Ribbonrose Critters

Dogs, cats, plus other animals and their accessories, like the bone below, are what makes up the group of Ribbonrose Critters. They are fun to make and each animal ends up having its own little personality.

A new chair and A Window into Whimsy

This is my new director chair for shows. Now I can sit without being so low to the ground! My EtsyWMI teammate Karin of www.awindowintowhimsy.etsy.com made the seat and backing. I just love custom, handmade stuff! Check out her shop for some great handmade items like the ones below.


A beautiful crazy patch bag with sturdy straps

Inspired by the beach


I think these beads look like beautiful beach glass. Finding these washed up on the shore would be quite a surprise. Elements that I add while making these beads that make them "beachy" include silver and etching solution. These pendants make a great summer accent.

Wearable Art

Here a couple of necklaces and a bracelet I have done recently:
My brown and aqua florals with sterling silver and lt azore swarovski crystals.

This is my sparkly green bling with sterling silver. The green beads have silver and glittery green aventurine flecks.




This bracelet with black, white, and yellow has daisies and a fun little bee. Also has sterling silver and a handmade clasp.
