Wild Souls, Wild Rose & Wild Heart

Last week I mentioned that I had been flea marketing with the girls and that we all had found some supah' treasures. Well, I've been playing around with some of mine and made bracelets from vintage buckles.

"Wild were the Heart"

Antique sterling buckle turned fabulous frame for this mini collage. Handmade chain from sterling wire & garnet beads. One inch extender with vintage charm dangle. This was fun.

"The Wild Rose"

Another vintage metal buckle with rose collage. Handmade copper links & red aventure beads. One inch extender with copper hand dangle.

I absolutely adored making these, and will do more soon! They are just perfect on my wrist! I just added them to the shop in the Revived Relics category.

I've added another class to the workshops section. This class wil be called "Fairy Dreams" and will encourage students to create her inner fairy using my collection of vintage ladies and wings.

Students will learn how to make their own copper chain, with matching beads. They will learn how to use Diamond Glaze, collage techniques & how to make their own clasp.

"Wild Souls" is available for sale, but I am saving "A Fairy Dream" as a door prize in an upcoming art show. I'll fill you in on that later....I've got to get some sleep!

Oh, wow! I love how you used the buckle as a frame and found the perfect shapes of lovely things to match!

I LOVE the Wild were the heart bracelet. It is fabulous.
I had a creative beading idea today and thought of you.
Oh, and I love this song too.
I miss you
