Shoe Clips

After several inquiries for shoe clips I thought I should have some in my shop!
I know, I know...you're saying I have A LOT of other things I should be carrying ready made in my shop too...
I'm WORKING on it!
;P
As it is I am still listing items made from 4 years ago!!!
LOL!
...seriously, that wasn't a joke.

However, these are brand spanking new items!

Twittering Toes 


(I know, I just couldn't help myself with the name)



I made these flower bases from scratch which was great because I could completely control size and color. I have never made any flowers so SMALL from scratch before so this means great flower girl piece possibilities! I have always not been able to make pieces small enough for what the clients wanted. I mean, from scratch without using a premade base. We'll see what happens.
I was experimenting with a new dye brand...it was terrible....it's more like a paint and unfortunately it stuck to the paper I dried the petals on and all the bottoms were ruined.
Usually the material can stick but it pulls off clean... this pain like stuck to the pigment of the magazines I used... I knew I should have tested first but I thought it would work and now have 8 flowers worth of petals that I am going to try and salvage.
Trial and error.
It's ok.

Earlier I was playing with creating some more vintage inspired pieces. I used some really pretty flower rhinestone pieces that had a vintage look to them and hand wire wrapped in rhinestones and lucite pieces. They are really so much prettier in person. Unfortunately, they don't translate nearly as nice in my photos which kinda bums me out. But, like everything else, taking pictures is still my forever work in progress.
;P

How lucky that Nancy shared pictures of her daughter getting married with me! She special ordered some custom pins that matched an original set she previously ordered from me.
They look so pretty in her hair!



These were the pieces I custom made for her.

Thank You Nancy for sharing this beautiful photo of your daughter on her Special Day!!!

Forgotten STASH!


Just gotta love finding goodies!
Seriously, over 4 years ago I went through this short burst of being in total jewelry mode! I was making all sorts of chandelier style earrings and tons of things I just do not make anymore! I ended up getting side tracked because the place I was living in at the time literally got no sunlight that I could use to take photos. The windows had glass panes in them like horizontal blinds. They would have been scary to try and remove. (it was an old decrepit place...and not in the good way) All photos would have had lines through the photographs so I think I was trying out a light box back then. Who knows! I ended up getting caught up in bridal orders and everything eventually got shoved in a box...which eventually got packed away and basically forgotten about! Well, to my delight I found these when I recently moved! I had to replace all the sterling silver ear wires which were literally BLACK from becoming oxidized. After taking a polishing cloth to everything they looks picture perfect!
Definitely be checking out my shop as I am adding my "new" items every day!!!
LOL!!!
Really great gift items!
I think this is what I had in mind when making a lot of these.
;)
Here are a few I have already listed in my shop.
