I am just beyond excited about my magnificent hand woven Treasure Bracelet, custom made just for me, by artist Vonna Contino Maslanka!

Vonna is a jewelry and glass artist who specializes in the most unique bracelets on the planet. Her skill and eye for color are apparent in her one of a kind oh-so-unique designs!

In Vonna’s own experience with the loss of her son, she was moved to create jdMacHope, a website which provides grief support, addiction awareness and help for kids and families.

You can see Vonna’s work at:

Custom made for me, the pictures do not do justice to this bracelet. It is absolutely loaded with little treaures that reflect my own personality and taste. This one will last for lifetimes and be passed down through my family. It is a true Work Of Art!

I am fortunate enough to have my Cala Lilies work featured in the Santos and Tesoros Blog!

Rob and Tammy are the artists behind the Blog. I have been aquainted with them and their magnificent work for quite a while.  I must tell you, from first-hand experience, that they are two of the most honest and down-to-earth folks I have ever had the pleasure to know.

Rob is a self taught wood carver who enjoys studying and creating Spanish Colonial and Latino art. Tammy creates jewelry that is inspired by my love of nature and the beautiful colors she sees along the way of life both past and present.

Their work can be seen in many galleries in the Southwestern United Staes. You can also find there work online in the following places:

Roja Tierra Designs 1000 Markets

These go SO nice with the Cala Lily necklace!

Spring has “sprung” and I am in the mood for flowers!

This Cala Lily is completely hand fabricated from solid copper.

The lily petal is a heavy gauge (18 G) copper and was really a challenge to work with. I had to anneal it a few times. Annealing is the process of heating the metal which makes it soft and pliable.  When the metal is bent or worked it becomes hard, Thus, the term “work hardened”. Tumbling also hardens metal, which is something I do with nearly all of my metalwork.

Cala Lily is available in my ETSY Shop

I thought I would share with you a few personal photos. I think you can see where much of my inspiration comes from. By the way, this gorgeous peacock does not belong to me, he just hangs out here! As they say… a picture says a thousand words… A Day in the Life of Me:

Hello everybody!

If you haven’t already, please consider joining my Mailing List.  I send out emails about once a month with exclusive subscriber-only sales, news and new work.  There is currently a 25% discount, on everything in my Shop, lasting until March 21 (newsletter subscribers only).

I’m in the process of adding pieces to my website. I am designing/fabricating a wide range of affordable pieces. In this economy I want to be sure to have something available that nearly anyone can afford. We are all feeling the pinch and it is nice to know that you can still get something completely handmade, at a reasonable price,  as a special gift or something for yourself. I am always open (time permitting) to doing custom pieces to fit your style and budget. Contact me directly if you have something in mind or questions/comments.

Spring has finally arrived! Enjoy it.

Best regards,

Rebecca

Myself and Joanne Harrill created a new Market on 1000markets.com! A Market is directly analogous to a market or festival in the real world. We would love to have you stop in for a look around! Here is the Metal Entanglements Market “About Us” description:

~ News ~ Websites ~ 

I am slowly getting back to my bench to create some new pieces! I feel refreshed and ready.

My 1000markets shop is stocked with several of my Twigs Collection pieces along with some new Brooches etc… The site is looking fabulous!

I have started re-vamping Adobe Sol Designs. I have added more recent pictures to the Gallery and deleted old listings to make way for the new. The Gallery will be an area where people can make custom orders based on something I have made in the past. I will be making new pieces for sale exclusively on my website.

I am also making new components, for other designers, to list in Adobe Supplies. Be on the lookout for handmade clasps, headpins, earwires, pendants etc…

Here are a few pictures I took while out riding my local mountain bike trails. This is one of the reasons it clears my mind and rejuvenates:
