Broken Heart... No More!!

Image
The other day my daughter came to me all sad, and handed me a tiny heart pendant, it was a gift form one of my sisters, it has a lot of sentimental value.  The back of the heart fell off and the tiny little pink beads that were inside it fell out, she was not able to find the backing or the beads. She loves this necklace so she asked me if I could do something to fix it. I had been working on some resin projects and had some left over glittered resin it just happened to be big enough to cut out a heart to use as a back for the pendant.     I took an ink pad and applied to the tiny heart so it would transfer to a piece of white paper so I would be able to cut the heart out in the right size and create a template I could use to cut out a tiny heart of the resin leftover. I placed the three crystals inside the heart pendant, added a little of the glossy accents to the edge of the heart and placed the little glittered resin heart I cut and placed it on the glossy acc...

Crocheting around, my way!

I just wanted to go back a little and show some of the works I have done in the past and where I'm at today.  Now I love working with different mediums.  I've seen some amazing works on blogs, on-line and even on FB that inspire me to go in a totally new direction to what I'm used to making, this is going to take some time, because it is not easy for me step outside the line and say it's ok, there are no lines, no rules, just let it all be what it wants to be. I do some crocheting, I have in the past made the scarfs, hats, even sweaters, but I'm not there anymore, don't get me wrong, I love these- I've seen some amazingly creative crocheting on-line, but I just want to make jewelry with it - so here are a few items I've done using a crochet hook and yarn. If you start from the top left - I used two types of yarn, yet you only see the green -  this is a really pretty bracelet and  the best part is that the beads are small and light so when you wear...

SPARKLE!!!

These are just some of the items I have done, I love working with swarvski crystals, they sparkle so much, the more you use the more they shine, I have more items but these are my some of my favorites, I have to retake photos of the rest, since I purchased a new camera that takes better pictures.  With my other cameras I am not able to photograph crystals, it would always come out too blurry, these came out much better.  I do simple projects, not too  crazy about making elaborate designs, just what I like when I'm done.  It's so much fun every time I sit to make an item, I never know what it will look like at the end, maybe that explains why my works are simple, can't wait to see the end result. ALL SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL BRACELET SOME OF THE RINGS I'VE MADE AND LOVE TO WEAR SOME MORE OF MY RINGS, ALL ARE CRYSTALS EXCEPT THE FLOWER ONE, WAS MADE OUT OF  BROKEN JEWELRY, NOT SURE WHAT IT USED TO BE BEFORE IT BECAME A RING, THAT I LOVE TO WEAR!
