The Unknown


“I will not let you go into the unknown alone.”
― Bram Stoker




October Greetings, My Friends!

Today I have some lovely antiqued collage earring charms by Jill Stoffregen of Foxpaws to show you.  





The charms are made of thin porcelain ceramic and are quite delicate. I used a 4 ply wax linen cord to attach them to the rest of the components so there wouldn't be any metal rubbing against them.  In this particular pair, I frayed the ends of the cord to create a tattered look which also went perfectly with the slashes you see in the sleeves.  

I created a sort of gobbet using vintage bead-caps and amber-colored faceted beads.  Well, of course, we all know vampires don't drink....wine...However, they may offer you some to be hospitable. 





I hope you enjoyed your stay at my little bead table today!  It was wonderful to see you again!

Be well,

With Open Hands & Hearts We Welcome The New Year!


Welcome, 2019!

I love New Year celebrations, resolutions, and the best intentions it brings.  I love the feeling of hope for the future.  I love the thought of opening yourself to new possibilities.  




Painterly finished, artistic hands by Vincent and Nooma Cav of Inviciti.


Transparent red Czech glass hearts with verdigris sides and faceted vintage crystals from the 30's.


Wishing us a New Year of hands covered in paint, blackened by the oxidized metal residue and perhaps even some Band-Aids!

Cheers!  Now go get dirty and have the most creative year ever!
