Andrew’s passion is twisting Rings! Yep, that’s what he say’s:

“Twisting Rings”

He specializes in high quality handmade chainmaille creations in silver, copper, bronze, aluminum, and jeweler's brass

I have been forever partial to this one 

https://handmadeartists.com/product-details/Chainmaille/Bracelets/Full%20Persian%20Bronze%20Chainmaille%20Bracelet/?pid=20120707192623a0b92

Chainmaille is an ancient art that dates back before the 5th century.  The process involves interweaving rings of varioussizes into intricate patterns to create wearable metal art.  In ancient times, chainmaille served the useful purpose ofprotecting soldiers in battle; but, since there are very few jousting matches happening on modern streets, chainmaille

has evolved into wearable art. ChainmailleByMBOI creates pieces using a variety of metals including Sterling Silver,Copper, Aluminum, Brass, and Bronze.  He states, almost any pattern that you see can be created from a different metal so if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact him and he will be happy to begin a

special order for you.

Love, love this one....and he calls it just twisting rings, I cant even bend one of them.....(smile)

I really am only touching the surface here,I cannot imagining what else he does in addition to all this. My presentation here is just a humble sliver of his talents.

For Kimberly Makin the Best Of It began as a hobby and grew into a business. She wanted to create something beautifulthat was useful as well...and custom glass painting began! Add to the fact that she is lucky enough to live along the

New Jersey shore and has access to the most wonderful sea glass, another addiction was born. Sea glass Jewelry was born.

 

Her handpainted glass art you can find now on her own website and I love these, since I am into music

She is living and breathing handmade, in addition Kimberly has become a friend, we share some German roots and that is really special to me.

Violin Handmade Shabby Mosaic Wall Art Center Piece Music Gift Chic

A Violin, handmade china Mosaic, broken china mosaic Violin. Violin Wall Art, Wall Hanging. This piece of art is created in the shades of pale green mostly. One could swear this to be a vintage find, a lovely Violin, fabulously executed with a handmade cut Mosaic from vintage china plate rims and stained glass.

A gift for cherished friends, family or a donation to your local Symphony Music Auctions to help the community. This violin just glows with luscious roses and more, awaiting another curtain call. Maybe with You? I primed and painted, distressed this violin in Cottage White, the mosaic is sealed, - it's looks have drastically improved.

This violin is meticulously mosaic-ed with the most beautiful, hand cut china plate rim mosaic tiles. Cascading lush blooms and roses on some of my favorite vintage bone china/porcelain dinner and breakfast plates were cut into a very beautiful mosaic tesserae to cover this violin; mosaic tiles from Royal Albert and others. The hour glass "waist line" on this violin is embellished with a focal and surrounding tiles. The violin is filled in with white, pink and pale pink stained Glass tiles.

All china plates used here are in very subtle shades. The strings on this beautiful art piece are a set of pale green pearls. The tail piece is accented with handmade clay roses and some bling. This is a gift that everyone likes to receive, music lover and others alike.

I finished this violin with a very light antique white colored grout to give it even more charm and a finished look. This vintage violin was rescued from a thrift store, unplayable, it's curtain calls long gone...but - finally! For a festive center piece and those spots that need a little shining, a dazzling handmade mosaic has been applied to this violin. A master piece transcended...what a gift for the right person. Thank you for looking.
