I tried this smaller stamp out on the backs of our rings which worked really well.
Then I also played around with some new signature beads and the logo fit perfectly.

New Signature Beads With Our Logo
Our other logo stamp arrived from Jet Stamps last week. It is the same as the first one we ordered but this one is a little smaller (only 12 mm wide) which they were fortunately able to create for us. I am so pleased with how clear the logo is -- right down to the detail of the little curls in the letters.

Quilt Block Inspired Jewelry
For quite some time I had been studying traditional style quilt block patterns and experimenting with various methods for mixing the clay in which to give a more textile look to our pieces. Here are a few brooch-pendants and earrings we have created using a combination of several techniques.
1. Our clay colors are mixed and then formed into various shapes.
2. The shapes are then arranged to create a pattern in what is called a "cane". A special Y peeler (from Dan Cormier) is used to create nice even slices from the cane.
3. The cane slice is then formed into a jewelry piece such as a pendant, bead or earring pieces. They are all then hand "stitched" with a needle tool.
4. The findings are attached by embedding them in clay for added strength. Our signature logo is stamped for authenticity.
The pieces are then baked at a precise temperature and then go through a process of sanding and buffing.
We are happy to announce that the quilt patterned jewelry pieces shown here with an assortment of other styles are now available and for sale at Katja's Quilt Shoppe in Kamloops.

Our Logo Stamp Has Arrived!
Our new logo stamp arrived in the mail today. After reading Janice Abarbanel's blog post about the signature stamp she ordered from Jet Stamps we decided to have one done up with a new logo for ourselves. We were really pleased with their quick and excellent service.
We have a pile of pendants that we have been working on in our new designs for this spring and summer waiting to finish when our stamp arrived. Some of these pieces are special ordered and others will be for our summer shows. As soon as the backs are on and they are sanded and buffed, we will unveil our new work.
