gold rush: a new collection...eek!

hiya everyone! what a busy weekend. for starters we got a new digital camera, yay! thanks to kristi for the wonderful recommendation! we got a canon powershot S95 and she is perfect! isn't she so pretty!

after obtaining her we drove over to the japanese garden. here are some shots of the beautiful garden that we took with our new camera. we visited the garden a while back and used our twin lens camera which you can view here. such a beautiful and peaceful place.

so without further ado, let me introduce to you my new collection, gold rush! the leather is reclaimed that i hand painted with acrylic gold paint and are accented either with a wood gold painted bead and a fossil shark tooth or heishi turquoise beads. i am absolutely in love with this collection but that is a totally biased opinion :)

gold rush triangle necklace
approx. 17" long with hand painted leather triangle, hand painted wooden bead and lemon shark fossile tooth. each one is a bit unique.

gold rush diamond necklace
approx. 10.5" long with assorted designs and heishi turquoise beads

gold rush triple triangle necklace
approx. 16.5" long with hand painted triangles finished with a small lemon shark fossil tooth

gold rush earrings
approx. 1" long with arrow design and heishi turquoise beads

gold rush bracelets
approx. 7.25" long with assorted hand painted gold designs.

i have so enjoyed making this collection and i think it really shows another side of who i am as an artist. check out the rest in my shop!
