Edited: Art Unleashed Auction 2011 - Humane Society of Kansas City

Thank you to all who bid on little miss below. She was auctioned for $55. All proceeds go to the Humane Society of Kansas City to help those animals in need.

I love animals. I love jewelry and arts and all kinds of crafts. It's a great thing when you can combine the things you love in life.

The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City is hosting a Live and Silent Auction of original pet-themed artwork. The Art Unleashed event will take place Friday August 26th at Hale Arena beginning at 7:00p - 10:00p. They have asked local artists to donate their pet-themed artwork for this event. You'll be able to see artwork from Eclectics Gallery Members, paintings by Karrol Combs, ceramics by Melissa Moore, jewelry by yours truly, and many other types of arts and crafts.

My Donation: This isn't the best picture as I took it with my phone. The deadline for artists to submit happens to be today so I haven't had a chance to take this puppy ;) home and photograph her properly. She is made with feet upon feet of silver wire in various gauges with Swarovski Crystals in Black and Crystal AB caught in a wire net within the silhouette.Since she's a beautiful girl, she was given three freshwater pearls for her collar.

Custom Bridal Package for Natalie

I love weddings and it just so happens, I make jewelry for them. I made my own wedding jewelry and now have another wedding the create for. Miss Natalie will be getting married in May had has commissioned me to make her bridal jewelry....a necklace for herself and her 6 bridesmaids! A fantastic project!

I finished her bridal necklace a while ago (right) and have been recenlty working on the bridesmaid necklaces. They take some time since the design is a bit intricate. It is based on the Viking Weave with some gemstones intermixed. As you can imagine, 6 necklaces of the style below takes some time to make. A very beautiful necklace.

  

Example of the Bridesmaid necklaces....Natalie's will be in Pink Quartz and Jonquil.
