Working on commissioned pieces of jewelry!!

A friend that has bought several pieces of my jewelry has commissioned me to make several more pieces for her. I love when my art helps bring folks into my life as what happened this time. She commented on some ooaks that I had made and we started talking back and forth and discovered that we live almost right around the corner from one another. Small world, eh?

I just finished one of the bracelets she ordered.....one of my hemp ones....the one with the pansy and the pearls.  She wants another one just like it but the roping in rose color. (someone has notified me that they are hopefully going to buy one of my teacup faeries and I so hope they do. I need to make a supply run)


I made one of my paper boxes to put the bracelet in and made one of my paper flowers with a button in the center as a decoration for it. I love making these little boxes....such fun!!

After I finish this post then I'm going to start on a memory wire bracelet she has ordered. Well....actually I think a horizontal pause is going to take place first and then I will work on the bracelet. ^_^

Until next time...........Hugs,

Faerie muse came out to play.

Another sunny day but man oh man is it a tad bit brrrrrrr outside. OK ok...I'm sure it wouldn't feel that way to some of my friends (the ones that live in cold places...another BRRRR) but here....this weather just doesn't happen often....THANK GOODNESS!!! I mean do you know how hard it is to wear your flip flops with socks. HeHe

I worked on a few things yesterday for an Easter theme. I want to make some bracelets and pins for kiddos and I'm sure some adults ^_^ will like them too. While some were baking my faerie muse decided to come out and play. I'm so happy she did....I have missed her!!


I love springtime...all the flowers blooming. The faeries in my garden love it too because they love to tend to the new blooms...make sure they grow into beautiful flowers. That's where the inspiration for this piece came from. Hanging on a 18 inch bronze chain (with a 2 inch adapter) is a metal pansy with a pearl inside. Attached to the pansy is a bronze medallion with a pearl and hanging from that is a beautiful pearl dangle. The dangle is made from three strands of 80 year old vintage pearls. I found these old broken clip on earrings at an estate sale some time back and I think they work perfectly for this piece. One man's junk surely is another's treasure!! I have put this piece in my Etsy shop. I hope that if you need a small gift for someone special that you will come and see what my different muses have had me doing. I have FREE shipping....just sayin!!

Until next time............Hugs,
