You make such interesting jewelry. :3

lol thanks hun! i'm just trying to find my lil nitch and being unique ^_^

Stuff like this is normally called steam punk because it has gears and stuff lol its very cool ^^ keep up the awesome work

The reason i didn't call it steampunk? Is because Steampunk implements the gears and such with Victorian style things. Hence was why I was leaning more towards calling it industrial.

Either way? Since I've done this and steampunk? I love the styles ^_^ And thank you for the compliment.

i have jewelery and have seen jewelry that doesn't really have a "Victorian" style to it and its still called steam punk but okie dokie ^.^

And that's awesome. :3

wow thats rly cool

Thanks! ^__^ i have to get some more stuff, but i have another idea i want to try using these things.

Ooh...I wants it. x3

Now That my dear, is an awesome compliment! Thank you! ::huggles::

*hugs back* You are most welcome. ^^ Oh how much would a piece like this run for?

i Am open for commissions!! ^__^ And i'd be happy to make one! [are you guys going to the meet next sunday?]

AWWW! Well damn. In that case, I hope you have a Great time! Jt and i are coming down this weekend, we still don't know if we can go to the meet, but we are coming down regardless. ^^

AHHH! I waaaaant it!! You do such beautiful pieces!!

Awww thank you!

hmm yanno yours would give me an idea..taking a pentacle and adding gears and such to it. that could be interesting.

Oooooooh . . .

I take you like? Yanno i can make masculine versions of this too ^^

Very cool.

I'll gladly commission you for a piece like this, Kat. :) Would you be willing to leave the necklace chain out though and instead put a clasp on the small chain loop so that it could be connected to a collar? n_n

sure can hun. I have to tell you up front though, this is a lil on the pricey side. [i'm still not used to charging for my work..it still feels weird to me o,O] But yes i will happily make one of these for you. Do you want the gears to move as well?

That's ok, I don't mmmind something this nice being pricey. :) I would expect it, actually. And definitely moving gears. I like playing with stuff like that :P

hehe Cool! I edited the submission, so if you click the link there's a video of my movin the gears ^^

After looking through some things hun, i find i don't have an exact heart like the one shown here. I do have another copper heart, and perhaps i can find something else. [oh i know i can!] but it won't be the Exact same as this one.

That's fine! It'll be more unique that way, which is cool! :D

wanna chat about this on yahoo? I'mmmmmonnnnnnnnn ^^

would you be able to upload a video of it moving? I would love to see this.

Well that depends hun. how badly do i Need to do this? Perhaps i could....after all it would be good to have as a ref for the necklace, since it is one of the cooler parts.

I'll strongly consider this. I think the only reason i'm even balking at the idea is because of how long it takes for Youtube to upload a video. and i'm on unstable wireless connection.

But we shall see. Thank you for the suggestion.

ok I made a lil vid of it. I'll edit the submission to show the moving parts :)

YAY! ^w^

ok the submission is edited. there is a link to a video. Please excuse my old looking hands and haggard voice ^^ I've not been up for a while. [ok and i have an issue about my hands apparently >,<]

That's AWESOME! I may want to buy something from you in the future =3
And your voice was adorable ^w^

Thanks! i thought it was pretty cool. Actually one of my other buyers for my first peice sort of put the bug in my ear. He said he had wished the gears moved. So...from now on, unless specified, all my pieces with gears and such, if it's possible. Will move!

and thank you for the compliment!

^___^ Thankies!

oooh and heres another idea I cam up with just now!
Might be a pretty complicated challenge to try, but what about using a watch battery to make it move on it's own? =D

That IS a good idea, but that is also Extremely complicated. that requires knowledge i don't have in any way shape or form. However.....it will be something that down the line i may look into.

it's quite nice miss.

:) thank you very much.

I really like this one Kat ^^ Tis an awesome design and really nicely put together.

Aww Thanks hun. :) I like these too, the hard part is for me to part with them. Most are very unique, there won't be another one quite like it.

Wow this is like steampunk style very nice

[I cannot beleive I've missed these comments! Imma bad kitty :(]

Thank you very much. I'm trying my hand at steampunk, getting a feel for it. I really like the style, and how i can make my pendents from scratch rather than buying some random pendent at a store.

love can tell time 0.0

Love can tell time, and direct you where to go. Although sometimes the mind chooses Not to listen to the heart. It happens. :)

I want one ;n;

^_^ always up for commission hun. Although i don't have That heart any more, i can still make one similar.

OMG KATALINA THIS IS AMAZING!

Awww thanks :)

this is beautiful! you make some pretty neat stuff. ^.^

aww thanks bunches! [i'm sorry i didn't get to this sooner, to be honest? it never showed up in my comment thing! o,O]

how much do you make these for? i love them! ^^

It mostly depends hun. The base price starts at 50.00, and since everything is unique, no 2 are the exact same., so lets say you wanted the Compass heart, I would have to find a heart similar to this one, and of course the gears and such. The end result would be about 65.00 not including shipping and handling.

oh yeah i wouldnt expect them al to be exact. just meaning things like this with gears n such ^^ thanks! n i love the jewelry! :)

hehe kewlies :) Thank you very much ^__^

I would love to own jewelry like this :Q___

hehe well I do sell what I make :) Gonna be working on some new stuff soon too. ^__^

Oh really is this still up for grabs then? I'd love to snag it quick question what kind of metals do you use? (curious because I'm allergic to nickel x3)

oh no that one has been sold, while I can make one Similar to it, it won't be exact as I wouldn't be able to get that exact heart anymore. As for metals, I use whatever it is the customer wants for me to use. If i'm making it to sell non comission, it's copper, silver, gold, silver plated, I think some nickle [though i do try to stay clear of that.]

I do special orders though. I only want Good reactions from my customers ;) not bad or allergic reactions ^^

Oh nice do you have a price sheet or anything?

Actually I do not, the reason for this is because each peice I make is very unique, and the prices vary on the cost of material.

Now in This case? I have some of what I'd need, gears and such..however, due to the allergy, I would want to make sure everything else, the stuff Touching your skin would Not be metal. So, like I would order copper chain [unless you're allergic? then something else...] and then we'd find a base [preferably filligree ] pendant that would work. Orrrrrrr [and this is even better ] we check out what is at michael's since we got all new things in ^^ and see if there's something there that will work. [i work at michaels so I get a little discount ^^]

In the end, time, labor and of course materials may end up being about 50-ish...of course I'm trying to keep costs down, I know my steam-punk stuff is kinda pricey.

I also have an Etsy store that you're welcome to check out. The link is on my front page at the bottom. There is also something of a price list there too on my front page.
