Peacock Feathers Under Glass!

Close-Up of the Peacock Pendant. I design and do all of my own solder-work; these pieces are made "from scratch", not bought and repurposed. I also use actual beveled glass, the same glass used in making beautiful custom made doors and windows.
This particular piece involved wire-wrapping coordinating glass beads to showcase the pendant. Then it was finished with rolo chain. What's nice about the pendant is that the front and back are glass so the feather can be seen from both sides! Price: $72.00

...close-up of bead work.


This lovely piece was designed and constructed from scratch by myself, of course. I decided to go with a totally different look on this one by using fired ceramic beads that also complimented the feather pendant. This one is finished with copper chain~I love mixing my metals for a more unique look! Price: $72.00


Close-Up of Feather Under Glass Pendant~Exquisite!


I just love all of the deatiled texture and color seen in this small part of the feather!


With this design, I was able to preserve the beauty and shape of the feather; the wearer never has to worry about it fraying, breaking or getting caught on anything!

Skulls and Crosses and Hearts......Oh My!

Lovely Wooden Skull earrings are the perfect festive touch to add to any outfit this Spring!

This necklace is strung on red coral from the Orient making a striking look for this Skull-Heart-Cross piece. The choker is approx. 16"~but we can add a chain extender if needed for $5.00. This piece can be yours for $65.00
This piece uses the same popular Skull-Heart-Cross adornment accompanied by turquoise glass beads, vintage red glass beads and a rolo-chain. The glass flowers, vintage beads and pearls on the cross make this piece truely unique! Price~ $65.00

Fun at the Flea Market!


Going to the "Fleas" is up my alley! Had a blast in Long Beach at the Veterans Stadium Flea Market! Who couldn't use a little Grateful Dead art on a Sunday morning?




Signs, signs, show me a sign...Kat scoring some much needed treasures!




I love me a good seltzer bottle from the 20's! When we saw this display I was immediately taken back to when I was a kid watching Three Stooges reruns in the 1960's! Love the cool letters scattered about~What is the message here? Kool sex? Having fun with letters and words at the flea market!
