I debated whether I could sell these or not....I sooooo wanted to create a beautiful item out of these. However I decided to give another person a chance!
Reds, pinks, greens.....blossoms, stripes, dots.....All of this screams SPRING!
THIS HAS SOLD~ I love using old items to make new jewelry.
I used an old crystal that I was told (by the previous owner) that they were obtained from a old Rhode Island Factory that shut down in the 1950s. The crystals were the "sweep ups". The crystals that had fallen to the floor and had been swept up.
The locket and all the findings are made from brass
To get a good pair of Lampwork beads, involves sometimes several attempts. I have learned if they are simple enough or not too big, that I can make them at the same time. This way I can compare them as I go.
Now for animal pairs, I have to make them generally twodifferent days. This way I can see one to compare size and features with. This is why they cost a little more the regular beads.
