When it came time to pick a featured shop for August, I was torn. I looked through each and every shop of our members, wavering between original paintings, amazing artistic photography, and unique jewelry designs, just to name a few. Rather than feature only one of our diverse array of talents, I went with accessories as a theme and gathered a few of my favorites into a treasury to share.
Two of my choices deserve to be highlighted because of the striking and/or unique pieces they create. Flowerandpearlstudio’s Peggy Hamlin handcrafted quite the frog prince whom I just couldn’t bear to leave out, despite the fact that he falls no where in the category of accessory. Although molds would be easier, Peggy sculpts and
and glazes each individual piece in her shop by hand, making my little frog prince a unique work of art.
The most striking piece in the treasury is an exquisite Guinevere Inspired Celtic Pendant by Royal Rocks. The clear blue cubic zirconium set in the elegant swirling silver wire had me at hello. I cannot wait to see what else this shop comes up with!
Each piece in this treasury is a work of art; what better way to express one’s individuality than with unique hand crafted accessories? View the full treasury here, or peruse all our members’ shops through our team member list on Etsy. This is one team in Cincinnati we can be proud to cheer for!
