So far, so good on this one. There appears to be plenty of glue to strengthen the pin. I may need to actually pin it to the fabric, but I think this is a great addition to my pirate hat!

It was a perfect sigil for me and a great accent for my Gasparilla costume.

My husband works in the industrial industry, but oftentimes wears suits, so I wanted to gift this for our 8th wedding anniversary (bronze). These came in with plenty of time to spare. The pictures don’t do them justice, as they truly look beautiful in person! Thanks so much to the sellers for making our upcoming celebration that much better with the perfect gift! 10/10 shop and products!

Creatively Upcycling

Making Junk Fun!!

When I have not created in a while (a day or a week), I begin seeing art and potential in the oddest places. The recycling bin provides interesting textures and colors of junk mail that just need to be made into a greeting card or an origami box. Old wire, beads, nuts and bolts want to become jewelry.

Creating unique jewelry pieces makes my heart beat faster and that is the essence of doing something you love and enriching your life and the lives of the people who purchase and use my creations. Life is too short not to have fun and enjoy what you are doing!
