Chickens on a Cake!

A couple months ago I sold these large (almost 5 1/2 inches!) ceramic chickens to a bride-to-be for her wedding cake. I my wildest dreams I never imagined this use for them and was tickled to hear of her chickens-as-wedding-cake-topper concept. Although this is an item that already sold, I just had to write a post about it.


Well, the wedding day came and went, and the newlywed bride sent me this photo of her cake, topped by the chickens. Isn't it adorable? (Looks yummy, too!)

She kindly gave me permission to share it here. (Photo by Plum Tree Photography)

I think it's sweet how the chickens in her photo are closer than they were in my photo.

Congrats to the happy couple!!

Wire Wrapped Jasper Pendant and Antiqued Brass Ball Chain
I wire wrapped a piece of oval shaped jasper with dark brown coated artistic wire, and added an antiqued brass bead above. It hangs on an 18" antiqued brass ball chain, with 4mm balls for a heftier look and feel.

I wire wrapped a beautiful piece of jasper with pure copper wire, oxidized it, and added two faceted glass beads for sparkle. It hangs on an 18" gunmetal finish ball chain necklace.

It's a unique piece of artistic jewelry, and the item you purchase is the one shown.

Moving Towards Jewelry-Making!

I'm moving towards something more creative - making jewelry that fairies will love! Some items with fairies on them, and many more with a magical touch that makes you feel lighter just wearing them. (I can't guarantee you'll sprout fairy wings and fly, however I'll put every bit of magic into each piece as I possibly can!)

Here are a couple of items I've listed already:

fairy necklace brass and glassAntiqued Brass Fairy Charm Necklace with Faceted Glass Beads - she'll hang around your neck and sparkle! The fairy is 1 1/2" tall, topped with some sparkling glass beads. Hop on over to my shop for more details.

Silver Colored Pewter Hamsa Hand Necklace with Glass Beads - the hamsa hand is an ancient symbol of protection. I've fashioned this one into a lovely 20" beaded necklace. I can make it with beads in other colors - let me know your favorite!
