Faces of Time...

I must confess.....

I have a new obsession going on. I am talking about a passion of epic proportions.... I am just in LOVE with vintage watch faces and their dazzling little jeweled movements. I have found myself pouring over these little petite time machines as of late. The gorgeous details that are portrayed in their sweet faces, the exquisite tiny little gear mechanisms, and their beautiful ruby jeweled bodies are just....well...beyond amazing. So this week I began incorporating these little beauties into my designs and here is what has transpired from playing with these little old timepieces...

And check out this little lady...

....she's an old Art Deco stick pin that I placed inside an empty watch container along with some old red velvet.

...the fascinating thing about this detailed old stick pin is the detail in her face! At three different angles she appears to have three different expressions. Now how cool is that? Wow, they thought of everything back in the old days of jewelry design!

...and my new most favorite earrings to date...little rhinestone bees with old Bulova watches as their bodies. These are sure gonna be hard to let fly away!!!

You can see more pictures of these sweet "faces" later tonight at Etsy. 

Take care everyone and hope your week is full of  fun, creative bliss!!!

Shades of Turquoise...

Hello jewelry lovers!!! I know it has been a while since I posted and I do apologize, but I had to take a bit of a break. I started dreaming of shiny things chasing me in my dreams at night and then I knew that it was time to take a couple of days off. But I'm back and in full jewelry mode with lots of turquoise and soothing shades of aqua...

My inspiration...

...vintage aqua and turquoise jewelry...

...along with my hometown's beautiful aqua colored seas....

You can see more of my new aqua colored baubles tonight and tomorrow in my Etsy shop.

Hope everyone is having a lovely week full of the 

beautiful things that inspire you to create. See you in a few days mes amis!
