Eldritch Artifacts

adornments for dark hearts

[eldritchartifacts]

I've been spending most of my time getting ready for the @tucsonodditiesmarket this weekend, but took some time out to work on a couple of customs for a lovely lady, and sending this beautiful dragon vein agate ring off to its new home as well 😍 . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #jewelersofinstagram #handmadejewelry #silversmith #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry #gothicbeauty #gothy #darkjewelry #stregafashion #gothjewelry #dragonveinagate #dragoncaller — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2CBoJ7C

Cranking up the production line! I'm determined to bring as much cool jewelry to @tucsonodditiesmarket as I can, so I've been just hammering away at it, rarely coming up for air. How do you deal with a long to-do list? . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #coffincabs #spookyjewelry #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2MaJZFN

About to send this amazing coffin pendant to its new home. I seem to be doing a lot of pendants lately, but I'm enjoying working on different things! Making my own jump rings has been an education 🤣 . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #coffincabs #coffingems #pendant #necklace #onyx #facetedcabochons #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/30M0DkQ

It's bezel day at Eldritch Hall~ Today's shenanigans include customs and the start of a biggish collection for the @tucsonodditiesmarket in November, which should be fantastic. I'm sharing a booth with my beloved @3quartermoon_creative - we're gonna have so much fun! Who's planning on going? . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #labradorite #garnet #lapislazuli #marcasite #onyx #obsidian #coffincabs #coffinrings #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2TIJi9J

where I’ve been

Wow, it’s been a minute, huh? I’ve had a hell of a year, y’all — and it’s not even lose to over.

So I’ve been plugging along, working hard to make gorgeous artifacts and improve my skills, and it’s been rewarding. I’m currently working on a set of customs for a darling, darkling fae-type, and soon I’ll start making stock for the Tucson Oddities Market (FB / IG) in November! Super excited about…

where I've been

Wow, it’s been a minute, huh? I’ve had a hell of a year, y’all — and it’s not even lose to over.

So I’ve been plugging along, working hard to make gorgeous artifacts and improve my skills, and it’s been rewarding. I’m currently working on a set of customs for a darling, darkling fae-type, and soon I’ll start making stock for the Tucson Oddities Market (FB / IG) in November! Super excited about this. I’ll be sharing a booth with my dear friend and favorite maker, Shawn of 3Quartermoon Creative. You should come! It’s gonna be great.

Everything is taking way longer than usual, though, because my dad died two months ago, after a stupid accident that probably led to a fatal blood clot, and ever since, my world has been upsetting and depressing and terrible. I’ve been in a pretty dark place since that terrible June day. Some of you might remember that we lost our mom a year and a half ago at Christmas, so I’ve been grieving for both of them, and it’s dreadful and exhausting.

miss you so much, dad

But wait, there’s more! When we found my dad’s will, we learned that I was named Executrix, and I don’t know if you’ve ever shepherded a will through probate, but it’s time-consuming and overwhelming. And if that were not enough, my brother and I also inherited my dad’s business, and jumping through all the hoops to actually take over and start running it is also time-consuming and overwhelming.

So it’s been a rollercoaster of a year. I’m trying to extract all the good I can, and surround myself with loving and positive people, but there are still some days when I can’t haul myself into the light. I super appreciate everyone’s patience and support while I work through my grief and stress.

I normally sell about one piece a month. I've sold 3 in a week! That's a good feeling 🖤 Sending this luscious marcasite coffin to its new home ⚰ . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #coffinring #coffincabs #coffingems #marcasite #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2YSBHGy

Sent this lovely rhodonite ring to its new home in Australia! This is my first jewelry sale outside North America - should I do another map, like I've got for my button biz? It wouldn't be nearly as interesting yet, with just a couple dozen sales 😁 . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #rhodonite #ancientstars #ancientstarscollection #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2YJbiir

Sending my favorite skully ring to its new home! This was my first attempt at a more complex bezel, and I'm super proud of how it came out 😊 . . . #Silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #howlite #skullring #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2yrndmi

Gah! I can NOT get the stupid shank soldered to the stupid backplate. Everything else came together like a dream, but this bitch of a shank has failed four damn times. . . . #wip #silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/32E9xCu

I've been trying to find my smithing mojo, which seems to have withered with the loss of my dad, but I still need a creative outlet, so when my friend @tommi.with.an.i asked for help shooting & editing videos for her upcoming YouTube channel, I jumped on it. Haven't done much editing recently either, so this is a nice stretch of the ol' nonlinear muscles 😊 . . . #silversmithing #ladysmith #notcurrentlysmithing #videostar #editingvideo #youtube #transingsohard #purplehair #gothgirls — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2LLGdUm

Got the purple dragoncaller ring into the shop ~ link’s in my bio, as you probably guessed. I deliberately made it larger than I can wear, because I wasn’t going to let it go otherwise 😜 . . . . #dragoncaller #dragonveinagate #purpleagate #statementring #purplestone #silversmithing #ladysmith #cabochons #cabochonaddict #instasmithy #artifacts #ooakjewelry #goth #gothgoth #gothstyle #strega #darkmori #witchyjewelry #forestwitch #fae #darkaesthetic #darkjewelry — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2HR4AO5
