  • Red and Silver

    A third commissioned wreath.  Some of the base ornaments are from my first wreath that broke.  I like this wreath, but I would have made different choices had I had space to fully lay out the wreath.  I would have also bought a silver bow to put on it, but my friend liked it.  …

  • Silver Stars

    My cousin was getting married and I had a simple dress that demanded a statement necklace.  I made this one with accompanying hair clip, although I ended up wearing a different necklace.         Related Images:

  • Brown

    Part of the cufflink/jewelry box included some of my grandma’s jewelry.  This was made from a necklace that was these beads with gold tubes.  I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the gold, but in the meantime, I made these brown earrings.  Currently my only pair of brown earrings.      …

  • Pink Flowers

    I was bored at work, during a slow day, and started making paper flowers from napkins.  Eventually, I had enough that I had to do something with it. I started gluing onto a wreath form and realized this made a great wreath.  So good, my mom bought it off of me to give to a…

  • Large Turquoise

    This wasn’t a lost earring, this was a lost ring!  Metal glue, spacer bars to get the right height, and time and then I’ve got a necklace. $7       Related Images:

    Another early wreath, I had this idea while in high school.  I bought a puzzle from the dollar store, and lucked out on a winter scene with a nice red barn.  I had separated the pieces, red and white, regular and edge, and kept them in baggies for years.  Then I got a wreath form,…
