Rocket Ship
Posted by Danielle in Fashion & Accessories on August 27, 2010
The moonstone makes this piece PERFECT. So that’s what my logo is missing… a MOONSTONE! The rocket is solid sterling silver, not something you see every day (and why you pay a bit more for it.) I like a pendant with a little heft to it, and this promises that, and some sparkle as well! So, in brief, I want this necklace. Ehehhhh.
Does anyone dream about shooting into space any longer? Transmigration to another planet? I want to look out the large bubble window and see galaxies pass by, get lost between swirling planets and stars…
So, I am so excited to finally offer my rocket ship! I’ve been wearing the original for years, hand-cut/carved/shaped out of super-thick sterling sheet. This is solid sterling silver casting made from a second hand-carved version. This is a heavy chunk of sterling silver, because I love heavy solid jewelry. Cast and hand-fabricated sterling silver with a faceted blue moonstone cabochon. Dark patina for contrast and definition. Sterling silver large bar and link chain with 1/2″ bars and toggle clasp.
Craters

Been a while since I poked around Etsy — this time I found fantastic earrings. I love the patina, especially.
Handcrafted in sterling silver, these little moons will be great for everyday, casual wear. They were first cut from sterling silver sheet, then hand stamped, formed, and treated with a patina to highlight the detail. The patina has been sealed with lacquer to protect the finish.
Star Pendants
Posted by Danielle in Fashion & Accessories on July 21, 2010
I’ve been wanting to make this post for about a month. I bought this beautiful fused glass star pendant at the Portland Saturday Market in Portland, Oregon. It’s a mind-bogglingly huge array of artisans and craftsmen, so much so that I was hard-pressed to pick something to spend my money on… until I saw Uniko Jewelry’s fused glass pendants. (I have a thing for glass.) The hearts were gorgeous, but naturally what caught my eye were the STARS, each one a bit different, all of them fantastic. Mine is teal (or purple, depending on angle/lighting) with a dash of red and black. I absolutely adore it. It’s nearly an inch wide, a bit more than a quarter-inch thick, and it comes with a very nice silver chain.
I asked the owner/artist Stephen Poon for permission to post some of his art here (and for larger pictures), which he kindly provided! There are several stars for sale on his website, and they’re all beautiful as far as I’m concerned. Please go buy one (or two or three!)
Bling From Space
Posted by Danielle in Fashion & Accessories on June 24, 2010
I love space jewelry, especially meteorite pieces with good Widmanstätten patterns (I like the fine kind, not the coarse stuff.) These beautiful seamless rings are custom-cut from a solid piece of meteorite, and they look fantastic. I would definitely wear one! The shiny! The shiny! We wants it, precious!! Space Gems™ also has some beautiful pallasite pieces, another of my favorite meteorite forms. Why is it I always like the expensive thing? Blah.
Charmed

I really have been trying to post less Star Wars things, but this charm bracelet knocked me out from a creative/beader standpoint. (I’d love to know where the silver/gold spotty beads come from. Pretty stuff!)

Spacemen Rock

I absolutely MUST have this shirt. Spacemen DO rock! (I especially love the cymbal and hi-hat details where the command module antennae would be.)

Who knew the future had such groovy faux-wood-paneling refrigerators? (Via Vintage Ad Browser.)
The Moon is Full of H2O
Posted by Danielle in Fashion & Accessories on January 13, 2010
I discovered this totally awesome shirt two days after Christmas on Shirt.Woot, and impulsively bought it. (TEN! DOLLARS! SHIPPED! Now that is an impulse-buy of VALUE!) I originally went to see it because I was told the page had modified lyrics to Walking on the Moon by The Police, and boy did it ever. I reprint them here for your (my?) enjoyment:
NASA said if there was no
Water on the Moon
They would make it BYO
Water on the Moon
They crashed an Atlas V, ka-boom
Water on the moon
Then scanned the ejecta plume
For water on, water on the MoonSome might cry
The Moon’s way up in the sky, too high
And plus it’s like super dry, but I
Would gladly suit up and fly, goodbye
And give it a tryParty up at our place
Water on the Moon
Go swimming at our lunar base
In water on the Moon
We will throw a big shebang
With water on the moon
We’ll reconstitute our Tang
With water on, water on the moon
Astronauts & Scientists Cross
Posted by Danielle in Fashion & Accessories on December 21, 2009
A lovely cross made up of Space Shuttles and Apollo Capsules:
Four figures of Space Shuttles make up body of our cross, while four Apollo Lunar Modules radiate out from the center. The space vehicles all point to their ultimate destination – the golden brilliance of the stars and the cosmos itself!
The elements of our Astronauts Cross come together to honor all those who have contributed to Humankind’s exploration of space. We honor the brave men and women of Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and the Shuttle programs as well as the early programs of the NACA that took us through the sound barrier and to the outer regions of the atmosphere. We honor all those involved in current space research and engineering such as those involved in the Constellation program which will establish the first human colony on the moon. And most especially, we commemorate our three Astronauts who died in the fire onboard Apollo1, the crews of the Space Shuttles Challenger (STS-51L) and Columbia (STS-107), as well as all the unheralded test pilots, the cosmonauts of SOYUZ 1 and SOYUZ 11, and all the others who have given the ultimate sacrifice to advance science and our quest to reach out beyond the boundaries of Mother Earth.
Part of the purchase price goes to the Astronauts Scholarship Foundation, which is pretty cool.
