Patricia's Sounds of the 70s AB Spreads

Hot Rod Lincoln is the theme for this spread in Patricia's "Sounds of the 70s" AB for the RR in our ICE Group. This was the 1st RR we started about a year ago...and we are on the last "leg" of the RR. So the books are making their way home and we are all very excited. I found some copies of tickets for Concerts that were in the 70s, so I copied them and used them here...also found this pic of "Tony Orlando & Dawn"

It is just me but I thought the cover of Patricia's Book was a little plain so I added this cute "Hippy Doll" I hope you like it Patricia...it really is cute and I have had the doll for a really long time and I knew someday the perfect opportunity would present its self...and wala...this was it...how cool is that????

Dawn's Inspirational Women AB

These are the spreads that I just finished in Dawn's "Inspiration Women" AB for one of the RRs we are doing over in the ICE Group.

Some More Jewelry for my Etsy

I decided while I was over here loading some new blog links, that I would just post a couple more of my new jewelry pieces that will be on my Etsy Shop starting April 1.
This is one of my Steampunk Hearts...It is 3" long and comes on a leather necklace. It is one of my favorites...it has lots of chains and metal decorations.

This is another Steampunk Hearts (these hearts were inspired by Christi Friesen). I call this one Rusted Copper.
This necklace has coral beads (the spiky looking ones) with glass and metal beads. The pendant is acrylic with white flowers. All of my jewelry is a one of a kind original design.

This Black and Silver Steampunk heart is 3" long and has lots of watch parts and a part of a Black Rosary Bead chain, all of these hearts are made from polymer clay and the metal parts are attached before the hearts are fired, so the decorations are permanently attached. This particular heart is $12. So if you are interested before I put them on my Etsy Shop (I take PayPal) just let me know. This one is really cool.

This is a double strand necklace with a beautiful glass heart pendant. I also have earrings to match. In fact most of my necklaces have earrings (and sometimes bracelets) to match.

This necklace is 32" long and the pendant is brown acrylic with flowers and a hummingbird. The beads are glass, wood and metal. Just click on it and you can see the detail. I don't usually make the necklace match on both sides of the pendant the same but I did on this one.

New Jewelry...aka. Steampunk Hearts

These are some of the Steampunk Heart Pendants that I made to sell on my Etsy Shop. My friend Kathy Parks made some so I just had to try them...mine are not as good as hers but I like them. The idea came from a polymer clay artist by the name of Christi Friesen...she is an awesome artist. These things are addictive...I can't seem to quit making them...I got a great deal on watch parts from Sky Blue Pink...a great web site for all kinds of embelishments. I have a lot of old jewelry (chains, charms and what not) that has either been given to me or I found at garage sales and I used quite a bit of that stuff to embelish the hearts. My first couple of batches were fairly dark and so I made some with out "antiquing" them because I always like a little more color than most people...I made small (about 2" long), medium (about 2 1/2" long)and large (about 3"long). I am going to sell them for $5, $10 and $15.
