Description Please do not favorite this piece here as I will be deleting it from this gallery in the near future. Instead, please favorite it at my jewelry gallery:

Autumn Firefox - Faery Mask Necklace
This piece, probably my favorite creation to date, is actually a double necklace comprising a choker of sumptuous, velvety ribbon and a slightly longer ribbon a shimmering, sheer shade of olive green.

This necklace features one in my series of faery mask pendants which are one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted, hand-painted , miniature masks of polymer clay. Unfortunately, this photo does not do it justice. A general view of the entire necklace can be seen here .

although this piece has been sold, there are numerous other pieces still for sale at my jewelry website: Phee Adornments!

measurements - adjustable choker is approximately 11" to 16" in length (the lower ribbon from which the pendant is suspended is a few inches longer) with handmade hook clasp; the pendant itself is approximately 1.5" in width by 2.5" in length including the bottom dangle

materials - hand-sculpted and hand-painted polymer clay Faery Mask pendant; ribbon; copper charms; swarovski crystal beads; copper wire; glass beads

Actually, believe it or not, I just finished a Raven faery mask necklace! My boyfriend's digital camera is on the fritz, so I haven't gotten to photograph it yet, but hopefully I'll put it up for sale on my LiveJournal soon! Phee Adornments

I have a curiousity... there are several things one your website that i'd like to purchase, but I don't see any means to do so. How does one contact you about pieces they'd like to purchase?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

sphinxmuse In reply to EarthboundSatyr [2006-06-05 18:17:31 +0000 UTC]

If you're interested in purchasing an item, you can leave me a comment in the Livejournal entry (I allow people without LiveJournal accounts to comment, you would just have to leave me an e-mail address so I could get back to you) or you can e-mail me directly. Or, you could even leave me a note here at DA if you like.

After we worked out the shipping charges, if you were paying with Paypal, I would send you a Paypal invoice.

Honestly? Arache's Handiwork. I've gotta wait until my next paycheck, though, which will be next Thursday.

EarthboundSatyr In reply to sphinxmuse [2006-06-07 20:50:57 +0000 UTC]

The first one. It's still 30, if I remember correctly? I'd love it if you could hold it; I could pay you for it on next Friday.

sphinxmuse In reply to EarthboundSatyr [2006-06-09 02:22:09 +0000 UTC]

Truly a beautiful necklace. I love how you sculpted the white snake-like furrow brows between the eyes. It makes the fox look more exotic.

Thank you The fox is definitely stylized somewhat.

Kaelycea [2006-06-05 08:38:26 +0000 UTC]

It's a beautiful, well sculpted piece. I have something of an interest in making jewellery, too. I bought a lot of supplies last year when I was in America (much cheaper there ), but have yet to really use them, save for a few simple hairsticks.

Again, beautiful work.

Well, it's a bit too late now. . . I sold it last night and shipped it to its new home today. At least the new owner doesn't live too far from me, I might still have a chance at seeing it!
