More Shrink Film Jewelry Lookie See

 

I have been very very busy producing lots of shrink film jewelry. As mentioned the yesterday in this post about surviving a creative rut.. a suggestion of mine is to change mediums. It's a great way of rejuvenating inspiration and getting yourself back in your creating groove.

Take a look at what I made and what is in the process of being completed! The other day I showed you a beautiful necklace inspired by spring and from there it just flowed. Everything about these items are handmade... hand drawn - then colored/outlined, cut, shrunk and crafted with jewelry materials. All the crystals you see are lovely swavorski crystals. The colors and the way light reflects in these crystal beads is truly exquisite! I have a new favorite bead for sure!

 

Captured bottle Necklaces

 

Earrings

 

Wee Owls

 

Mermaid

 

And yet to be... these are completed but have yet to go onto necklace chains. You can see in the first ones I did some free form and color play!

 

 

Next step is cutting individual cardstock so that each item can be attached, then I will be placing a nice and neat little sticker on the back with all my info!

Should look quite proffesional when they are completed. Oh and I nearly forgot to tell you that I have packaged up a set of my handmade art/mixed media jewelry to send off to Somerset Studio's sister magazine called Belle Armoire Jewelry!

I will be taking all of these on an upcoming vacation to Connecticut with my family. Spring break is but four days away, then Easter... and off we go! I am hoping (fingers crossed) that some boutiques and shops will be interested in these items. If not, no biggie! into the Etsy shop they go where you can view and perhaps purchase one of your own :)

Have you entered my giveaway?? it ends this week and you don't want to miss out on your chance to win an original custom portrait by me do you? I didn't think so! enter here :)

These are stunning! You really give shrink film a whole new dimension, I just love how it shines. Those bottle necklaces are such a great find! Ooh, and those dream catchers! But I love every single one of these pieces, well done!

Hope you'll have a great vacation:)

Oh my goodness, Ashlie, I am just blown away by these! This is a wonderful way to make jewellery and showcases your talent for colour and form beautifully. I adore the earrings and the owls, and the way that mermaid is holding a star so peacefully. I love the Swarovski beads, so pretty! Perfect for little jewel drops of rain.

If I had a little boutique I'd definitely want to stock these :D

It just screams everything I remember about growing up on the CT shore! Mystic and Essex are going to covet those goods! Do I dare say CHARM BRACLET!!??

Wow! These are some fascinating pieces. Your work is wonderful! My boyfriend and I just got into sailing. We love the whole culture, lifestyle, art, everything that comes with a maritime aesthetic. I have a couple of crystal beads lying around from other necklaces that I want to tie in with a anchor medallion. I am going to show him your blog so he can buy his little princess jewelry like yours. I can honestly say that I have never seen shrink film done with such elegance. Way to go! Keep posting
