and she's off.......

Just so none of you think I'm full of crapola...I've decided to break down and show you some my newest creations that I will be selling in my shop!

I feel like I have been building up to create these pieces. I am addicted to making them, and I feel happy when I do so. I think the creative drought will be over....MAN, that was a long one, but it took a while to get out of the furniture thing. FINALLY I thought..."do something different, but do it with the tools and knowledge of what you do best!" I paint flowers, I age, I distress...it's what I do...so what if I don't do it on huge pieces of furniture anymore. Small statements are good too.

I hope this helps anyone who has gone through the same mental creative changes I have gone through in the past year! I know what it's like and it can be almost crippling to your insides! JUST KEEP trying, tossing, throwing, screaming & getting frustrated...you'll figure it out!

Enough of the drama...tell me what you think!

I have hand collaged and painted the design, then formed a little medallion around the glass. I wanted the medallions to look like an old piece of metal & they have many layers of paint and such to give them an aged and distressed look. Then...it's all about the beading baby! Beads are all glass....new and vintage. I really love the double strand necklaces...as one goes around your throat choker style. I am, and will be making many different sizes & styles.

Each piece is extremely time consuming, but I love each step.

Each design is original, and no 2 will ever be a like!

You can email me for details if you like!

sunbeam, queen & love

love & sweetly

1935 & kisses

I just posted a comment on Jenny's site & I thought maybe it was important that I add some of the comment here.

"I have been in a soul searching mood myself, and believe I have finally come out on the other end unscathed & beautiful."

Hey Jes -- These really are beautiful, in a move-my-heart kind of way. I'm searching for the rights words, but I think what I want to say is that they're fragile and ephemeral and solid and substantial, which is what I like about wildflowers. Small is good. They're exquisite.

What a bunch of beautiful things you've made! Out of what material did you create the medallions? They look so good! Really looking forward to your shop opening. And thanks so much for commenting on my humble creations, too.
