Flamboyant Peacock Earrings

Purple and blue......my two favorite colors!

Woodland Wristlet

I loved trying out my own technique for "weaving" beads into clusters through the noodles. It is rather "cuffish" when worn, but still delicate with its feminine details.

While I Was Out....

I dreamt of dragonflies...

It's been a while since I've been in the studio due to an arm injury. But this weekend, I did some reorganizing in the studio and finally took the plunge to create some new pieces. My last design session was in February ~ over four months ago. Made with a decoupaged pendant and some of my favorite brass components, I really had fun designing this one. I love the perky colors!

Here's another that features my favorite winged insect. I think I like it because it reminds me of the woods. I love the cool greens.

Leather and Lace

This is one of my less complicated designs, but I like it for its simplicity and structure.

Caribbean Sunshine

These earrings feature Swarovski ultra light blue rivoli crystal glass stones. I only have one of these stones left in my coveted stash. These pictures were taken using my new DSLR camera with a macro lens. I am in my trial and error stage and hope to determine the best F stop/shutter speed combination that works best. Photography is a great passion for me. Years ago, my husband and I had a darkroom in our home and developed our own black and whites. Good memories there!

Filigree Brass Wrapped Czech Bird Art Glass Button Necklace (Coming Home)

♥Coming Home♥

The focal on this beautiful necklace is a Czech, fired crystal Bird Art Glass button. I just fell in love with it! I was finally able to find a few more of these! This is a little different version than I have done in the past. It is wrapped in filigree brass.

This particular button is back after 120 years. The button was made from a 19th century, old mold. It was hand crafted in the Czech Republic and was hand pressed and hand painted using original czech methods that haven't changed in over two hundred years. The necklace was finished with a filigree repousse clasp.

Got Time?

We have a new treasury!
