The first time I used mine was on a camping trip at Strawberry Bluegrass Music Festival.
I'd never camped alone. SO...I bought myself a 12 person, red tent that you can stand up in, a queen size air-mattress, my down comforter, a bottle of Patron tequila, and a vessel to hold hot water around the clock! I laid my Arabian Nights rug in the center...picturing a man who's whisking away his princess upon the back of a racing horse!
Anyway...I could never have set my camp up in this location, because there were some 5" stumps that needed to be cut lower in order to have flat ground. I used the knife numerous times, and the pliers to help untie knots.
Women keep them in the kitchen so they don't have to run to the garage every time they want one of these tools. People keep them in their cars...I am told to break the window in case they get stuck in a lake. We at Studio Nouveau think it's a better idea to avoid driving into the lake! I keep mine in the glove box too...to cut open fruit on road-trips, fix my broken jewelry, or in case I need to tap on my starter, should it go on the blink!
These are one of the hottest gifts we carry at Studio Nouveau. They make great stocking stuffers, and are well received by those guys who are difficult to find gifts for. They are also the right price, at only $25.00.
The pouch comes with a Velcro-close pocket on the backside...to hold extra nails, screws, toothpicks, or even your favorite chewing gum!
Measures 5-3/4" Long
2-3/4" Wide
Sophia`s Liquid Metal Ring Sophia loved life. She was not afraid of much...and took on the world as if anything was possible. When she decided to study sculpture, everyone said,"Why would you pursue sculpture, you won't be able to do anything with that!" Sophia disagreed. For her, life was sculpture...and everything she looked at was art; from the sadness of those who suffered, to the changing colors and forms of fruit, the sound inside a tunnel, or the way people's hair looked when they got up in the morning. She considered the world beautiful, and dressing herself, one of the delights of being alive.
One of her favorite rings, was one by Sergio Gutierrez, famous sculptor of the cool, exciting and downright wicked line called Liquid Metal Jewelry. She had one in every color. The best quality crystal money could buy, Swarovski. The fine, silver plated ball chain used in these pieces is soldered and antiqued for a wonderful affect. They are flexible laying down, but do not stretch.

Angelica`s Liquid Metal Ring Angelica wears rings to suit her mood. This is the one she chooses when she feels the need for a little more strength. You see her friends and family all think she's the solid rock they can depend on. Men are mostly afraid of her because she just does what she wants...and finds success through her innocent pursuit of those endeavors. She is sometimes a bit intense to people who aren't used to her forthrightedness. The combination of all these facets will occassionally get her into trouble. Because through all her strengths, there is also frailty. So she sits and cries, writes and talks to her cat. When she looks at this ring on her finger, she remembers to be herself...because that has been what's carried her through life so far...without fail.
A creation by Columbian designer, Sergio Gutierrez, for his Liquid Metal Jewelry collection of unique, fun, and strikingly fabulous art to wear. Mesh jewelry made of nickel plated ball chain, Sophia's Ring is slightly flexible when you wiggle it on and off.

Lucia ~ A Liquid Metal Necklace A Latin word, Lucia means light.
We gave this beautiful name to one of our favorite Liquid Metal Chokers.
One of my favorite themes…light is wisdom. Light is understanding. Light is the absence of darkness. We are all made of light, as is everything around us. And if that doesn’t stir your imagination, try the idea that all of those electrons making up that light have consciousness. A lofty concept when you ponder it further! Especially if you begin projecting beautiful thoughts from your stream of consciousness, into the world. Speak them out loud. Sing them. Wait and see what happens!
Lucia is a perfect choker. It is the sister to the ‘Lauren’s Answer’ bracelet.
From the Liquid Metal Jewelry, Classic Collection, this piece travels well, with boots, jeans, heels, or a georgette suit.
It is smashing!

Mesopotamia ~ A Liquid Metal Bracelet ~ Sergio Gutierrez was in a good mood the day he came up with this one... Surely, he had just awoken from a dream where he ran through the streets of ancient Mesopotamia, and nearing the face of Medusa, the snake haired guardian-protectress who would turn those who gazed upon her to stone, he kept running.
Worry not. Sergio returned to us to create our Mesopotamia...known to draw and keep the attention of everyone in the room!
Not for the meek, or mild dis-positioned. Mesopotamia, like the cradle of civilization of the ancient world, is a Liquid Metal Bracelet to contend with.

