Shop of the Week: FableAndFury.etsy.com

I have eclectic tastes and draw inspiration from vintage styles, nature, fairy tales like the Brothers Grimm, and beautiful little beasties. Often I find myself daydreaming about living in a tiny cottage deep in the forest. Running away with the circus would be splendid too! I think these flights of fancy are often reflected in my jewelry.
I have a background in graphic design & illustration, so creating silhouette and portrait jewelry is a tangible way for me to connect with my design ideas while making unique pieces of wearable art. Drafting a new design for my jewelry is similar to designing the type of graphics I've been accustomed to creating, but now I can create a visual narrative in simple lines and embellish to my heart's desire, making Fable & Fury jewelry designs uniquely mine.

Zombies, Pirates, Rats, & Cats!

It's been a little bit since I last updated this blog! I haven't gotten any sleep for a few days, so please excuse this entry if it's less than eloquent tonight, lol!

I'm really getting into the mirror face pendant necklaces, and I think I'm going to be on this kick for a while ;) So far I've created bats, and cats, and puppies; and now to add to that collection I also have a zombie, a pirate, a rat, and a new kitty with a fishbone rather than a tail! The pirate and zombie are part of my "Have a Nice Day!" spin-off pieces, and they are each "Have a Nice Plunder!", and "Have a Nice... BrAAaaIIiiNS!" respectively.

Take a look at the listings for these new pieces by clicking on each photo!
