fabulous trade!

Call me lucky....that's right...go ahead!

Lovely Maria from Sweden and I did a trade recently. She made me one of her beautiful hand felted, hand beaded...and just plain ole' hand made bracelets! I just love the colors and the tiny little details at the clasp! Pretty ribbon and beads are twisted in and out of the felt beads, making the whole piece very textural!

I really have to mention the YUMMY blueberry and white chocolates she sent me...(long gone by myself and Big Daddy) and some loose tea that I've yet to try, and am saving to have with Judy.

THANKS Maria ~ I love it!

New goodies in the shop!

Crazy Mary

Mermaid

Day Dream

Sweet Jane

hmmm....I think a few things are pretty obvious here. 1) I've been to the flea market and have found some JUNQUEY relics to work with. 2) I've been heavy into the tunes lately. 3) I've been bead shopping!

So who's been artsy lately??? COMMENT about it and give us some links to find your journal and/or shop!

It's an old slide lock....paired up with leopard skin stones and contemporary art glass.
