Sleepy owl

Purple bag with an owl in rich warm tones.  I really like how this guy turned out!

"book" bags

Two new bags heading for Bluebird Books:

Bright orange corduroy with trees

Navy corduroy with "art nouveau" styled flower and dragonfly

Wrap bracelets

These wrap bracelets are crocheted with glass beads and a button and loop clasp.

Natural pearls

Bright fiesta colors

Icy blue, with a mother-of-pearl button

Chandelier crystal pendant

I really was excited with how this pendant came out!  I think it has a little "art nouveau" feel to it!

Vintage earrings into necklaces

This necklace was inspired by this great retro white poppy earring.  The red and black glass beads are crocheted into three strands.

This little sparkly flower was also once an earring, but is so pretty in this necklace.  

Gold and fuschia metal and glass beads. 

Vintage finds

The estate sale that I got these from was in a dark little room and it was a little hard to see their potential.  I was delighted when I took them out into the light to find these gems.  When I take something out of someone's garage, or dark dusty house into the light and "redeem" it into something new and beautiful, it reminds me in some small way of the work of Jesus when He takes our ruined lives and redeems them into something beautiful and enjoyable to Him.

  

A vintage clip on earring turned necklace pendant with glass and freshwater pearls.

Made from a brooch, a chandelier crystal, a mother of pearl button and a sparkly rhinestone button.

Another vintage earring turned pendant, in yellows and greens.
