new look

October so far has been, well, a bit busy.  Thanks to the feature in Country Living Magazine I have been kept very occupied making *chalkboard* necklaces.  Along with all of that I have been working on new designs for the holidays.  Right now Im into the cuff bracelet...the perfect addition to any fall or winter look.

leather wrapped brass cuffs

a little upcycled update

Here's one of the pieces I made with the upcycled chain I got from last weekend. When I started out to make this necklace it wasnt my intention to make a piece of such contrast. But, somehow it evolved into that and it works. The chain is an upcycled heavy brass cable chain which compliments the thin, delicate oxidized brass chain. The smooth high polished round white quartz and metal grey beads set off the faceted smokey grey glass and milky white quartz. I think Ill try this style with some other types of chain and beads. Its a great length and goes with just about anything.
