More Celtic Trinity Knot Shawl Pins and Ornament

I’ve been working on adding this design to our shop as shawl pins. This is the

Sterling Silver Celtic Trinity Knot Shawl Pin . It could probably work well in hair

but will only hold small amounts of hair.

And this is the Little Celtic Trinity Knot Cross Sterling Silver Shawl Pin  that would

work best on lacy light weight shawls, scarfs shrugs etc.

This design lends itself well as an ornament too!

The Celtic Trinity Knot Cross Ornament in Aluminum . I plan to add this design in

copper and as a pendant too! So much to do!

 

 

But for now there ‘s also the summer to enjoy. Our rambling roses are blooming this week.

New Celtic Trinity Knot Aluminum Hair Pin , Shawl Pin

I had a customer ask if we could do something like this with the trinity knot design.

At first I thought it would be too hard to do. But I’ve been getting the hang of

remaking this design.Embarrassingly I lost her contact information so if you are

out there and see this,

Sorry I didn’t get back to you and thanks for the suggestion!

The Celtic Trinity Knot Aluminum Pin works great as a shawl pin…

and a hair pin.

New Treble Clef Hair Sticks or Shawl Pins

I had an epiphany a few weeks ago and realized that the treble clef lends itself

perfectly to a hair stick / shawl pin design.

This is the Copper Treble Clef Stick

The Brass Treble Clef Hair Stick/ Shawl Pin

And the Aluminum Treble Clef Hair Stick/ Shawl Pin

The perfect gift for the right musician and music lover.

New Celtic trinity knot hair fork or shawl pin

This is a fresh new Celtic trinity knot fork now available in our Etsy shop.

Based on the classic Trinity knot design this hammered aluminum fork would

work great as a shawl pin or hair fork. It is very soft and flexible because it is

aluminum so it might not work well for heavy, long hair. It’s always so hard to

tell if a hair accessory will work well for your hair with out trying it on so if it doesn’t

work well you can return it for an exchange or refund. The beauty of aluminum is

that it is so light weight so it won’t feel heavy in your hair or shawl. I love working

in aluminum.

New Snail Shawl Pin in our Etsy shop

Finally getting around to adding some new stuff like this customer requested

Aluminum Spiral Snail Shawl Pin.

 

Beautiful Hair Adorned With Our Celtic Knot Infinite Swirl Cross Copper Pin

We love getting photos from happy customers showing how they use our hair

pins in their lovely tresses. This photo was sent by Lisa Cach who is a successful

and prolific romance writer. Our beautiful red locks are creatively held by our

Celtic Knot Infinite Swirl Cross Copper Shawl Pin - Hair Pin.

If you have any pictures of our jewelry in action we’d love to see them!

Lots of new jewelry in the shop!- Earrings,Pendants, Pins and more

I’ve been adding lots of new designs and stones and variations of designs into the

shop the past month. These earrings above are Celtic Teardrop Swirl Spirals Sterling

Silver Wire Earrings. They are a pretty little design I came up with a long time ago

and have just managed to get in there.

This Looping Celtic Crossed Knots Sterling Silver Pendant was a request from a

customer. It’s the pendant version of the earrings and shawl pin design.

I have to say I was pretty pleased with the way this picture came out of the new

Little Butterfly Sterling Silver Shawl Pin, Scarf Pin. It just sat perfectly on our daylily.

Ever since we sold out of our little lapis earrings and used up all the lapis beads

we had I’ve been wanting to add another lapis design - Small Lapis Lazuli and

Pearl Pendant .

Small Lapis Lazuli and Fresh Water Pearl Earrings

Long Copper Double Teardrop Spiral Hoop Earrings

Big Copper Double Hoop Earrings - Hammered Big Hoops

Owl Copper Shawl Pin, Sweater Brooch, Scarf Pin, Fastener

This was also a custom request for the

Norse Thor's Hammer Mjolnir Aluminum
Hair Stick, Shawl Pin, Scarf Pin

We thought it was a great idea!

Spring has sprung and other things

I love this time of year in our front yard. The tulips are out.

The snowbells are ringing.

The primroses are primming?

The daffodils are stanking. These are particularly fragrant ones that are kind of

a bit much for my my delicate allergy filled nose.

It’s also Max’s birthday! So we had the  traditional Wacky Bounce birthday party

for our newly 9 year old baby boy.

This was a special request extra long aluminum Celtic braid hair pin for a customer

with dreadlocks.

New in the shop- Big and small shawl pins

We have been asked often to make a large version of this design. Now we have

it as a regular item in our shop – the Large Celtic Infinity Loops Aluminum Shawl

Pin, Hair Pin. It can be used on extra long hair and super chunky knits.

One of our creative customers ordered  6 of these large pins to use as a curtain

tie backs.

I also the Little Boo-Knits Aluminum Lace Shawl Pin which is the “little” version

of the Boo-Knits Aluminum Shawl Pin . The little one would work better on light

weight lace knitting.

Gogo and Yin Yang

Nephrite Green Jade Gogo and Black Onyx Swirl Earrings
Here's another new addition to our Etsy shop made from British Columbian Nephrite Jade beads I bought earlier this year. They call this shape "Gogo".
$14 in the Stone Earrings/Pendants section of our shop.


This is a brand spankin' new design I came up with a couple of nights ago, listed in our shop yesterday and sold today. Woo hoo! I love that! It's simple yet so balanced hence the name:
Yin Yang Harmony Aluminum Shawl Pin/ Hair Pin
$18

I was especially motivated to come up with a new design because we just discovered someone copying 3 of my shawl pins and selling them in their Etsy shop. While somewhat flattering to be "discovered' as successful and worth copying it was pretty shocking to stumble upon exact copies of my designs that I worked pretty hard to come up with. The titles were even strikingly similar. I normally don't believe most people when they say someone is copying them when the designs are pretty common with commonly used beads. But these are complex wire work designs that are clearly being ripped off.
So in an effort to stay ahead of the copycat, I'll keep creating (and give her some more ideas
to steal).
And so a lovely holiday weekend winds down with chocolate chip cookies and some playdates.
