DREAMY

DREAMY-available on etsy here

I am finally getting around to posting one of my new pieces.....DREAMY! I fell in love with some old rhinestone brooches at the flea a while ago, and had to use this one as a beautiful focal. I paired it with some chunky gemstones and bits of my etchings, and some wonderful vintage garnet beads. I love putting these mixed material necklaces together, it's like working on a puzzle. I know when it's done when I feel good!

Thank you to all my new followers and everyone who visits and comments, you inspire me to keep creating!

HAPPY LABOR DAY

I am very busy this weekend taking time for me, but I wanted to wish everyone a terrific holiday, and my apologies if I haven't visited as much as I would have liked!

I'm also having a big sale in my etsy shop, so take advantage now, it will only be for a few days!

Have a very Happy Labor Day everyone!

I was excited to find some time this weekend to make some cuffs that have been on my mind for a while now, and of course, I plan to make more. These are very addicting, they feel like painting with fabric and texture to me, and there is so much freedom of expression involved. The best part is that I finally made use of some of my most treasured vintage items....buttons, laces, and really exsquisite millinery flowers I nabbed a few weeks ago that I love most of all! There is lots of hand detailing in these pieces, oh, and vintage crystals and hand dyed cheesecloth! I hope to list them on etsy later, after the day job and this 3 day headache.
Hope your day is a great one, and thanks so much for visiting!

MORE TOMORROW

SQUEEZE

I am still working on jewelry for the showing, but just had to SQUEEZE in a journal spread....there is only so much a girl can take! As we all know, there is no stopping creativity. No mess here, no paints, pens, crayons...just glue and paper and I rather like the simplicity and the quietness of this.
Thanks to all for stopping by and visiting. I am especially sending out concern this morning to all my friends in the path of the storm Irene , be safe and I am thinking of all of you and hoping it passes with minimal damage.

I'VE BEEN BUSY

I have been crazy busy getting ready for a presentation on Sunday, and in between I have been crazy tired! I wanted to give you a peek of the things I have been working on, and some of it may make it back to the shop next week. I tried to put together a nice mix of contemporary and vintage, and if you didn't notice(ha)....I even included a successful enameled bead with the personal help of Barbara Lewis....doll that she is....because enameling has been a bit of a challenge for me, but I think I am finally getting it! Enameling is top on the list to work on next week...I hope......ah, and to play with some paper too!
Thanks to all for stopping by, new followers, and wonderful comments that make my day special!

WRITINGS

WRITINGS-available in my etsy shop here

I have been spending a lot of time lately getting ready to take my jewelry to the boutique that buys it from me. I made a pair of these earrings a long time ago for me, and never made them again. I wear them at least once a week, and I really like them for many reasons, so I thought someone else may feel like I do, so I made another pair, and put them in my shop.

Thanks for looking and your wonderful comments!
