Featuring, Jewelry By Scotti!

I absolutely love handmade jewelry, its definitely my passion. Discovering Jewelry By Scotti was pure joy! She makes beautiful beaded jewelry and many have wonderful animal theme. Because she loves animals so much, she donates at least 20% of all her sales to the Humane Society of Central Illinois: http://www.hscipets.org/ How compassionate is that?

Particularly fond of this gorgeous Amber, Honey-Gold, and Jasper Pendant Necklace and Earrings set, I had to post it here for all of you to fall in love! Doesn't it just make you want to visit Owyhee county?

A double-sided Owyhee picture jasper pendant hangs from a double-strand necklace that blends shades of rich, warm amber and honey with tigerskin jasper and leopard jasper beads. Owyhee jasper comes from the "Owyhee Gem" Mine in Owyhee county which is in southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Owyhee Jasper has a wide variety of patterns and shapes, and is known for its bright colored scenic patterns. Jasper is thought to protect against negativity and to promote healing. Silver and tortoise accents add the perfect touch to this unique and beautiful design. The necklace measures 16", and the rectangular pendant measures 1-1/4" by 1-3/4". Ear wires are sterling silver.

Peach Silk Bead, Vintage Pearl Necklace and Earrings is another very pretty piece that I really adore!

"Peachy" is how you'll feel and look in this ultra-feminine necklace and earring set. Silk-covered vintage beads, vintage pearls, and rectangular beads in soft shades of peach alternate with lacy silver bead caps and silvery spacers. The necklace can be adjusted from 16" to 18". Ear wires are sterling silver.

Island Spirit Bone, Wood, Agate Necklace and Earrings

The colors in this delightful set will remind you of papaya, coconut, and pineapple, warm sun, and gentle breezes. A lovely 1" round pendant made of bone features a delicate brown bird against an ivory background. Red agate bamboo beads, yellow agate rounds, and honey calcite nuggets bring to mind the flavor of delicious island fruits. Dark brown wood beads provide the perfect accent. The necklace measures 24". Matching earrings are made with hypoallergenic no-nickel plating.

Jewelry By Scotti used Bone,agate,honey calcite and wood to make this pretty piece!

Emo Heart, Fused Glass Pendants-My new Etsy Jewelry Shop

Apparently I am not cool. After having a 5 minute conversation with the next door neighbor's young teenage daughters, the new term for having an attitude or being cranky is now called, Emo. As in the conversation I witnessed, "Tell kayla to stop being so EMO!!" Huh? So I decided to try out my new found word by putting it in as many sentences and contexts possible. "Too spicy? Heck, being so EMO, cry baby!" or I tried, "What, you got another arm, stop being so EMO!" when my husband cut off his arm. (just kidding)

...So my week didn't go as well as I had hoped it would (since I was so annoying), but on the flip side, I got great inspiration to start a new shop where I can safely vent all of my distortions from main stream society into fun emo glass creations! "YEY!" Says my husband! So Emo Heart was born!

Emo Hate Love Crossbones

I mean, how cute is this Emo red heart that has a hand painted checkerboard on it! I hand painted the words Love and Hate on this cute emo piece and then fired it in my kiln at super high temperatures to permanently set the fused glass paint.

Then for something a little spicy or dicey! This is my Emo Heart Red Polka Dot Handcuffs Handcuffs Fused Glass Pendant Necklace
Is this super cute or what? Totally original, this red heart has super sweet and innocent white tiny polka dots. I thought, "oh how cute....hum" and decided to make it a little naughty by adding some handcuffs! OR it could mean, "you freed my heart!" or "Unleash my love!" Either way, its super fun. I mean whats not to like about red fused glass hearts and handcuffs! Happy Valentines day, baby!

Emo Heart Skulls and Bones Crossbones Cute Girlie Skull with Pink Bow Fused Glass Pendant and Necklace
This little white heart with skulls and crossbones seems to be popular immediately! Completely handmade, this is an adorable white heart with serious Emo attitude! The skull and crossbones were hand painted by me and then fired to very high temperatures in my home kiln. So never worry, the fusing glass paint will never chip, flake or peel off. This pendant measures 1 3/8" w x 1 1/4"h.

This one of a kind fused glass skull and crossbones piece is unique and original! Smooth and comfortable to wear, this girlie skull and crossbones pendant set is also lightweight and super fun to wear! Receive compliments from your friends! If you would like matching hearts with maybe different colored bows, just let me know! Great gift for friends, sisters, anyone!

To give this skull and cross bones a girlie feel, I added a pink bow to its skull head and created sparkly pink dichroic fused glass hearts. This awesome emo heart skulls and bones pendant is mounted to a sterling silver bail and comes with an 18" silver necklace.

So come visit my shop at shop called "Emo Heart" at http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmoHeart Or if you have any ideas, please post them below! I would love some suggestions!
