Customer Feature; Terryfic Arts; Using Silver in Unexpected Ways

Terry Wilson of Ojai, California makes jewelry for an untapped niche market; musicians, especially oboe and bassoon players! An Oboist herself, and realizing that there was no fine jewelry made with these musicians in mind, she decided to fill this need with her own line of specialized Sterling and Fine Silver jewelry carved from wax and cast from her own mold. Most of these are reeds strung on satin cord, some wrapped in colored thread, or earrings on sterling silver earhooks.

Bassoon Reed Earrings, Sterling Silver

In addition to this line of jewelry, Terry has an assortment of other pieces in her Etsy shop, Terryfic Arts including this Bass Clef;



Fine Silver Bass Clef Pendant with Jewels

Terry recently bought some beads from my supply shop and sent me some pictures of her finished piece and the Peppercorn tree that was her inspiration. The likeness is quite close and I just had to share this with my readers!

 

If you have a shop on Etsy and you purchase supplies or jewelry from me, send me a picture of your finished product (or you wearing my finished jewelry if you bought that from me), and you just might get a feature here in my blog!



Look What My Customers Have Created with Items from GiftbearerSupply !

The New Year is the perfect time to feature some of the work created by some of those who have purchased from my Etsy supply shop! I hope these will inspire you and give you some examples of how these supplies can be incorporated, and for those of you who don't make your own, maybe you can find some finished items in these shops that you can use and wear!

Clear Sugar QuartzCluster Organic Copper Winter Fashion (6.5-7)

(SOLD on December 29th, 2011)

Samantha Pirok; PIROK
used one of my clear quartz crystals in a one of a kind ring she electroplated and patinaed. (As you will see it promptly sold). Her work has a very ancient feel to it, like buried treasure, full of texture and rich in color and shape. In her shop you will find many natural stones set in custom settings designed to mold around these unworked rough gems.

Tudy Smith created this medicine bag OOAK Anasazi Pottery Shard Medicine Bag or Cell Phone Case Neck Pouch Ancient Ones using one of the ancient Anasazi pottery shards that are sold in my shop to embellish the front. She opted to continue the pattern from the shard on the front of the bag below the flap on which it has been attached in a striking diagonal design. It is currently for sale in her Etsy shop for $32.00 and along with many other beautiful medicine/possibles bags, knife sheaths, and art pieces would make a wonderful gift for somebody special or for you to wear and/or keep meaningful items in.
