A Crafty Clay Shoppe Customer Creations...

Look what Roz Loftus of Rozzies Sparklies has created using molds from The Clay Shoppe by Ametista!   She is a talented Precious Metal Clay artisan from the UK who, aside from being a fabulous customer of ours, is someone who wishes she could be a singer, architect and travel writer when she grows up...(and secretly hopes she will never grow up) and we respect that.

We eagerly look forward to seeing more work from Roz!  We invite you to view more amazing work created by our loyal customers.  To view the fabulousness click here.

Designs by Vanessa

First I'd like to share a little about Vanessa...she has enjoyed crafts since she was a little girl. As you will see in her shop, she LOVES anything "birdie". In her profile she lists things she loves like, family, friends, photography (a girl after my own heart), scrapbooking, jounaling, reading (any good books lately?) jewelry, and so much more.

Vanessa has a simple but elegant design to her jewelry like this necklace...

Darling Swallow Necklace

Two darling swallows are connected to a lovely amazonite quartz faceted oval bead. The pair is attached to an antiqued brass chain finished with round 6mm swarovski golden shadow crystals. The necklace measures approximately 18" long.

These classic earrings are composed of 10mm White Swarovski pearls and wire wrapped to sterling silver jump rings and French wires. They hang approximately
1 1/4" long.

Jane Earrings

Vanessa also designs little cards that you can purchase to go along with the piece of jewelry you just bought for either yourself or someone else.

This is a set of 3 cards that measures 5.25 x 4". Comes with a matching brown envelope and is enclosed in a cello bag tied with a ribbon ready for gift giving or save keeping.

Look what "dedesjewelrybox's" created with our molds. These stunning pieces are crafted from Silver PMC (Precious metal clay) which she forms, using our molds and then dries, sands, fires and polishes for a shine that only this purest of silvers can give.

This artist has done a remarkable job and we look forward to seeing more from her!
