Full Moon Loon Ceramic Magnet


This earthy sage green refrigerator magnet features a loon under a full moon. The rare earth magnet on the back is strong enough to hold up your photos and other treasures. This ceramic magnet measures about 1 1/4" in diameter.  Please visit my 1000markets.com shop to view more photos of this item.

I am also excited to be a member of two new markets at 1000markets.com!  The EarthBorn market features jewelry that reflects an organic, ancient and essential connection to the earth, and the newest, Old Town market, who's images hope to evoke those you may find familiar ... an imaginary rural western-like location anywhere, a down-to-earth small town general store atmosphere, possibly an affluent small-town popular ski-resort town, or the quaintness found in the Old Town heart of any large city.

Baroque Gold Art Nouveau Ceramic Pendant


I bought the most beautiful antique art nouveau era pewter button a while back, and with that button I made the mold for this piece. The nearly 1 inch diameter earthenware ceramic pendant has been glazed a gorgeous baroque gold color. This pendant hangs from a faux suede cord that you can easily remove should you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.  Please visit my Etsy shop to see more photos of this piece.

Druid's Egg Ceramic Pendant


This "Druid's Egg" earthenware pendant is a collaborative effort between my husband, Grizzly Mountain Arts, and myself. I am so lucky to have a master carver with a studio right next to mine! Dave carved the original Druid's Egg, then made me a wonderful mold from that piece. This pendant, which has turquoise glazed spirals, hangs from a faux suede cord that can be tied to accommodate many necklines. You can easily remove the cord if you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.  This Druid's Egg is currently for sale in my Good Dirt Jewelry Etsy shop!

Ceramic Antique Button Pendant

Ceramic Antique Button Pendant


I found the most amazing antique brass button, and from that button I made the mold used to create this unique earthenware pendant. This was one of the most challenging pieces I've made yet! This 1 inch diameter ceramic pendant has been glazed with a fun kiwi green glaze and it hangs on an 18 inch ball chain which can be easily removed should you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.


If you would like to view more photos of this pendant, please visit the listing in my Etsy shop.

A Regal Ring

Celtic Ceramic Adjustable Ring


An antique button was used to make the mold for this piece. Earthenware clay glazed with a rich baroque gold gives this adjustable ring a regal feel. You can view more photos of this unique piece at my 1000markets.com shop.

Sweet, Sweet Spring....in Blue!

Sweet, Sweet Spring....in Blue!

The cheery blue glaze of this earthenware ceramic pendant and earrings set makes me think of the spring sky in Oregon!

Like the kiwi "Sweet, Sweet Spring" set currently for sale in my Etsy shop, the pendant and earrings of this set were also created from molds made from some beautiful antique buttons. While I used two different buttons, I thought they made a perfect set :)

The 3/4 inch pendant hangs from an 18 inch ball chain. The sweet little sterling silver post earrings measure nearly a half an inch in diameter and come with two sets of backs. More photos of this set can be found here in my 1000markets.com shop.
