I had a pendant on etsy called “Genie in a Bottle.” When it sold, I found that the email address of the buyer was genieinabottle@[domain]. She clearly did a search for that phrase on the site.

Also, I once made some earrings out of tumbled glass from a beautiful green scotch bottle. When I told a lady that at a craft fair, she said, “My aunt loves scotch!” and bought the pair.

She loves things of that nature (and I do too!). If it’s got a story, then you have my attention. And I am more likely than not to buy it! Beautiful design!

Ancient symbols seem to resonate with something inside us, passed down from our ancestors. I love how you use them in your metalwork!
