Christenia & Co Steampunk Ball Costume Contest Loot Donations

Donations are still coming in! This is from Christenia & Co.
Accessories for the men and women, her pieces are top class and high quality.
Which is your favorite one? I'm somewhat captivated by the earrings myself.

Who is Christenia & Co?
Christenia & Co. is run by a young lady in Austin, TX who holds a B.F.A in Costume Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has been selling her own clothing and jewelery designs on and off since she discovered beading in the third grade and very quickly ran out of enough space to keep all her creations to herself.

Some of her favorite inspirations often come from the likes of Jacques-Louis David, James Tissot, Tamara De Lempicka, Georgia O'Keefe, Tim Burton, Vintage Sears and Roebuck catalogs, and Japanese pop culture.

Stop by her shop today! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Christenia
Be sure to keep an eye on her shop for her new Spring 2011 pieces!
There are going to be some big changes!

Pieces in her etsy shop I am currently craving are the Crimson Zirconium & Brass Earrings and the Crimson Zirconium & Brass Filigree Necklace!

Bought a few new supplies in Houston

So on my recent trip to Houston I picked up some new supplies. I am not sure what to think of them quite yet.

A good thing is that they are not real gears but have a nice heft to them and come out cheaper for customers than real gears would. These are the first two pieces made with the new supplies.

Steamy Pirate Pendant

Halloween is approaching and I've been listening to Abney Park which has put me on a total pirate kick. More pendants and necklaces with skulls to come!

Another Christmas Stocking

I ended up trying to make a larger stocking recently. I figure I will make a variety of sizes and shaped. Right now those two are all hand stitched. My sis has my sewing machine at the moment. Oh well, good strength exercise for my hands.

New Lapel Pin Design

This is a new direction I am going with the lapel/hat/bag pins. I recently created a custom order for a German Belly Dancing Group and the pieces we similar in design. They are a little more expensive than the simple lapel pins so I won't be making as many but I look forward to getting more designs worked up.
