Paris: Made By Hand

 

I really have been working on putting jewelry together, even though I haven't been sharing my work with you for the last few posts.  Here is a bracelet I put together using a vintage watch band clasp as a closure.  The sand dollar charm is also vintage but the garnets, amethyst, slate tones pearls, labradorite, Swarovski crystals and red Czech glass beads are all new.  Purchase Here

I like the way the gold and red hues play so well together and it's so appropriate for this time of year, with Valentine's Day quickly approaching.

 

I also want to share my latest book with you, Paris:  Made By Hand  that is filled with inspirational photography.

I will be making the corset on the right this Spring.  I have already begun working on the "bones" made of wire that I will then attach the twigs.  It will be approximately four feet tall and three feet wide when I am finished.

Another shot from the book....I love these vintage dolls, don't you?
