Refurbished Fairies

I have two garden fairies that have suffered some serious sun damage over the years. Slowly I've been working on repainting them so they can rejoin my flowers.
I only have 1 before picture, but there is pretty much no color left in either of them.

 

This one turned out to be my favorite when it was finished. Although I'm far from being a professional painter, I think it turned out pretty well. 

 This one turned out pretty well too. The big rose on top is a solar light, so I keep it by my stairs so I can see when I get home from work.

I love these little garden fairies! I'm always on the lookout for more to add, but it seems like they're hard to find.

Until next time,

Wishing I could comment

I know that this blog is set up as a free site, but it's really frustrating when I can't comment. For some reason I can comment on a few profiles, then others won't let me at all. Oh well, I guess I will just have to find a way around it. Anyways, for those of you who think I've forgotten, I've still been keeping an eye on you. Hopefully I'll be able to write you soon!

Finally Some Jewelry

I've been really slacking on getting some pictures of my jewelry up here. These last few weeks have been really busy. The biggest thing holding me back is that I have a ton of pieces made but I have to take pictures of them all. This was a bigger project than I thought! Well, so far I only have a few necklaces done, but hopefully soon I'll be able to get the rest up.
This on is a favorite of mine. 

This is another. I love these drop beads that I found forever ago.

These are what I call a "floating" necklace. I use crimping beads to make it look like the beads are floating around your neck.

These gold beads are hand-wrapped with black wire.

Turtle necklace

I know the stone rabbit pendent is a little weird, but I love it with the pieces of jasper.

I love that this one has a Gothic feel to it.

This was my first experiment making a choker. I didn't really have a great way to display it. There is some give to the necklace so that if gives you some breathing room.

This green one took me forever. I had to had attach all the little pieces to make a woven pattern.

These are some more chokers made with memory wire. They will stretch to fit, but maintain their shape.
