I've had fun working on two new brooches for Valentine's Day. One is more cute or fun and the other more Victorian and romantic. I'm working on new backgrounds as well. I figure winter is almost over (oh, don't burst my bubble and tell me we have at least two more months of it!), so it's time to "lighten up" a bit. I'm pleased with how they've turned out and have listed them today. Hope you like them!
Yes, a bracelet (added this morning to my Etsy shop). While making the vintage image charms, I looked at the images collectively and thought they all belonged together somehow. That is how this bracelet was born. I added some vintage German ruby red flower beads and some pink and clear swirled flower beads that coordinate quite nicely with the images. This is definitely for the romantic at heart. Wish I had made it earlier to offer it for Valentine's Day, but it really would be pretty all year round.
I saw these pretty little crystal shapes at the bead show a few weekends back, and they "spoke" to me. They said, "Purse!" (They say something else too which will remain a secret at this time until I can develop my idea.) I thought the shape lent itself well to a sparkly little Victorian purse, and I'm please with how these turned out, complete with little antique copper chains and a glass bead "fastener" on the tops. I've listed them separately on my eCrater store (simply because I am out of listings with Lollishops at the moment) if you'd like a further peak.
I really appreciate pretty websites especially since I'm not in the position to have a pretty one myself (though I once did!). It is such a pleasure to shop...if only to window shop...a lovely site. I have no idea who this lady is really, but she is starting a pretty shop (so it's not quite filled up yet). It is just lovely, and I'd like to encourage others to check it out www.victorianmercantilestore.com . Enjoy "shopping" her site as I did!
