Just got these vintage glass buttons in the mail! I love the way they come on the original cards. all tattered and worn...hate to take them off! These will be used in future jewelry pieces. My favorites are the large cornflower blue ones... last two pics.

A Few Things

I am beginning to add items for sale directly from my website through paypal. You can view these here. More will be added gradually, but this is what I have so far. My work is also available through Etsy.

Also, I have added another blog! Please visit it for more daily postings, ramblings, inspiration, and lots of pics!

One more thing... have to give a shout out to The Carrotbox for including me in her INCREDIBLE ring blog! "The Carrotbox is a site dedicated to all those wonderful rings made of glass, lucite, resin, plastic, jade, wood, bakelite and even stone — anything, as long as it's not metal!" Visit this sight to view and purchase many beautiful rings, as well as learn some history of plastic. I've been addicted to the Carrotbox for over a year now!

Around the Studio

Some random (very random) pictures of stuff around the studio... sometimes inspiring, and, well, sometimes not... but a great way to procrastinate! Here is a pic of my beloved enamel paints, also known as china paints. They come in little glass vials with a cork, but for larger quantities, I store them in larger little glass vials. I get the painting enamels and other supplies from from Rynne China. Oh, and I store them in my Paperchase Tins, which I could only find online at Amazon UK, but I got mine at Borders Bookstore. Also, some pictures of glass beads and some kinda scary skull beads made of bone (cow bone, I think).
