Goddess Bracelets for celebrity mothers, Mother's Day 2013

Goddess Bracelet with amazonite, Swarovski crystals, gold filled beads, and metal clay charm

In keeping with my love of Goldie Bronze metal clay, I created these lovely bracelets using some amazing Amazonite beads.  I love the summery, fresh shade of blue in these beads!  The Goddess Athena charms were created using metal clay.  These bracelets were gifting to so many fabulous celebrity moms via The Artisan Group, I can barely believe it!  I am so excited about this opportunity and I hope to see my bracelet out and about in Hollywood, or anywhere for that matter :)

Kathryn Designs: Return of the Blog, Gifting Renee Zellweger

Catching up! My last post was in February and here is is almost June already. I've been happily trekking along in my adventures with metal clay and somehow got lost in the basement with my kiln.  No time to post!

A few months ago, I gifted the beautiful and talented Renee Zellweger two of my new metal clay creations, via The Artisan Group.

I chose to create delicate pieces, as I noted that she seems to favor understated jewelry. Both pieces were created with Goldie Bronze metal clay.  The bangle has four pink CZ stones, and the initial necklace is a simple, classic style that I thought she might like.  

I was so excited when the founder of The Artisan Group shared with us the lovely handwritten thank you note she received from Rene! Her thoughtfulness and consideration was a beautiful surprise. 

I have added several new metal clay designs to my website, and have been honored at the great response from my customers!  Click on the link beneath the photo to visit my website and check out some of my creations.

A gift for Tyra Banks and a new website for me

There are many good things brewing here at Kathryn Designs!

I have once again been given a great opportunity via The Artisan Group.  I recently sent this gemstone and mixed media necklace for a special gift bag for lovely Tyra Banks.

I used a gorgeous champagne CZ and added a vintage inspired beaded chain.  I hope she likes it! 

Today, I launched my new website,kathryndesignsjewelry.com, which will replace my Artfire shop.  I have loved being a part of the Artfire community, but I decided it was time fly from the nest.  For the time being, if you visit my old shop, you will see a link to my new site.  I took all new photos for my shop, so it was quite a project!  I am happy to be back in the studio today, creating some new pieces.  

Here is a sample of one of my new photos:

I hope everyone is having a great summer and staying safe and cool!
