More projects finished

I worked on black slip dress and it is now finished.  Am happy with the end result and it will find it's way to my booth, dress form and all, this week.

Here is a close up of the top of the slip and a necklace I created.

I used a piece of vintage lace trim, dyed roses and corsage petals for the large corsage and tiny ones at the top.  The necklace was created using bits and pieces I have in my stash. 

Have also been working on necklaces made out of old keys, an old watch, and some Tim Holtz bits.  The earrings at the top of the form are out of my stash.  Click on the pictures to get a larger view in order to see detail of the slip dress and the necklaces.

This mannequin was made by Karen Lackey of Starshine Salon.  If you like this mannequin, you can find several for sale in her booth at Merchant Square.  The torso mannequins are well made and weighted so they stand up.  Check them out!

Colorful!!

When I saw this jewelry set, all I could think of was "Carmen Miranda".  Looks like something she would wear, only not quite so big!  Reminds me of the Carribean, Hawaii, Mexico -- anywhere there is lots of color and fun!

A three piece set -- necklace, bracelet and earrings.

What fun!  How colorful!  Get out the maracas and dance!

Jewelry

As you can see, there were a lot of really pretty pieces of jewelry at the flea market last Saturday. This is not all that I found. Some pieces are already in my showcase at Merchant Square. Got a bag full of those vintage watch faces. Can't wait to use them. The rest will be in my booth.
