Worth noting: some of my prices have changed since uploading them months ago. I've done more thinking on proper prices, and I'll post the newer - and perminant - prices soon.

So, I've been busy dealing with COVID for... Over a month. That's been fun.

I'm all good now, just trying to get the motivation to get back to it.

One of the tiers I’ll be offering on my Kickstarter for PIRATES: A GRAPHIC HISTORY is the chance to name a pirate ship. Your name, your mom’s name- any name you feel best captures a ship full of murderous thugs. Get notified when the campaign goes live at www.kickstarter.com/projects/sil...

Who knew painting miniatures as a hobby would actually turn out to be helpful?

Managed to engrave in some stuff on the inside of some rings! What its made of, maker mark, that sort of thing.

All done with an electronic engraver and my hands/eyes!

Batten down the hatches, twice so! The storm approaches port side...

This dual-band ring is handmade, soldered together from sterling silver 2mm wire; darkened in the crevasse to make it pop.

Interested? Email or DM me!

I got a new wax stamp, thanks to a seller on Esty! Now I can have a proper seal on packages I send out 🏴‍☠️

Day 10 of trying to partially restore an old trunk to sell jewelry out of. (@deckhandjewelry.bsky.social)

For the most part, the chest is done! There's a few other things to do, the main portions of it are complete.

Day 8 of trying to partially restore an old trunk to sell jewelry out of. (@deckhandjewelry.bsky.social)

I took some rust off the back a couple days ago. But I can't do more at the moment, so I've begun some of the decor.

Learned how to tie a sailor knot and whip the end of a rope for this!

End of day... 6(?) of trying to partially restore an old trunk to sell jewelry out of. (@deckhandjewelry.bsky.social)

I had finished the wood a little while back but forgot to post about it.

Today I was focusing on the top, removing just and shining-up nails to highlight the chest as a whole.

Got more done today by using the correct grit of sandpaper this time. Started later, so didn't do to much.

Day 2 of trying to partially restore an old trunk to sell jewelry out of. (@deckhandjewelry.bsky.social)

I removed as much of the parchment/veneer as I could by hand, and now I've resulted to starting to sand the inside to get rid of the rest.

Really pretty!
Along with shells I also work with beach stones, and this was one of my favs. Paired with this recycled glass bead, it really stood out. My hunch was it would sell quickly, and indeed it did.

Trying to take the old parchment out of it. It's damaged and super thin, plus I want to sand the wood and slather it in linseed oil to protect it. This'll take a while...

What's this? A letter?

Is it for you?

Hello Bluesky! I hope I can share my work and make some new friends here. I'm endlessly inspired by nature and especially the little things I find on my beachwalks, like stones and shells. Here's a look at some shell necklaces I've made.

Are you having a good summer so far like this pirate? I’m in Ireland and actually visited a shipwreck. It must have been cursed, since I then got Covid.

Already gotten my first customer, and they're international!

First stop, the UK!

Sleek, simple, a classic. There isn't too much to say about this ring, but that doesn't mean it won't stand out on your hand! Cut, soldered, and smoothed all by hand!

If you'd like to have one made for you, email or DM me!

Should I be posting how much the rings are? I feel like that'd get people's attention more, maybe...

Still learning the ropes of online marketing

Beaten, battered, darkened... And yet, so smooth to wear. This ring is handmade: so no two rings are exactly the same! Optionally, they can even have small holes in them for more variety.

If you're interested in having one made, email or DM me!

They're simple, elegant, adjustable, and I'll be selling a few of them at an up-coming market in Kingston! Let me know what you think of them.

They'll be at a combined table with Wares From The Woods from @peach-moss.bsky.social

Alright! Time to give this a whirl...
Already feels weird posting as a business rather than as a person, but I gotta get used to it.
