Angled view of the vintage Alpaca Mexico marked articulated earrings. The metal is silver tone in color but has a darkened patina in areas from age. The earrings have three different parts making up a fish bone design. There is the fish bone head, body, and tail that are connected with round jump rings so the earrings dangle. There are hook pierced earring findings at the top.

Back view of the vintage articulated fish bone dangle earrings. The silver tone metal is darkened from age, especially on the tail area. The back of the fish heads are marked Alpaca Mexico.

#quiltsky We finished the quilt top! I am soooo happy to be done with this top and am SO ready for some instant gratification projects. But I’m proud of my husband for being so open to learning and for sticking with it. He gets frustrated because he can’t keep up with me but he’s brand new to it 😍🎃.

Another little pumpkin listing, these aren't quite as small as my mini pumkins and are around 2 inches across and tall. These look great dotted about a fireplace.

Tests for frozen pond combos since the piece cracked.

Which one is your favorite?

#glaze #pottery #frozenpond

Ceramic fruit bowl that cracked and I used it to test combinations of glazes following the frozen pond technique.
There are 12 combinations using either black (obsidian - left side) or red (snapdragon - right side).

A handmade sterling silver Mexican modernist Sun God design brooch by the Emaus workshop of Cuernavaca circa 1950s/60s - probably by architect/designer Ernesto Paulsen Camba.

Available...

#mexicansilver #mexicanmodernism #emaus #ernestopaulsencamba #sungod #brooch

A super rare likely one of a kind vintage 1960s handmade sterling silver Mexican modernist Sun God design brooch by the Emaus workshop in Cuernavaca, Mexico also known as the Talleres Monasticos. An irregular roughly circular shape with a ring of irregular pierced sections around the rim in a hammered spiderweb of silver, all centering a round incised Sun God design with central repousse face of the god. The only example of this design that I have seen, and most of their silver jewelry is one of a kind or very few multiples. I'm guessing another one of the designs by Ernesto Paulsen Camba (1925-2006) who was a Mexican modernist sculptor/architect/designer, and who provided designs for the Emaus workshop in the 1950s and 60s. His architectural and design work was a major part of the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and he was a contemporary of Clara Porset, Van Beuren and Shoemaker, among others. Measures about 2-3/8" diameter, and weighs 16.2 grams total. Marked at back as shown, "925" for sterling silver, "Emaus" and the Eagle 3. Excellent vintage condition.
