it to be June, like, in our hearts as well as on our calendars.

Sincerely,

GM.

The Colour Out of Space!

2009-06-03T00:38:00.001-07:00

That's a pretty wicked shortish story by H.P. Lovecraft, an American weird horror writer who published it around 1925. It involves a meteor crashing on a farm, and the substance of it creating some very strange, horrible effects in the crops, then the livestock, and finally the family who lived there. You should definitely read it. I've been trying to get my boyfriend to for months, but he's been dodging me with workout routines and video games. I'll get you next time, Gadget! NEXT TIME!!

Anyway, here are the earrings I made after reading this awesome story:

Say hello to creatures from long ago and far away with these earrings! Glimmering dust from the oldest stars flashes inside the foggy light gray stones, and the purple flower dangling alongside is just a bit too big and bright to be normal. Featuring fancy grade nuggets of labradorite in colours not found on this earth. Dangling behind are three tiny labradorite ovals bound together with silver wire. Purple Czech glass flowers finish this otherworldly combo off. Earrings hooks are sterling silver. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, but reading weird stories not required.

Not that Lovecraft was much of an earrings-wearer. I thought the labradorite looked otherworldly. Here's a link to the story! That's right, you can read it free online now! I paid money for mine.

Catch you later,

GM.

Dew Drop Necklace

2009-06-01T19:12:00.001-07:00

So, I got a dog, and now all I care about is walking her and feeding her and petting her and playing with her. However, the world demands more, so here I am with a new necklace! It is a version of a piece that proved popular in the real world.

The Dew Drop Necklace!

I wrote a whole description telling you all about the cool bright tones, the crisp yet smooth texture, the atmosphere of summer days just after sunrise, and realized it sounded like food. Anyway, I made this with howlite and a vintage Austrian crystal drop, along with plenty of silver wire and a Czech glass flower. Can't get enough of those Czech glass flowers. Like it?

See ya later =)

GM.

Lonely Hearts Club

2009-05-27T21:29:00.000-07:00

Hey, that article I wrote for Handmade News has been published! You can read it here.

I am considering opening an account with Artfire, as well as Etsy. What do you think? Also, as soon as I get some more photos taken, I'll be listing again and posting new and exclusive pics here for your viewing enjoyment.

I'll be seeing y'all!

GM.

Joanie!

2009-05-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

Hey, guess what?? I'm fostering a rescued storm dog from Louisiana! Her name is Joanie and she's awesome. She's scared of everything and she has mange, so she was a tough sell at the SPCA, but she's doing pretty well here. The last family who fostered her said they couldn't get her out of the crate in 5 months, which makes me seem like a dog whisperer when you consider that she came right out into the living room 5 minutes after we got her here. Here she is!

Isn't she adorable? I'm so happy she's here =)

Daylight Necklace

2009-05-18T23:57:00.001-07:00

Hey folks! Here is your regular dose of VL: The Daylight necklace!

Wear a bit of the bright blue summer sky, even on cloudy days. This summery necklace hangs at around 17”, featuring eight beautiful flat genuine turquoise beads, and finished with large link sterling silver flat cable chain and a bold sterling silver toggle clasp. Looks great alone, or layered with the Nyx necklace!

And that's pretty much all I have to say about it. My wire wrapping was complimented by someone, and when I looked, I saw it really was kind of nice. Check it out, if you dare!

Catch ya later,

GM.

Nyx Necklace

2009-05-14T18:51:00.000-07:00

Hello, internetsians! I've been a little under the weather for a few days, but I'm slowly getting back to normal now. I just listed a new necklace, called Nyx, which stands for Night. It features a really cool blue goldstone, and just so I don't get slammed by stone afficionados, let me say that I am aware that goldstone is made of glass. Photos and a description follow:

Sparkle with the elegant simplicity of the night sky in the country. Delicate sterling silver chain leads to a textured brass ring, from which a 14mm blue goldstone bead hangs. Total length is about 19”.

Next post: Big news about a dog! I'm so excited.

See you (really) soon!

GM.

Beaches Necklace

2009-05-10T21:43:00.000-07:00

Greet the summer sun with this light, simple necklace! This is a casual and breezy accessory, fit for lunch at a harbour front café or a walk on the beach. Delicate sterling silver chain leads to a textured brass ring, from which a 22mm puffed coin lampwork bead hangs with a cream coloured freshwater pearl. Total length is about 22”.

Bryan hasn't written a description for this one yet because I'm listing things faster than he can come up with brilliant things to say about them. I'll edit him in if he becomes available, don't you worry...

In other news, it looks like I'll be publishing a short article on HandmadeNews.com! It's a sister site to Artfire.com, a site that makes me wonder if I should open a shop there too. I'll let you know if that happens, and in the meantime, acquaint you with Handmade News. Lots of cool stuff there! Again, not just because I may be on there soon too.

See you soon =)

GM.

