I made this necklace from a calendar plate from 1915 and 
just listed it in my shop. I love the way it turned out! 









The bead is fluorite

Antique Red English Transferware: Old Britain Castles




This is the Old Britain Castles china pattern made by Johnson Bros and it's one of my
favorite china patterns. It was produced in a few different colors such as brown, lavender/eggplant, and this red. Some folks refer to it as pink, but it looks more
 red to me so I call it red.

I hope you have a great week

My Favorite Of The Bunch: Brown & Pink English Transferware Necklace




Yesterday I showed you the cut out shapes of jewelry that I've been working on
this week, and said how the brown with the pink rose was my favorite. Well I love
it even more now and if it doesn't sell right away I just might keep it for myself!
Well I guess I could always make another like it...

A Peek At What I'm Working On Right Now



More broken china jewelry!
I just finished all the metalwork on these last night and this morning I
polished them all up, added the chains and clasps and bails, and am now
working on the final photos...I will post them once they are finished, but I
have to say, they turned out beautifully! I especially love the square one
with the large pink rose and brown edge...wait till you see! 





the finished result....


What do you think?
Want to make your own jewelry from old broken china?








I hope you have a great week

Triple-Strand Pearl And Oxidized Sterling Silver Bracelet



I wanted to share with you one of my very favorite bracelets. I made it from 
small pearls and sterling silver wire, and I just love it. I wear it as a triple-strand
bracelet, but it can also be worn as a mid-length necklace.

As a necklace

Eye Candy: New Broken China Jewerly



I started taking some photos of my jewelry with my iphone5 instead of with my digital 
camera, and I've been really happy with the results. I use a few different photo edit apps 
to do much of the editing of each photo right on my phone before I even get them up on my 
computer screen. In any case, I took all of the photos below with my phone today. I did most
 of them on a window sill with indirect sunlight, and a few with a little sun. 


















































I hope you have a great week
