I've been a busy little bee trying to make as many pieces as I can for the NORTH PARK CRAFT MAFIA SPRING LINE-UP CRAFT SHOW on Sunday, March 30th from 12-6pm.
I haven't done any decoupage, but I've been working with my jewelry mosaics like crazy! Here are some of the results!
After getting such great feedback on my pink mirror, I decided to do one in blues!
The piece at the very top is a 1920s pot metal brooch. I had this piece for the longest time and never had the perfect place to put it -- until now!
This piece has a faux carved jade brooch on top, surrounded by faux pearls. I wore this pin until recently, but the pearls kept falling out, one at a time. I finally decided it was too delicate for every-day use and it deserved to be featured on one of my mirrors!
I love the dangle at the bottom, because it brings movement to the piece!
This 1940s cigarette case had seen better days. The finish was dull and scratched, so I "dressed it up" with strands of multi-colored rhinestones and used a single faux turquoise and gold earring in the center. I think it looks fantastic, but I'm hoping it won't really be used for cigarettes!
Wouldn't this look fabulous sitting on a dresser or vanity?
This make-up brush could really be used to apply blush or loose powder, but wouldn't it just look gorgeous on a vanity in a woman's boudoir?
This tiny silver frame would be perfect to hold a picture of the one you love!
I'm still hard at work, so I will have more pieces to show you in a few days. Check back here soon!
