I must fully admit the obvious, I am a magpie girl and my heart beats a little faster when ever I come across something that has been cherished, tattered, frayed and kissed by time.
To create my modern day romance I dipped into my beloved antique mother of pearl Victorian button collection. I dyed and cobbled soft velvet ribbon and vintage lace that I hand and machine stitched to embellish.
sections of vintage and antique glass, lucite and mother of pearl shank buttons along with beads were strung together and croshayed with a colored thread.
to create these versatile pieces of jewelry that may be worn as a necklace
earthly delights
or wrapped around your wrist to become a bracelet.
This dusty lavender one has been on my wrist for the last few weeks.
devotion
and I must say I am very smitten by this red one!
(I may have to make one just for me!)

Beautiful!!!

Sweet! :)
Dear Ruth, My daughter, Dana and I Just took your class in Utah at The Art Nest. We are already planning our next book. We had such a good time sewing with you.
I just finished Kelly Rae's ecourse on "making a creative business" and I am trying to venture out into the art world on my own. I have lots of "old things" from my family that I want to share with others that also have a love for the left or forgotten pieces of time.
I hope if you have time you will watch me take my steps for a while and visiting me on omzblog.blogspot.com
And I LOVE your necklace/bracelets. They are so vintage looking and very one of a kind. Beautiful! You are so smart.
see you soon on the web
Debbie
