Isn't this fun? Carved by my best buddy Jessica Wiesel the last time she came to visit. It has a nice feel to it and seems pretty secure (they get tested, of course). I think it would make a fantastic bracelet clasp. It will be available in pewter.
Here's another design by Jessica Wiesel. This is my favorite of her's and I can't wait to use it in a piece with poppy colored beads! It will also be available in pewter.
My bird clasp came out nice, I thought. Its cast in shibuichi and the hooks and loops are in the back. It will be available in silver and shibuichi.
Finally, the bird carving from forever ago! I want this in bronze, since gold is too pricey right now. Its a good size, perfect for a pendant or a nice link. I may have to add this to my talisman necklace, it feels magical, somehow. This is the first batch of pieces, the next group is sea life.

Pure magic! I'm in love!
Wow. I can't tell you how much I love these! I am so drawn to winged creatures and these are some of the prettiest - can't wait to see the finished results.
Love the little bird in the nest clasp!
Wow, absolutely beautiful work!!
Delightful! All of them! My favorite has to be the Poppy clasp. I can't wait til these are available!! Please let me know when they are obtainable by online folks like me. :)
These are fantastic! I am already designing in my head. Love your work!!!
Oh so beautiful! I just love the clasp with the bird in the nest. Would love to see the whole process--in person--from carving to the finishing polish.
Lovely! I hope you'll post pictures when you make the poppy necklace - I imagine it will be much more elegant than the one I have pictured in my head.
I love them all but especially the first one! Gorgeous and very creative!
I don't know if you can answer this here, but I was making the owl project from your book and could not find any small, smooth cabochons like the ones you use for the eyes. I used a Swarovski flatback but now the owl looks too "blingy."I did a ton of Googling and looking at my regular sites to no avail. Do you mind sharing a source? If not, I understand. Thanks!

Hi Sharon,
I bought mine from Rio Grande Supply, but i think they are wholesale. I found this:

try googling garnet cabachon-its more specific.
Just so lovely!! All of them and I want the birds nest lol!
Lovely pieces -- especially that bird in the nest toggle. No idea what I'd do with it, but I just want it. Yet another thing to add to my long bead wishlists. :D
they are all really wonderful.
Thank you so much!
I will keep checking back to see when you post the bird clasps, love them!
She is so good in her craft. Those are lovely creations. I love the bird my favorite.
