Religious Necklaces

New items in my Etsy shop!  I finally had some time to sit down and wire wrap some beads!!

Soldered Pendants

Since my time to create has been limited lately, I have decided to sell some of my soldered pendants.  It is, after all, my favorite part of creating jewelry and the hardest part as well!  I love it though!  Pouring the resin is the trickiest part.  Making sure there are no bubbles and then there's always that stray piece of dust that seems to act like a magnet to the resin.  It is frustrating at times, but, as I said, I love it!

Here is the first of many to follow in my Etsy shop...

Isn't she lovely??  I am hoping to see her go to a good home!  Perhaps someone will use her in their jewelry or just add a chain and where her as is.

I am at the end of my vacation and I still have so much to do.  I am sooo tired of painting black doors, lol!!  I'm almost done though and I still love the look.  Have a great day!

Madonna and Child Necklace with Vintage Rhinestones!

My newest addition to my Etsy shop and my new favorite of all the jewelry that I have ever created.  I don't know what it is about this piece, it just speaks to me.  It is my favorite Madonna and Child image, but then again maybe it's all the bling!!

Vintage Prayer Cards

As a little girl I remember going through a drawer in my mom's dresser where she kept her jewelry box, her bible and a box full of beautiful prayer cards.  I would sit for hours and be amazed at the vintage holy graphics.  Our bible had amazing religious Renaissance pictures in it.  I wish I could find another one like it.  It got lost somehow in the shuffle after my dad passed away.  And the holy cards that she had!  Wow!  I had aunt's that were nun's and I don't know if they gave her some of them or if she just picked them up at church or funerals. Unfortunately, after mom passed, my dad got rid of them all, not thinking that anyone would want them.  I am inspired by these beautiful cards and use a lot of them in my jewelry.  I also use vintage rhinestones, which I always loved to look at in mom's jewelry box.

I miss those days, the wonder and the marvel of a great new discovery!  I hope to collect a few vintage holy cards just to bring back the memory of sitting in her room. 

Religious Jewelry on Etsy!

New religious jewelry on Etsy!  Beautifully handmade bezels embellished with vintage rhinestones!  Yummy jewelry!  I am so excited to be creating again!!  I have missed it so much.  I can't do a no brainer job and am so relieved to have quit and start getting back to me.  I may not be rich, but at least I am happy!
