Husker Football Jewelry - Red Shell Earrings with Charm

Long Copper Hand Hammered Red Painted Earrings

These are gorgeous and stunning!

These long hammered copper earrings measure 2 1/2" long x 1 cm wide. I painted them with one coat of red acrylic (for metals) across, letting some of the natural patina of the copper show through slightly. I used gold plated earwire. These are stunning! Definitely a statement piece, but not too "loud;" geometric shapes in jewelry are really in right now and these are truly gorgeous! I can make them in a different color to customize for you if you'd like; I can also paint both sides if you prefer. The left photo shows the front, and the right photo shows the back sides which are the original color. Very Mod! $10

Candles I Made

I have several molds and used to make candles all the time before I started making jewelry. Especially fun was the pink "lace" candle on the left. Ice and a milk carton and melted wax, and voila! I didn't make these baskets, although I have figured out how to make the one below and plan to make some and sell them in my Etsy store. 




Display of Bath and Body Items

Here's a small grouping I did of some of my toiletries to show off the basket I painted, and the soaps and candle I made.

Cards Made into a Tree

This is a copied idea, actually. A friend of my mom's made this and I decided to copy it. You just take a long wooden dowel and carve a hold in a square piece of wood for a stand. Take the tops of greeting cards (typically Christmas, but it could be any card) and punch a hole about an inch from the short bottom edge. Curl the top corners over and staple them together, then slip each one over the dowel until you reach the top. You can put a star or whatever you want at the top. Makes a nice table-top Christmas tree, and you get to keep the cards as well.

I'm thinking of doing this on a grand scale into a full sized tree for the living room this year. I'd just stack several cards over each other on the bottom and graduate it toward the top, but would probably use the heavier cards toward the base and then lighter, litho cards on the edges and/or on top, or even make the entire thing with colored paper. It would be cool to have all different colors with maybe a hint of glitter. Instead of ornaments, you could hang flowy ladder or eyelash yarn. Only problem would be where to store it the rest of the year!

Fabric Covered Recipe Book

I was feeling patriotic this weekend and fabric covered a small book of recipes I hand wrote:
