What's New for 2011


Now that Christmas is over, it's time to clean up the shop and get ready for the new year! For starters, on  January 9, 2011, I will be celebrating Hapa Girls - 2 year anniversary on Etsy!!!! Last year I gave away a cherry blossom charm.  This year, I will be giving away a pair of copper cherry blossom post earrings!  Check back on January 1st for the entry rules of my "2 year anniversary Giveaway."

Valentines Day

Last year I did a series of heart pendants with matching keys.  I also did a few broken hearts that had a bitter sweet meaning to me.  Because I do create a lot of my pieces from my own life's experiences, I am not sure which directions my hearts will be going.  However, I do know there will always be some "Happy" hearts in my shop.  This year, I hope to have many of my heart items "ready made" in time for Valentines Day.

Where does your inspiration come from?

I find everything in nature very inspiring, especially when it comes to replicating it in metal.  This new Maple Leaf Cuff is my latest creation.   This cuff shown here has an oxidized-polished finish.  However, I hope to make one that resembles a vibrant maple leaf with a red-orange heat patina finish.
I hope to experiment with many more flowers and foliage in the coming year.

I'm getting a jump on Christmas!

Halloween is soon to come and go! I still have the Pumpkin and the Boo pendant left in my Etsy shop.

Getting a jump on Christmas!
I have added this new Poinsettia pendant to my Etsy shop. I hope to get a smaller version made as well as a few snowflake pendants.

Work in Progress

I am almost finished with this new copper orchid pendant. The color it is now will not stay this way although it is very beautiful! Heat patinas are great but I am sure if I was trying to achieve this color, it probably would not have come out this good!!!!

The third picture is the finished Orchid Pendant with a black oxidized finish. I have highlighted the edges to show the bright copper. I think it looks nice this gun metal finish but I can easily remove more of the black to bring the copper through.
