I received a box of goodies from a friends that loves to junk. In it were bottle caps, old necklaces, forks, spoons, and bits and baubles. My first reaction when seeing the forks and spoons... what am I going to do with these???

So I sat down and played. Eventually I came up with these necklaces. I was pushed out of my box.

I had to do something different. I am glad I got the push or shove as it may have been!

Mixed Media Piece by artist friend E.D.

When I saw this piece, I had to have it. I love it. My artist friend, E.D. lovingly made this and I just adore all the bits and pieces that were collaged together to form this piece.

There are stamps, book pages, wood pieces, rhinestones, ornaments, glitter and more.

Happy Christmas.

My Artist Friend

My artist friend, E.D. created these two fabulous pieces and I just had to have them! She is one of the most creative people I know, and I am so glad to have her as a friend.

Vintage Christmas

Tried a new look this year. It mixes vintage and new. . . and a few of my favorite things.

Bye Buddy, Hope you find your dad.

This is my jewelry studio. . . or the only clean part of the studio space I could show you. When I am in the artistic zone, being neat and tidy is not on the top of my list of things to do. I need to be surrounded by all the possibilities.

The Garden Gallery

If you had a chance to stop in to the Garden Gallery in Elkhorn, NE this past weekend, then you are aware of all the great local art that is available.

IF you were not able to attend, PLEASE stop out this week and enjoy the fabulous art and the magnificent mums in the green house.

I went in this week and brought in a new display my husband and I came up with. It is a cupboard, that is tripped out with hooks and nails to hold all the repurposed jewelry I have made. Don't forget to look inside, there is more! This piece pictures above is there. Wouldn't it be great for a wedding?
