Circle Square Cube Pyramid Cylinder Oval

Necklaces of Brass and Geometry, some of which are in my shop and others that will be there soon!

This is the Medusa Necklace named after the Italian word for Jelly fish because it looks like a metallic geometric Jellyfish, maybe a robotic one. It's in my shop now.

This is the Solid Brass Cube Necklace which is currently in my shop. 

These three necklaces will be coming to my shop soon. I need names for them, especially for the second one, I haven't even got any ideas for that. Do you all?

New Chevron Neckaces and NYC Trains

 

This black chevron necklace and these other two chevron necklaces have been inspired by the gate of the New York subway trains that is placed at the front and back of each train in front of the the doors (see the photo above of the 7 train) and in between the cars. Next time you are in New York take a look and see if you see it.

As you can see, the black chevron necklace looks most similar to the train gate and the other two are more loosely inspired by it.

 I need a name for these two chevron necklaces, any ideas? I will be adding them to the il gatto selvatico etsy shop this week.

New Map Jewelry

 

This bright and stunning India necklace and this cute Philly, PA necklace were recently custom made. I'm now adding them to the shop, to check them out or to order your own custom made maps go to the IL GATTO SELVATICO shop.

New Jewelry

 

This is some of the new jewelry in my shop or coming soon. Feathers and arrows and one more map necklace.

Etsy Preview/ Update: Circles, Squares, Feathers and Frames

Some of this jewelry is already in the IL GATTO SELVATICO etsy shop others are on there way so stay tuned in.

New Jewelry

I finally finished the new embroidered necklace I was working on and I felt inspired to create loads of new stuff after a couple of field trips to metalliferous were I found tons of cool brass findings. I also finally made use of some old supplies as well as making some more leather jewelry. Here are a few of the things I made. This is only a very small handful of the stuff I made, I have much more that I didn't get a chance to photograph and more ideas in my head to execute. Take a look at the jewelry that I've got so far.
























































































As a side note, I've finally started the 5th (and final) Greek Goddess painting, Athena. She's hanging on the wall in the first stages of completion (basic outline).

Etsy Preview: I Heart Tassels

These tassel and leather feather heart necklaces will be added to the shop in the next weeks and the tassel earrings as well.






















I'm thinking that I'll make a bunch of these key chains as promos for a future craft fair. Print my logo and website on the feather and I'm good to go. What do you think, is it a good idea?

Il Gatto Selvatico Mascot II

I just finished embroidering these three necklaces and I'm so excited to show them off and give you a little sneak peak of what's to come.

Etsy Preview: Tooth and Lady

While dusting I found some more stuff in Pandora's box, A molar tooth from the tooth fairy and the profile of a distinguished lady. I will be adding these two necklaces to the shop this week along with the other stuff from Pandora's box. And I will be having a 30% off moving sale starting tomorrow and ending September 27 so stay tuned in. I'm packing up and moving to New York.

Etsy Preview: Pandora's Box of Rings and Things

I found a bunch of these mini spoons and this mini pair of scissors at a little Chinese jewelry shop at Vittorio Emanuele (Rome). And of course I found the baby Jesuses at a souvenir shop along the Vatican Wall. There are two kinds, glow in the dark and pink or flesh colored. I will be adding these to the shop in the next few days. I found the ring from a Chinese jewelry stand at Porta Portese (huge flea market in Rome) and then I made a silhouette of a woman out of paper and glued it into the frame making it into a cameo ring.The rings are made from my Great Aunt Mildred's old (like herself, she's 102) button collection. (I'm not sure if I'm going to add the rings to the shop or just keep them for myself and give them away as gifts, any thoughts?)

Etsy Preview: Leather Feathers

I made 5 new leather feather earrings, but I just made one of each so now I have to make the matches to them. After I do that you'll see them in the shop.
