Artist Feature: Silver Dragon
Patricia is owner of Etsy shop “SilverDragon”. With a background in the arts that includes ballet, painting, drawing, and beadwork, she loves to experiment with color and texture to create her designs. She’s been creating unique works for over seven years now, and with her Etsy shop, she can proudly showcase beautifully intricate items such as the one above. This piece is her "Hot Pink Fuzzy-Spicey Beaded Necklace" and is listed in her shop for $500. Now, I don't know if anyone's ever tried working with such teeny tiny beads, but it is very time consuming and difficult, but she makes it look so easy! Each piece is one of a kind, and can be found at her Etsy shop, or her Hompage.

New Green Jewelry


I love the greens that are out for fall. I've gotten a few pieces made, and have posted them in my Etsy shop, and will be getting a lot more things made for fall in the next weeks.
This next necklace I have added to my homepage as the "Allyne" necklace and has the tiger eye beds on one, and the second one has golden jade gemstone pebbles. I love this pendant because it looks like it's just "floating". They are also available in my Etsy shop. Both of these stones are great for fall.

Tiger eye jewelry



I just posted these in my Etsy shop tonight. I guess with fall around the corner, all my tiger eye stash of beads are coming out of hiding. If you convo me before you buy them, I'll take 15% off. Just wait for a revised invoice. Thanks.

Bird's Nest Ring


This is such a fun little ring to make. It looks like three little bird's eggs "nestled" in a nest! They are listed in my Etsy shop. Each one is wire-wrapped by hand and will be just slightly different...I like to say they are "organic"--that's my favorite crafty description. I think it's a way for folk to say something may look slightly wonky than the other.

Agate Necklace and Bracelets
I've gotten a hole of some pretty agate stones and decided to make some necklaces and bracelets. They're posted in my Etsy Shop. These stones were just a pretty mix, so these are one of a kind. Once they're gone, they're gone. I can get similar stones, but each piece will be a bit different!!
