How cool is this?! I’ve been working hard to get things made and ready for this and I will be adding new things constantly! I do not have words for how excited I am about this new venture!
Check out the shop, let me know what you think and feel free to offer suggestions! Thank you folks for remaining awesome and inspiring!
I’ve talked about this a bit on twitter and on Facebook, but I’ve not been able to talk about it much until now. 🙂
See, I was tasked with making a crown that was dark and rough and evil looking. I was given a reference pic
“Can you do this, only dark?”
I was also pointed toward Ravenna from Snow White and the Huntsman.
How Badass is that?
With those two pics in hand, I went to work. I’m not gonna lie at all, this was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done, wire-wise. I wanted it to look rough and raw, but I didn’t want it too look like I just threw shit together. It’s also the first time I worked with raw gemstones of any kind. (In this case, it was a raw garnet that fit comfortably into the palm of my hand. Huge.)
Fairly badass, as well, yes? :p
The chains were fun, because I have a drawer in the studio that is (Well, *was*, at this point lol) full of random chains that I pick up all over the place-yard sales, clearance sales, broken jewelry-seriously, I don’t throw anything away. 🙂
Bonus shot of my creepy styrofoam head!
I am super super proud of this and I cannot wait to see it, looking awesome, wicked-evil and fit for a queen, on the woman who’ll be wearing it. Trust me, folks, as soon as I get those pics this summer, I will be sharing them with you. 🙂
