Vintage Earrings Become a Bracelet (Plus an Artist I Love)




There is a new charm bracelet for sale over at Graceful Leigh on Etsy. I altered several vintage earrings for this one of a kind charm bracelet. I then incorporated small crosses and angels. I also wire-wrapped orange and pearl drop charms. The pearl accents pick up on the pearls in the central repurposed clip earring. The orange compliments the orange tones in one pair of earrings used in this design.

In other news, I was searching Etsy for ways I could use a certain gift card I got from Midwest Maude and her family (also known as my Sister-in-law, Brother-in-law, nieces and nephew). While browsing I came across a wonderful artist on Etsy named Flor Larios.  Check out her amazing art! Her Flickr photo stream is here, where you can see even more.
Flor Larios ' Sacred Heart Jesus and Mary is for sale in Her Etsy shop.
