Refashioned Jewelry

I've been experimenting with refashioning vintage jewelry with crochet fabric strip medallions and chains.  I listed one piece in my Etsy shop and it sold.  I actually used  fabric selvage  for the pendant that sold on Etsy.  I've made a few more but haven't listed them yet. 

Yesterday I decided to try using vintage seam binding for the crocheted medallion.  These are the two pendants I finished yesterday.  Each medallion features a brooch.  The top one is Monet.  There is no mark on the fish.    The medallions are attached to a simulated pearl necklace.  All these items were purchased at the thrift store.  I will be listing these on Etsy tomorrow.

Belle Armoire Magazine Selection

I received great news today. One of my items has been selected for publication in Belle Armoire magazine. I hadn't even submitted anything to Belle Armoire but they selected an item I had submitted to Altered Couture. I'm excited to see my work in another of the Somerset Magazines. So exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a peak at the item.

Altered Shoes - Golden Fiesta

I recently recieved an email from the editor of Altered Couture Magazine encouraging me to submit altered shoes for their Spring issue. This is a sneek peak at the altered shoes that I submitted. I call them "Golden Fiesta". They began as a pair of gold leather pumps and were embellished. The finished shoe reminded me of a fiesta. So "Golden Fiesta" they became. Won't know for a few months if they are accepted for publication. This is my first pair of altered shoes.