Sweet Pea Pod bracelet

2009-05-07T23:58:00.000-07:00

I had to post two pics of this because it's really hard to capture how awesome this bracelet looks in a photo. If only you could see it in person, you'd totally get it....but anyway, it's pretty cool. I was surprised at how well this turned out, actually; everything is so colourful and deep and luminous. I'm really happy with it, and I have more like it in different sizes on the way. Here's what I said about it on Etsy:

Looking for some fresh flavour that will last longer than the time it takes to chew and swallow? Have I got the set for you – starting with this vibrant bracelet. A dark green polymer pod encases six bright peas of pearl, wrapped at both ends with sterling silver wire and strung on delicate sterling silver rollo chain. Two darker green pearl peas flank the sterling silver lobster clasp and ring. The length of the chain makes the bracelet fit comfortably at 7”, but I can alter this if needed. Looks really bright and fresh!

Hope you eat your greens, everyone.

GM.

Blueberry Bird...

2009-05-06T21:31:00.000-07:00

Good news! My Blueberry Bird necklace has been featured in another Etsian's blog! Check out Mystic Wynd for cool writings about everything from astrology to birds (which is where my BB necklace landed), and lots of featured Etsy sellers! It's a great blog with great things in it, and I'm not just saying that because I'm in it.

I may list something new tonight, if the mood strikes me. I did make a new necklace today, but the absence of sun in the sky at midnight makes for lackluster photos. I'll let you know as soon as anything exciting happens, folks.

Later!
GM.

A Dog a Day: A Cat

2009-05-05T23:24:00.000-07:00

I went back to the SPCA yesterday and wore myself out walking lots of lovable dogs. This time I also met a few lovable cats! See, it went like this: there were two fluffy grey kittens, and then one of them was adopted, so the other one was, in my imagination, sad. So I played with him, and let me tell you - there was a period of about fifteen minutes when I was sure I was not leaving the place without him. I did come to my senses eventually, though, since he was into everything and enjoyed climbing me like I was a tree and not a soft, bleedy human being. His photo is gone from the site, which I guess means he didn't have to sleep alone at the shelter for long. Just trust me, he was super cute.

Then I met a cat that I really do want to take home. His name is Carizma:

He's beautiful. I'm told he was surrendered because there was no time for him, which sucks for him because he is really sweet. I wanted to take him home too, I think I mentioned, but we're not ready for a new pet yet. We have some cleaning to do, we just lost our totally awesome cat Midnight after 12 years...anyway, yeah. Carizma. If he's still there when we are ready, I would like to adopt him. Stay tuned to see how that turns out, if you can handle the suspense!

-GM.

In the Dark Woods

2009-05-05T23:10:00.000-07:00

Hello, all! I listed this today:

Bryan hasn't seen this one, so I don't have a nifty description yet. Aside from mine, of course.

Casual and dark, organic and mysterious – this is the necklace to wear if you want to show your esoteric side. Fossil jasper rounds are wired individually into a 20” necklace, leading to a carved dark wood teardrop pendant. Sterling silver holds it all together, fastening with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Check it out, if you dare!

Stegosaurus Necklace

2009-05-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

Stegosaurus Necklace!

Are you fed up with cryptozoololgists and their dinosaur lies? Stop thinking with your second brain, let down your armor plates, and party like it's one hundred and fifty million years ago. Necklace is 12 meters long and 5.5 short tons. Perfect for single moms, Charles W. Gilmore, and anyone from Como Bluff, Wyoming. Predators not included.

-B.D.

Wear a little bit of the Mesozoic era around your neck. This unique collar necklace consists of luxurious deep green Biwa pearls and rice-shaped handmade polymer clay beads, all strung on strong and flexible beading wire. Holding it all together is a sterling silver lobster clasp. The colours and textures in this necklace evoke visions of steamy green prehistoric rainforests, or the strong plates lined up on a stegosaurus’ back, don’t you think? This is a lush and dinosaur-nostalgic way to make a statement, and the perfect decoration for a special evening. Listed this lovely today! It's pretty wicked in person, and sometimes I dream of dinosaur times, when all the plants were huge and it was probably really humid and the sun was hazy and beautiful.

See you soon!

Garden Amber, Like I Promised in the Previous Post

2009-05-01T00:07:00.000-07:00

There it is, the Garden Amber bracelet. Made to layer with Springtime, but not required to.

Common cloudy, not made of tree sap. May contain insects. Give props to the Sun God Elector the Awakener at Phoenician get togethers with this limited edition. Warning: Electrostatic properties may decompose if heated above 200 degrees centigrade.

-B.D.

It was a few months ago that I wrote the description for this bracelet, and I was sick at the time. I posted something nicer on Etsy, but here's what I came up with originally, in a Nyquil-tinted daze:

Here we have a classic bracelet made with puffed jade rectangles about the same colour as the goo exploding from my lungs right now. It’s a bright, organic spring green colour, fastened with gold-filled wire and a gold-filled toggle clasp. Dangling breezily from the links are alternating vintage glass leaves of black and amber. A truly disquieting sight!

Makes you want to buy, doesn't it? Rest assured, I wasn't sick when I actually made the bracelet. I don't...do things when I'm sick, aside from languish online and maybe get the occasional paperwork done. The rest is all sleeping and complaining. I'm feeling much better now, though. I guess I have been for months, really.

See you soon!

-G.M.

A Dog a Day: Jack Skellington

2009-04-27T19:53:00.001-07:00

Before I tell you about Jack Skellington, I have good news: Nelly, the adorable beagle cross from the last dog post, found her forever home a few days ago! Yay!
Here's Jack:
Jack Skellington is a German Shepherd cross. He's big and strong but gentle and generally awesome. He'd be perfect for a family with a big yard and a park nearby. His profile says he's sweet and shy, which is pretty much what I got from meeting him. Look at that handsome doggy face, ready to make you totally popular at the dog park (if you happen to live in the Southern Ontario area)! From the name they gave him, it seems he's been there since Hallowe'en. He deserves a good home. Maybe posting about the dogs I've met is good luck, and he'll be going home soon.

I'll return with more canine coolness soon!

-G.M.

Garden Amber and Springtime

2009-04-27T19:21:00.000-07:00

Good news! I sold 5 pieces in person this week - only one of them currently listed on Etsy. Someone simply had to have this bracelet I like to call Springtime, I'm Out Here in Your Morning Breezes.

Essential piece for optimists/lovers. Not suggested for winter, summer, or autumn (unless you are very secure or Celtic). Perfect for March, April and May. Make a spash at the Vernal Equinox. Flora will flourish wherever you go, and swallows will follow. Especially pretty during supercell thunderstorms.

-B. D.

A spring-coloured combination of olivine jade rectangles, Czech glass flowers in garnet and wasabi, and sterling silver findings – this bracelet was made to remind you that winter can’t possibly last forever, or so I’ve been told. Fun and breezy, perfect for dressing up or down! -G.M.

This bracelet went to a lovely Dutch girl who can give it the love it deserves. I'll be making a variation of this right away, though, so sit tight. More news on dogs to come!

-G.M.

A Dog a Day: Nelly!

2009-04-23T23:49:00.000-07:00

I met this dog Nelly at the SPCA today. She is wayy prettier in person. She's some kind of beagle cross, which makes her smelly - ie, she likes to smell things, not be smelly herself. She's a really good dog, though, as far as I can tell. So gentle and kind. Apparently she sometimes pees on the floor, which is not a plus, but can be dealt with if you have patience - she's a bit of an older dog. She also has really soft fur.

So I don't know if I'll be back with another dog tomorrow, but I will be back with one soon! I met a bunch today, and I think they all warrant their own little post.

Evening, lads and ladies!
-G.M.

ps - An apology to the comments left on my previous posts! I'm sorry I've been so lax in responding, for some reason I thought I'd get email notifications. Thanks so much for commenting, I'll be more attentive in future!

Star Falling!

2009-04-23T22:16:00.000-07:00

This is a pretty popular bracelet in my household, so I decided to break some hearts and sell it.

Star Falling, not outshone by the sun, collapsing through clouds. Morning star, son of dawn. Absorbs light frequencies, the color of authority. Wear it to a stock market crash, perfect attire for the Great Depression.

This bracelet is actually called We Own the Sky, my not at all favourite song by M83. It just seemed to fit, though, see? Anyway, here's the official description:

Here’s a fun and pretty bracelet sure to turn heads, if people happen to be looking in the direction of your hands. A reaaaaally big black plastic star dangles from a double-link silver tone chain, fastened with a brass-finished toggle clasp. Luminous purple glass pearls dangle along the length. Fun and crazy! OOAK.

I think I'll write something a bit more life-related in the next post, but I'll make it a seperate one, so you can see We Own the Sky in all its glory. Catch it here, in my store, if you stumbled here by accident and want to own it or anything else I've posted!

See you soon!

I listed a new item today! Behold, the Waterfalling earrings:

Is society eroding your will to live? Don't worry, it's not your "fault" (or your landslide). The perfect piece to stave off suicidal tendencies. Don't throw yourself over Niagara Falls - clasp on this collector's item instead. Increases your velocity, depression will recede. Essential for the survival of all life forms.

These earrings are an elegant addition to Vera Luna, measuring about 2” in length. On each sterling silver hinged earring, an emerald-coloured Swarovski heart crystal is wrapped in delicate silver wire, dangling at the end of a sterling silver cable chain. Next to this hangs a silver key on a slightly heavier chain, giving the earrings flash and movement. A lovely accessory for any outfit.

I'll be back with more soon, my pretties, soooon!
