| Since the turn of the century, The Painted Lady has been creating one-of-a-kind handmade wire-based jewelry and gift items. * Yarn and Synthetic Hair Falls * Wool Dreads *Bracelets * Earrings * Rings * Cuffs * Pendants * Necklaces * Anklets * Mobiles * Suncatchers * Wine Glass Charms * Hand-tied Rosaries * Special Orders * Gift Certificates |
| Yarn and Synthetic Hair Falls, Wool Dreads These falls are meant for those with a real sense of fun and maybe a little secret desire to try out some dreads without the permanence. I build falls on several bases: * Ponytail Elastics (made in pairs, usually) * Clips (medium pairs or large singles) * Barrette: Large "snap" style or small and simple spring-steel * Tie-in * Non-slip Elastic or Traditional (hard) Headband * Cotton Beanie (hat) Seen on extremely stylish heads everywhere, these are awesome for a wild night out on the town, visiting a Ren Faire or bellydancing extravaganza, Burning Man, covering a bad hair day or a wretched haircut or as an alternative to boring hairlike wigs post-chemotherapy. HAVE A BALL! TRY A FALL TODAY! Falls are $30 for mixed media If you need 100% organic (i.e. for fire play) they are $40 Wool dreads vary in price I will happily offer special orders including length, color and desired thickness. I want these to please you to wear as much as they please me to make. THINK FUN! |

| Chain Bracelets, Necklaces and Anklets Individually wrapped beads are chained together to make a more visually delicate, yet still wearably durable, style. Most styles are totally adjustable in size, although they can be made to a specific length per your preference. All colors and bead sizes are available. Chainwork pieces are $15-50 |
| Bracelets Bracelets are braided wire and can be made plain, with a center bead, with a single charm or with multiple charms in a "dangle bangle" style. The wire touches the skin minimally, so this is a good design for those with metal allergies. I use just about anything that catches my fancy to make my bracelets: trade beads, glass, vintage, lampwork, seeds, semi-precious stones, metal, bone...the sky is the limit! Closure is a handmade stylized hook and eye that faces outward. Sizes vary and I do make smaller children's sizes for a discounted rate. Braided wire bracelets are $20 |
| Earrings Earrings are made on sterling silver French hook wires with a wide variety of materials. Most bracelets can be made with matching earrings and sets are discounted. Earrings are $10 Matching Bracelet and Earring set is $25 |
| Pendants Pendants are wire-wrapped and each is unique. They come with an adjustable length of black cord. Also included in pendants: Adopt-A-Squid! Silly Squids are made from shell and assorted beads. They make great pendants, zipper pulls, fan pulls, rearview mirror buddies, ornaments - they'll pretty much go anywhere you want them to! Squids come named and with an assortment of hobbies. Some squids have more "mature" hobbies. Pendants are $5-$10 Adopt-A-Squids are $10 |
| Rings Rings are sturdy wire wrapped everyday wear kicky-fun in a tiny package! I call them "jeans rings" because they can be dressed up or dressed down with ease. Built of jewelry wire, these rings are very forgiving of abuse and won't turn you green. Rings can be made on sterling silver wire for an additional cost. Rings can be made in sizes 5-13, I will make half sizes. Rings are $10 Sterling wire rings are $15 |
| Cuffs Cuffs are one-size-fits-most works of wearable art. Each one is unique. You squish the piece until it's comfortable and fitted. My weensie sister actually wears one as an arm band. For most of us "normal and beyond" types, these are bracelets. Cuffs are $15 Armbands made in this style are available upon request |
| Rosaries These rosaries are hand-tied and most are historically accurate to the 18th Century, which is not a huge selling point, I'm sure, but interesting nonetheless. If you intend to use these for prayer they will need to be blessed. Rosaries range in price from $15-$50 If you would like something specific, I do offer special orders on these. |
| Mobiles and Suncatchers Large, small, for any space or configuration. These are all individual and most are made to order. Mobiles can be made with windchimes or bud vases. Prices range from $15-$50 |
| Wine glass charms come in sets of 4 and are adjustable aperture. Let me know your theme and I'll match it. Wine charms are $20/set of 4 |
| All items are one of a kind, so special orders are the way to go.

I look forward to working with you one on one to make the perfect piece for your needs. |
