Miriam Haskell meets Etched Brass...Swoon

I usually design and create with mainly white metals ~ I am loving this combination of antique brass, patina, filigree, baroque pearls with accents of beautiful garnet beads and my vintage Miriam Haskell finding ~ 

Torch Soldering and Cold Connection using rivets....love!

Also...

I'm so excited to be teaching my first workshop on Saturday at Vintage Handmade ~ thank you Lisa and her guests!  We are going to have so much fun creating the Vintage Paris Bumble Bee Crowned Soldered Pendant Necklace~

Wishing everyone a fabulous THREE day holiday weekend!

Mixed Media & Bridal Jewelry Collage

I thought I would share two of the collage photo's that I created using photo's of my mixed media and bridal jewelry designs.  My technical skills are not up to date and it takes me FOREVER to figure this sort of stuff out ~ I used Picasa to get this far.

I'm off to play a little bit more to see what else I can learn. :)
