WOW …..these are some of the most boo-tiful earrings I've ever done for more than one reason.

FIRST, this is a fundraiser. You know how I love to do panda fundraisers!!! US $5.00 of the profit from each of these pair of earrings sold, will go towards Pandas Internationals Bamboo Project (READ MORE BELOW)

SECOND…..they are absolutely as light as a feather on your ears!! This is a hard quality to find in a longer pair of earrings !! You will hardly know you are wearing them, yet they are waterproof and sturdy, created in polymer clay and shiny resin.

THIRD…this is the perfect gift item , as they come in a gift packet I designed which protect this beautiful pair of panda cubs while you are not wearing them (which will be as rare as the pandas themselves!)

I started with a square artwork I designed specifically to be cut in half to display one perfect panda in the bamboo, on each earring. A duo of coordinating pandas known as a diptych.

After permanently transferring each wee artwork to polymer clay I fire them to create the ear drop, then coat in 2 glossy hard layers of resin, encasing and magnifying the artwork . The colors absolutely pop, giving the design dimensional quality

The long slender shape of the earrings is reminiscent of a Chinese wall scroll. They frame the face sooooo beautifully. I need to get a model to wear these for me to photograph to show you what a knockout wearable art statement these are!

The ear wires are black enameled French hooks which really kick up the artsy vibe a notch. If you prefer silver surgical steel I can change them out. Just let me know!

WHAT??? YOU DON'T WEAR EARRINGS (wish I could) JUST SAY THE WORD…and I will convert this pair of earrings into TWO wonderful pendants at no extra charge!!!!

Black micro ball chains are available in my store at an additional cost of 4.95 each and ship free when shipped with this set.

Use as a FRIENDSHIP pendant by keeping one for yourself and giving the other as a gift to your bestie!!.

ABOVE IS A PHOTOSHOP GENERATED EXAMPLE OF HOW THE ORNAMENTS WILL CONVERT TO A STUNNING PENDANT

Oh how I love it when Zazzle comes out with a new product, and this one is right up my alley!! They are custom porcelain ornaments featuring some of my most popular artworks, and the design is on BOTH sides!!! I have been sitting at this computer nonstop getting 21+ designs up for you to choose from….everything from pandas to moonbears, chows to kitties and beyond!! There is something for every animal lover!

The double bonus to these gorgeous pieces is that they can be worn year round as wearable art. I am working on a very inexpensive conversion kit for you to transform your porcelain ornament in minutes, to a stunning pendant with a silver bail that will fit any chain in your jewelry box, or use your beading skills to create a necklace masterpiece. The pendants weigh less than my glass ones of the same size and are extremely sturdy , a great value ..AND waterproof!.

CLICKING ANY THUMBNAIL BELOW WILL BRING YOU TO THE ORNAMENT PAGE

I am waiting for a few supplies to arrive Monday to pull the elements of the conversion kit together and creating a video to show how fast and easy it is to do. As soon as that is done I will do another blog post and give you the link to the kit. If you order pendants/ornaments now, your pendant kit will be arriving very shortly afterward

EVOLUTION OF A CUSTOM PORTRAIT …. and pendants

“MY GIRL” a recent custom portrait of “Sassy” created for Rhonda Prince

Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well heading into this Memorial Day Weekend! This portrait commission you see above I finished recently and wanted to share a little bit about my unique painting process through a short video I did created below. This is a condensed version as the actual painting took a couple of weeks to complete . Be sure to turn your volume on if you can

Rhonda also requested a custom portrait pendant which turned out so pretty!! She can hold Sassy close to her heart every time she wears it, and the pendant is light as a feather too!! I will be listing more of my art on jewelry very soon in the store and this “MY GIRL” design (plus many more new designs) are now available in my ZAZZLE BOUTIQUE on art cards, T’s , and mugs

And below is a series of pendants which sold out in one day when I posted them on my Facebook wall Tuesday, but I wanted you all to see how cute they turned out!! This LIMITED EDITION of 10 fused glass pendants surrounded in copper tone bezels were inspired by a dear panda boy who is very special to a lot of fans here and in China..heck his fan club extends worldwide

CLICK HERE to read more about the pendant at the website

The inspiration photos for this cheerful design came from my trip to DC in 2008 for Tai Shans 3rd birthday bash and some poppy shots from my garden. A perfect fusion of orange, black and white pandaness!!

Below is an Iphone video I did yesterday showing how cute this whole batch of pendants looked carded up and ready to go to their adoptive homes today. Thank you all so much for the incredible reception to this limited edition. More “ice cube” style pendants are on the way !

And a few items are now available with the SICHUAN NIRVANA design in the ZAZZLE BOUTIQUE
