Wow!! Anita, that is gorgeous! What a lot of work, and you did it perfectly. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteMelody, your necklace and bracelet are adorable. I love the lady bugs. You are so creative. I wished we lived closer together so we could clay together.

ReplyDeleteHi Melobeau
ReplyDeleteWow what outstanding work. just too wonderful I love it.Id pay $1000 if I could, you deserve it
I know what you mean by 1935 Circa as my sister had a similar necklace when she was about 15 I was younger. Hers was done in felt, but had Acorns I think in yellow, and Brown felt leaves. and was tied at the back, probably on a felt cord.I imagine yours would be more involved to do.
It really must have been the thing of the day Think this was in the 40s (Showing Age here) LOL).
But what a wonderful Idea you have taken it to. Just love it.
Found your post on my blog. just wasnt looking in the right place. Thank you so much.
Like B-LEE says Wish we were all in the same place so we could Clay together , and hear you play your lovely music too, that would be something.
Ill be back
love

P.S. Yes you are right about the Bakelite as the acorns I remember were yellow and shiny as if painted over with a shellac or something like that.
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky having PC as we can duplicate almost anything in PC that you see out there, and what a wonderful article you have made of it.
bye again
