and more GREAT JEWELRY

Brassy, more on this below.

I call this a ladder structure, just a little different than the usual pendant. Lovely Mexican marble, glass, pearls, volcano rock, pewter.

So, sometimes I gather everything the right color and spirit when making jewelry, and then I just can't stop attaching things, has that ever happened to you? Like you think you are making lasagne and suddenly there are 12 vegetables in there and 4 cheeses? Yummy brassy and carnelian and mother of pearl and quartz and brass and tiger's eye and everything but the kitchen sink. If you want half of this, well, yes, I have that too.

LOVE THIS! Could be from the early iron age. Simple fish hook with a brass ring dotted with droplets, with a hollow pewter bead holding on a handmade brown glass bead dote with blue, on top of a tube of pewter being held up by a freshwater pearl, on a copper headpin. Wear with any of these metals.

awww, some more great models from sidewalk sale!

Wigs are so hard to wear!

the whole family tree quilt-yes more details.

SO! The tree represents the baby, and is composed of three fabrics, one shiny metallic tree fabric, one fuzzy tree fabric, one Batik from Thailand with waves of color swooshing around, looking ver much like bark. I wanted something from his hemisphere, since he's living in Singapore. All humans have a few different parts to their make-up and we don't want work or leisure activities overtaking family.

Sleepy owl, needs to be tucked into his little hole for night night time.

whole family quilt details

whole family QUILT

FINISHED!! and outside in better lighting!! Owlie is tucked into his hole, the leaves around the canopy are fluffy and fun with which to play. It's a veritable cornucopia of textures! There's a gold sheen to 6 fabrics as well as some of the embroidery thread, otherwise the colors are all within a 24 crayola crayon set.

Okay, now maybe we can tell more about the fabrics, starting from the left: daddy superman, mountains gramma, lake grampa, southwestern gramma, fishing grampa, cooking gramma, fuzzy sage-colored gramma, and nursery rhyme gramma, trains grampa, purple gramma, and mom with all the clothes, as mentioned in a different blog. Not remembering which are the GREAT grandparents.
