Beautiful French Lady

My Dad found this beautiful pendant from France at an antique store in Seattle.  I attached it to a Beau sterling flower bracelet link.  The chain is vintage rose crystal and pyrite.

Antique Rare Czech Glass Puppy Figurine Assemblage Necklace




I picked up this precious and rare Czech frosted glass puppy pendant recently in Paris, France. This little puppy is complimented with an assortment of fresh water pearls, decorative brass beads, frosted faceted crystal beads, two vintage frosted flower bell beads, and purple faceted glass beads.

Friendship Wheel for Primary Sharing Time


This is for my sharing time in primary on Sunday. We are doing a hangman game so when a child spins the wheel, we will add that letter to the hangman board and share a story about how each of the children on the friendship wheel learned how to be a good friend. I designed this wheel on my Gypsy using Locker Talk and My Quiet Book cartridges.

Photo Booth Signs/Props







I designed these signs/banners/props on my Gypsy for the wedding of my friend's daughter.  I LOVE my Gypsy.  It has multiplied by 100 what I can create with my Cricut.

Through Sunshine or Rain

This necklace features handmade links of blackstone, dalmation jasper, pyrite, and antique sterling beads.  The center includes a sterling vintage compass charm, a vintage sterling earthy pendant, a 1940s sterling airplane charm, blackstone and pyrite dangles.  I thoroughly enjoyed creating this travel ensemble.

French Royalty




I love this beautiful antique French brass pendant.  It is so ornate and detailed, that it required a simple chain design.  It hangs from a lovely antique brass chain.  The additional strand of links are blue agate and brass balls beads that I wire wrapped together.  There is an adorable antique brass Reserve Tribune charm and blue stone bead that hang near the vintage clasp.  A very royal ensemble.

Love In the Moonlight



I handmade each sterling bezel link in this bracelet and set MOP and carved soap stone faces in the bezels.  It also features dark wine colored fresh water pearls.

Colmar





I created this necklace using one of my beloved book lockets that my Dad found for me at a Seattle antique store.  The chain includes a sterling silver Beau filigree flower link from a vintage bracelet, antique sterling and crystal rosary, vintage sterling chain, an antique puffy heart charm, and a vintage fresh water pearl.

ID Tag Love Bracelet



I made this bracelet for a friend of mine for her birthday.  It features a vintage sterling Love heart from Peru, monograms of her family members, a small pink pearl and a vintage puffy heart all on sterling chain.

Beautiful Mary






I got this beautiful Mary charm with a small antique charm lot I recently received from Belgium. I handmade the floral center piece. The flowers actually came from a broken piece of jewelry that I got at a flea market. I created the sterling silver bezel to set the flowers in using sheet silver and sterling gallery bezel wire. I attached some jump ring connectors and antiqued it with liver of sulfur. I designed the chain using red potato pearls, and portions of antique rosary and silver chain.  I think Mary looks quite lovely in this assemblage.
