"African Violets"

This one was A Christmas gift for a very dear friend. I used violet & yellow pearl beads, glass triangle beads, silver metal beads, antiqued silver end beads and a silver filigree clasp with a little metal hanging heart tag that says; "made with love." Cuz it was! ;oP

"Ruby Wings"

This was made for someone who is a very special and unique individual. Her favorite color is red, so I used red crackle beads accented with gold filigree, metal butterflies & dragonflies & antiqued gold metal beads. Finished with a gold lobster-claw clasp.

"Hearts & Roses"

This was also made for a very special person, using her favorite color. I used pearl, glass crackle, topaz hearts and gold filigree beads. The focal bead is a lampwork bead with roses inside. I used a gold filigree clasp to complete the piece.

Fairy Atc ~ "Petal"

This little fairy also went to live with someone she was made especially for. I used black cardstock, a black and white fairy print colored in with colored pencils and magic marker, glitter paint, gold border stickers and silver sharpie.

"In The Garden"

I made this bracelet special for someone as a surprise. It is made of marbled glass beads, aurora borealis glass roses, metal flowers, dragonflies, butterflies & ladybugs (all things the loves) and an antiqued metal floral clasp.

"Asian Inspiration"

I made this atc for a special person who likes asian-themed things. I used black cardstock as a base, then covered it with a distress-inked coffee filter. Then I added the giesha image and painted around it with irridescent glitter acrylic paint. When that dried, I added flower embellishments cut from wallpaper samples and painted on the same acrylic glitter as the background.

"Ocean Dreams"

I made this necklace out of glass, metal, pearl & lampwork beads. I also used an antiqued metal heart clasp. The blown glass fish is one I received in a swap and thought it would go perfectly with the rest of the theme. :)

"Peah Tree Pixie"

This is a clothespin faerie I made quite some time ago to send in a swap. I used a wooden clothespin (peg-style) for the body. I painted the pin in flesh-toned acrylic, then used black acrylic to paint on boots. I used black sharpie for eyes, and a piece of confetti glued on for the mouth. The skirt and hat are made from silk flower petals, and the wings are silk leaves. Her top is made from sheer brown polka-dotted ribon, she has flesh-toned pipe-cleaner arms and her bouquet is a ribbon and lace flower applique'. I used regular blond doll hair for the "wig."
