Seamstress Hands - Glass Tile Pendant - Vintage paper and sterling silver plated bail.

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:24:59 -0500

$12.00

This quirky pair of sewing hands is a vintage reference book illustration, adhered to a glass tile.

This pendant is made of vintage paper, a glass tile, and a sterling silver plated bail. The image is sealed with an acid free sealant on the back to improve water resistance and durability.

Although all glass tile pendants are water resistant, they should not be worn in the shower or swimming.

Vintage papers are from reference books, in this case a sewing book from 1971. I have always had a soft spot for illustrated reference books. Growing up we had this amazing book of wild birds. I would sit and look through it for hours, before I could even read. I hate to think of all these beautiful images going to the land fill, just because the words behind them may be outdated. I make them into pretty things to wear and hang on your walls instead.

Pendant measures approximately 2”x2” without bail. Ball chain in custom lengths is available for an additional $3.00.

If you don’t see exactly what you’d like in the shop, feel free to convo me. I have dozens of pendants in stock, and hundreds of images to choose from for custom orders.

normal girls are boring - pink explosion

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:28:20 -0400

$20.00
Part of my newest crafting adventure, this recycled 3/4 pink and charcoal gray t-shirt expresses my mantra:

normal girls are boring
It's the perfect answer to nearly any snide comment or flip question. Comments on your hair cut, clothing choice, music preferences? Yeah, well, normal girls are boring.

This shirt is hand screen printed using Speedball Fabric Inks, and has been heat treated to set the ink.

Though the shirt can be machine washed, I recommend gentle cycle or hand washing and drying flat or hanging to dry for longest shirt life. Remember, this shirt has already had one incarnation.

Shirt measures:
18 inches-from armpit to armpit
21 inches-from shoulder to bottom hem
16 inches-sleeve length-all of the gray portion from collar edge to bottom of sleeve

The original tag reads 100% cotton, size large.

If you have any questions or concerns about measurements or care, please convo me prior to purchase.

Custom orders of this nature are welcome!
