A deconstructed shell bracelet was the inspiration for “Seychelles”. Driftwood, glass beads and shells imbue this piece with peach and earthy tones. The handles of deconstructed vintage silver spoons give “Seychelles” a quieter, light tinkling sound.
“A Stitch In Time” has vintage wooden spools, metal bobbins and antique thimbles. This is a quiet piece with tiny bells in the thimbles. Wooden beads complement the wooden spools and the vintage knitting needle atop. One of the bobbins has the same aqua green thread the same colour as the beads and buttons!
A vintage flower brooch provided the inspiration for this suncatcher, “Fall Flower”. Strands of smoky glass and gray beads hang from an antique silver bowl. Rhodonite and crystals make it sparkle.
