Project Accessory

I just finished watching "Project Accessory".  I think it is going to be a good show.  I thought it was kind of interesting how some of the designers really struggled with using materials that traditionally are not used for jewelry.  It is a bit easier to use precious silver,  gold and precious stones to make pretty things than household items.  Wonder what will be next?

Heli Earrings

Well, it is official.  I will use pretty much anything in my jewelry designs.  My husband flies remote control helicopters and I took some of his used pieces and parts and incorporated a couple pieces into these earrings.

I like these so much, I don't know if I can bear to part with them!

I am also working on a truly one of a kind necklace using shards of handpainted porcelain!  You will have to wait to see it!

Maudification Upcycle Get Together

I was fortunate to have been invited by a small group of ladies to have a Maudies Upcycle party.  They brought some of their old broken, unused jewelry and I had a great time "maudifying and upcycling" them into something new for them.  It was so much fun.  

This is one of the projects.  One of the ladies had a broken watch, a pair of earrings, a broken necklace and I had a pin made of tulle.

 From this collection of goodies, I maudified those pieces into this pendant! 

                                      Perfect for the Indy 500 Racefan!!!

I plan on having more of these, so if you are interested, please contact me!  Groups and individuals are welcome to contact me.  I will be available at the Speedway Centre for the Arts to do a Maudies Upcyle event or other venue if you prefer.  Just give me a shout! 

New things!

Here are some new items I just finished this weekend.