Ship`s Candlestick Silver Plated Once...about 15 years ago, I traveled to Italy on a tight budget. I wandered into a medieval town with many towers, which hovered 1000 feet above sea level, just South of Florence, and North/West of Sienna. Above the rolling hills of Tuscany, San Gimignano was a thriving Etruscan center in 200-300BC. It began its life as a town in the 10th century taking its name from the Holy Bishop of Modena, St. Gimignano, who is said to have saved the village from the barbarian hordes.
I climbed to the top of the cobble-stoned village, and discovered a little antique shop with a sweet little old man. I had never been so enchanted! I left with one of the greatest treasures of my life. It was a wall mounted Ship's Candlestick that pivots with the movement of an ancient sailing vessel, in order to remain level. As a result of this particular feature, it doubles as a table-top candlestick.
Not long after I left, I began regretting not buying the sister piece; though I'd already spent two days of my food budget on the first one. For eight years, I regretted not buying that matching piece, until finally, I opened my shop, Studio Nouveau. On my first buying trip, I raced with great anticipation, back to the little old man in San Gimignano to see if, just maybe, the sister candlestick was waiting for me.
Much to my surprise, it was!!! The little old man told me that this was a reproduction of an Etruscan candlestick...now being reproduced in Florence. It remains a personal favorite of all my hunts for "Objects of Beauty".
I use six of them at home...one on each side of my arched window, two on the tables at my bedside, one in the kitchen, and one in the living room, which I carry when the power goes out, or during my candlelit dinner parties.
These are my favorite gift to give couples...because they appear to be loved, universally, by men and women. They also come in antique brass. (Find them listed separately.)
Our Del Mar, solid and richly colored beeswax candles are beautiful in these candlesticks.
The bad news is that this company has gone out of business and we now have very limited stock of these. BOOOO! Measures 10" tall.
4-3/4" Wide at base.
Molded hook on base adds 1/2".
Wall Mount or Table Top
Flinging Arrows Liquid Metal Bracelet Darting from the concrete jungle to the serenity of the coast...over the rolling, golden hills of California...her hand rests on the sill of the blue Thunderbird, her Liquid Metal bracelet catches the sun's rays, signaling the road ahead that she's coming... wearing her Flinging Arrows. This is a bracelet named after one of our favorite pastimes, archery.
This is also known as Skyler's bracelet, because Skylar White wears two of them on her one wrist on the TV show 'Breaking Bad'. When you buy two of them, we'll give you free Priority Shipping on domestic orders. It's called Skyler's Shipping!

Psyche ~ A Liquid Metal Choker "I live with him", she wrote...
"He is much like Tarzan in character, spending most of his time on the land, amidst the birds and elements. His hands are brown from toiling the earth. He runs like a mountain lion, with passion and purpose filling his lungs so fully, the wind heats them. He flies past my windows so that I catch only glimpses of his tall, tanned body. His beard is mountainous. His eyes are the trees. His labor is home.
When he feels my approach, Gabriel withdraws, crouching behind trees. I feel his presence, constantly, and intensely. A couple of years ago, I reached out to him, seeking to connect. I must have pushed too hard. Perhaps my curiosity broke his trust, I do not know. My mountain man slid back into reclusive shadows. At first I felt offended by his behavior, and then something came to me:
In our last life together, I did something (which I don’t now remember) to upset him so terribly, that he vowed silence for not only that life, but for the next one. Unfortunately, he is very stubborn and willful, and has stood by that vow. What he didn’t remember was that we are soul mates. Being such, he cannot control what happens in our dream time...which is where we now meet. More often than any other entity and quite often, Gabriel meets me in that dream world dimension. He’d forgotten what I mean to him when he made that vow, you see. He holds me sometimes... as he if he will never let me go. He reminds me that I am his life. And he says such things with a look. So much of our communication is gestural and telepathic. It is instinctual, and feels skin close to Mother earth, and so right; so correct...that I would forfeit, if I was able, speech...just to be with him.
Though I am whole, he is the missing part of me. It is his polar energy which fills me...and so quenches my psyche. And as I am telling this tale, I have just stumbled upon the story of a beautiful princess loved and visited by Cupid at night, who tells her she must not try to see him. She is Psyche, the personification of the soul!"
