ArtCirque baubles, bangles and bling...

ART: the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance
CIRQUE: circus, arena, circle (bracelet, ring, etc)

These handmade polymer cuff bracelets have hand painted, relief built, 
distressed exteriors and are completely sealed with acrylic. 
All cuffs have a lightweight aluminum core for strength and durability. 
The concealed aluminum core allows flexibility and comfort 
permitting you to gently squeeze or widen each bracelet to fit. 
Each cuff is approximately 2" wide and weighs about 2 oz. and signed by the artist.

The earrings and pins are also made from polymer; some stamped, 
some relief built, all are hand painted and sealed with acrylic. 

Perfect gifts for yourself or friends!

ArtQwerks opens second NEW SHOP...ArtCirque!!!


I now have a SECOND store on Etsy ...ArtCirque... containing my latest and greatest aRt BaUbLe creations. I've been working diligently to bring you a line of quality art cuffs and earrings that I would be proud for you to enjoy and share with your friends. I've just come back from ArtCirque's first show where I sold a ton of cuffs and earrings and received fabulous feedback. I'm in the studio making lots more to be included soon. I'll be putting my store in vacation mode when traveling to shows, so the content will vary as I reopen it each time. If you see something you like, I suggest you jump on it now! I only make one of a kind, so I'm sorry to say...when it's gone it's gone. I'm happy to take requests for SIMILAR items, but my intent is to never make anything alike. I hope you like the ArtCirque line of baubles as much as I love creating them for you!
