A FABULOUS offer for Steampunk Jewelry in 2011!!

This is my prayer for 2011!

"Now to Him who, by the power that is at work within us, is able to do super-abundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, thoughts, hopes or dreams.....to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20,21" (Amp)

Happy New Year Greetings to you all!

I try and offer a "dramatic" discount on my wares each January, as a way to thank everyone for all your support in the past year! I think I've come up with a fun idea! Please let me know what YOU think!!

I am in the process of listing a lot of my steampunk jewelry on EBAY with a new application they have. You can now:

"buy it now"
~OR~
"make me an offer".

It's a fun new thing Ebay is doing that allows someone to actually negotiate on price! You just click on "make an offer" and type in your "bid". I will get back to you with a yes, or a counter offer! LET'S MAKE A DEAL!!

Here's my shop on EBAY!

There are some other items besides jewelry on ebay, so please feel free to make an offer on anything I have listed even if it doesn't say so. Just email me with your offer!

NOW I don't want ANY OF YOU to feel hesitant to "make me an offer". In all honesty my financial situation has changed quite dramatically in the last few months and I would LOVE the sale! If it's over half of the original price I will be happy to consider it!

SECRET HINT....If you see something on ETSY that is not on EBAY yet and you still want to make me an offer......just email me with the amount you are able to pay and we'll wheel and deal! (try and say THAT 3 times really fast!)

My Shoppe on ETSY!

Thank you ALL for being the best friends and customers EVER and I look forward to our paths crossing again soon and often in 2011! God Bless you REAL GOOD!

Faithfully yours,

MOOOOOOO jewelry!

I was looking through my vintage ephemera and uncovered some FABULOUS antique milk bottle caps! I was so enthralled with them that I decided to create some rings featuring each and every antique milk bottle cap I owned!

They all have DELIGHTFUL vintage graphics in classic colors! I hope you will enjoy wearing them as much as i did making them!

Take a look in my etsy shop for the lot and lots more GOODIES!!

Noble Studios Ltd.












Each image was carefully mounted in a wonderful (adjustable) deep bezel silver ring blank and covered with two coats of collage medium. After that was dry, I mixed two part resin and carefully poured it in. The resin magnifies the image and looks futuristic but because of the antique images still look wonderfully vintage!

There are 10 in all (see last pics) and each one is uniquely different BECAUSE they are assembled by hand. Any slight imperfections are on the original bottle cap which only add to the vintage beauty and make these truly rings that will turn heads! (ie:the staple OR the pull tab that is on the original bottle cap)

Thank you so much for looking!

The story behind Noble Studios Ltd. Steampunk Cameo Earrings

Happy April everyone!


I've been sharing some of my jewelry that have stories behind them and here's one of my favorites!

The earrings are made from actual antique cameos and there's a lovely story to go along with it!

"She waited by the window but was careful to conceal herself from the light as she did not want to appear too eager. But she was.....she was so in love with him that the very thought of him took her breath away. Every waking minute she spent dreaming about the time when they would be together again.

His parents did not approve of their love. Her family lived in a small cottage close to a section of London everyone called "The Gutter" and his family lived just outside the pearly gates of Halifax Park. His parents concern went unheeded as they spent many hours making secret plans for the future.

She was dressed in a breathtaking velvet evening gown that her mother had arranged to borrow from her cousin. It had yards of delicate handmade lace and layer upon layer of billowy petticoats that rustled even when she simply took a breath. Her ears were adorned with her Grandmother's antique cameos and she felt like a queen. He was dark and handsome and she could only imagine how every eye would be upon them as they floated into the Grand Magna Opera House.

This was the very first time she had been invited to such a lavish and magnificent place but she had no fear, as she would be with him.

As she stood there waiting for him in the shadows of her humble home she couldn't help but wonder if tonight would be the night that her life would change forever."

The illusive mermaid of Steamworks Port!

Here's a fun piece that inspired the following story snippet!

"He was just a lowly sailor but he loved everything about it. The salty sea air, the mighty, unpredictable ocean blue and even the back breaking hard work. As he stood on the bow of his ship he wished he could stay here forever but they had just pulled into the dock at Steamworks Port and all the men were expected to go ashore.

Just as he turned to go he saw her. She was exquisite.her voluptuous body glistened with the salty sea and her lovely long hair bobbed gently on the surface of the water. Her iridescent scales displayed a play of lustrous colors like those of the rainbow and were blindingly ablaze in the summer sun. Just for a moment their eyes met but then she was gone, just as quickly as she had appeared, the last tip of her shimmering tail disappearing into the sea. She was glorious, captivating, bewitching but sadly unattainable. Yet, he had not a doubt that she would be in this lowly sailor’s dreams tonight.

Little Violette and her "to do" list

Here's another jewelry design that inspired a little story snippet! Is there anything cuter than an acorn? I DON'T THINK SO....



"It was a crisp autumn day and she sat under the old oak tree that was close to overtaking their backyard. She visited her mighty friend every day no matter what the weather. It was HER place and somewhere she could be herself completely. She had gathered enough acorns to make little hats for her tiniest dolls, made the perfect daisy crown (after ruining 3 others) and arranged a row of 17 of the prettiest leaves she could find.

She decided they needed names. The red ones she named….crimson, burgundy, garnet, russet, bittersweet and ruby. The yellow ones she named….sunshine, lemon, saffron, amber and buttercup. The orange ones, since they were pretty much all the same color (and she was tired) she decided to name “orange”. The last thing on her list was to gaze up through the branches of the massive tree and watch the light from the sun, dance to and fro with every breeze."

Prince the Mighty Bull Dog!

Greetings!

I thought it might be fun to share some of my jewelry pieces that inspired me to write tiny story "snippets"!

Here's the first one! Stay tuned for more tomorrow!




"Prince pricked his ears at the slightest sound or movement. He was the best guard dog The Melbourne Estate had ever had and he knew it. Whether it was a rustling leaf, a passing animal or a person who didn’t belong there, (which in his mind was everyone) he barked his low grizzly bark to let Lord and Lady Melbourne know of each and every occasion of possible impending doom.

He was a just a small bull dog but apparently he didn’t know that. He thought he was the biggest, baddest dog that ever roamed the earth and he was pretty sure that every creature in all of London was afraid of him. Once his masters had been alerted and danger had once again been averted, he settled back into his regal dog house directly inside the front gates of the estate waiting for the next time duty would undoubtedly call him name again."
