Perfect gift giving idea, just in time for your special occasion or holiday! Looking for a lovely keepsake or great gift? What better than offering a wish. These real dandelion necklaces fit the bill. Choose one, two, three or four seeds encased in glass. Wonderful memories of blowing dandelion fluff and making wishes when we were little. As with my real flower jewelry, I encase real dandelion fluff (seeds) between two oval glass cabochons creating a terrarium of sorts. With this pendant you can take a piece of nature with you wherever you go. I was recently told that the dandelion is considered the military national flower and is representative of children of parents in the military. It's the plant that puts down roots almost anywhere, unpretentious, survivor of many climates, the roots are strong, it's hardym, upright, and they are ready to fly with the breezes to new adventures. So, befitting of many military brats. Please keep in mind that the photographed item is a representation of what you will receive. As with all handmade, no two are ever exactly alike. PROCESS: I use the Tiffany style method of copper foiling glass, free form hand solder, apply patina and finish with a high gloss hand polish. CUSTOM/PERSONALIZED: Most all of the jewelry I make can be customized. If for example, if you would like a specific number of seeds encased to represent family or friends, I'm happy to oblige. Just leave me a note saying so in "note to buyer" at checkout.
Bayou Glass Arts, LLC
Meet the Maker
I opened Bayou Glass Arts in 2010 but didnt really get serious until 2013 when I began working my jewelry full time. The "Tiffany" method of applying copper foil and solder is the process I use in making my jewelry. There is an industrial and organic sense to both the look and feel of my work. I use the highest quality metal sensitive friendly solder (no nickel, no lead). Brass and copper are my jewelry findings of choice and my packaging is thoughtful and secure to assure your purchases arrive safely.
Custom work is at the core. Creating unique mementos or keepsakes with a personal touch, not duplicated or manufactured. I enjoy knowing my customers and working with them to create the perfect gift for either themselves or others. This personal touch and making certain the experience is a pleasant one, this matters to me.
I believe in handmade. I buy handmade and vintage whenever I can and truly feel that by supporting one another we create our own micro-economy of better quality and entrepreneurship.
