Repurposed

These three necklaces are made from a combination of beads, and repurposed jewelry.  

I made this one from a vintage pin, a chunky chain necklace, a chandelier crystal and an assortment of beads. 

Dark gray metal flower pendant with red, and gray beads.

This long necklace started as a chandelier crystal.  I added some  repurposed copper leaves, glass beads, and freshwater pearls.  

nature inspired

These necklaces all have hand sculpted beads out of polymer clay. Which I then painted for a ceramic look.  Then I mixed things up with some velveteen ribbon, lace, wooden beads, glass and metal.

This long necklace has a turquoise button pendant with a polymer clay bird.

I enjoy using old discarded things, probably mostly because I'm cheap, but it's fun to make a new creation out of something worthless.  I try to do that with jewelry by using things I've picked up here and there or taken apart.

I re-used some old beads, and a brass pendant and bluebird bead and an acorn cap to make this cute fall themed necklace.

a new venture

I've stepped out into a new area of creativity... I know just like everyone else.. Jewelry!

I just see things I think are so beautiful and I think "I could make that!"  So this is what happens.

 Crocheted bead wrap bracelets.  They are also great for necklaces.
