    Spidey is beautiful. The way you've attached her to the chain is ingenious and I love how the piece hangs as a result. She is one elegant arachnid!

    Copper rose vine pendant

    That is an absolutely brilliant use of mixed metals, which in my opinion can be a tricky thing to do. Love his teeth!

    I can't even get my head around how tiny those are. They're just lovely, especially the grain and glow of the wood.
