One Love

...lets get together and be alright 

You must know this is highly unusual for me to have a valentine piece of jewelry made well ahead of this fun holiday, it usually occurs to me a few days ahead of the actual day.

I had purchase a few pieces from Menagerie Studio and this heart was my inspiration, Martha's pieces are so unique and really make a statement where ever you use them. I love her layering of color and texture. The copper charm bracelet is from Auntie's Beads. I oxidized the bracelet and then buffed it to bring back some of the copper color. A great solid copper sturdy bracelet, this would take patina's so well! I see another project .....!

 

I have received these beads free of charge from Auntie's Beads in order to write a review and/or create a project free of charge for you. I have not been paid for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received.  

Mosaic Heart

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.

I have always enjoyed making mosaics...pots, lamps, mirrors and I once did a large plant pedestal. I always work with vintage and antique china...to give life back to the once discarded broken dishes. When I received this copper heart from Artbeads.com as part of their blogging program I wanted to fill it with the shards of once loved blue willow and flow blue china. Instead of grouting in between, resin has been used to preserve the china. Right now Artbeads.com is having a sweetheart of a sale 15% off orders $60 or more, plus free US. shipping.

You can find this pendant in my Etsy shop.
