I've been busy in the studio!

It feels so good to work freely and to be inspired by the vintage goodies in my collections. For the past 8 month's I have been working on a challenging artistic and time focused project ~ which will be shared in the future. I know that I am not alone on on this... I have many designs that have been in a "holding" pattern waiting to be completed. I am refocused and have started to "chip" away to bring them life...I hope you enjoy the four designs I am sharing ~ 

A lovely friend celebrated her birthday yesterday and I made this for 


her...



I have a extensive collection of vintage Art Deco shoe, dress and fur clips and love to add them to my designs. I spent Sunday customizing a few into connectors without compromising the rhinestones and pot metal structure. Here is a beautifully delicate inspired rosary design using one of the shoe clips and is available on my website:


 



















I love anything French ~ authenticate, or inspired: This bracelet has been in one of those "holding" patterns and it feel great bringing it to completion! It is also available on my website



 






















The embellished focal pendant was a pair of huge vintage earrings that spoke to me long ago ~ I knew that I would be inspired to work with them. I adore the mix of colors for this neck piece ~ it reminds me of an ice cream cone, or cupcake...Heavy on the "sprinkles"! 
 It is also available on my website



 
















Thank you so much for visiting!!!

Ballet Romance meets Art Deco Bling ~

So much beauty encased behind French Crystal ~~~ my one of a kind hand embelished image using powder pigments, artist chalk and German glass glitter feature 3 beautiful ballerinas. Wrapped in copper foil and silver soldered ~~~ 1920's Art Deco rhinestone fur clip, a vintage rhinestone drop dangles delicately below with reproduction antique silver components, faceted opalescent quartz briolets, fresh water pearls in cream and blush pink, vintage bias tape, flower rhinestones and beautiful carved Czech crystals with sterling silver hand patina chain. The back of the pendant is also beautifully finished with soldered floral embellishments in antique silver.
