    Bracelet for a friend

    December 5, 2009 - By 

    Not being Catholic, I had to look up what the medal meant when I found it. It’s called the Miraculous Metal.
    Here’s a little blurb from the site I looked it up on.

    There is no superstition, nothing of magic, connected with the Miraculous Medal. The Miraculous Medal is not a “good-luck charm”. Rather, it is a great testimony to faith and the power of trusting prayer. Its greatest miracles are those of patience, forgiveness, repentance, and faith.

    The hummingbird also has powerful meaning in her life.

    I hope she likes the colors I’ve choosen.

    Thanksgiving morning necklace

    November 26, 2009 - By 

    I confess, I procrastinate. BIG TIME. Lucky for me, I work fast under pressure.

    I recently found this choker necklace at a thrift store and had to have it. Of course, I hate chokers. Heck, I can’t even stand a turtleneck collar but I saw the potential of it being repurposed.

    Now after my quick change up I have a necklace and pair of earrings. Only then did I realize that one of my earring holes had partially grown closed…OUCH!

    Spoon pendant

    October 20, 2009 - By 



    I’ve been finding all kinds of interesting little treasures lately. Such as a sterling spoon that had no handle. I put the stub of the handle in the vise and slowly started working it into a loop.

    I love steampunk so I used some gears and the heart goes with the word LOVE. The heart is from an earring. Next time I try something like this I want to use resin. This was Diamond Glaze, which I’m pretty sure isn’t supposed to be used as I tried.

    It is a fun little piece though. No mistakes… just opportunities to learn.
