We look forward to seeing more of this artists' creations!

Next is this special necklace by Albinarose.

Blue Crystals, Wood, and a Little Bluebird


Albinarose says:

Honestly, the photos do not do this necklace justice. It looks absolutely adorable on. I wanted to try something different by combining vintage blue crystals with little wooden beads.
They are connected with aniqued brass handformed eyepins. The pendant was purchased from BuyDefinition on Etsy.
I attached several jumprings at one end so that the necklace is easily adjusted from 15 1/2 inches to 18 inches in length with an antiqued brass lobster clasp. The pendant is maple wood and about1.5 inches (3.5cm) in diameter.
Rubber duckie...you're the one.....

The yellow ducks in these sweet earrings are made of Peruvian clay and each is nicely detailed with orange and black and has a glossy finish.
The ducks are arranged on a handcrafted coiled and wire-wrapped headpin of 14 kt gold filled wire and accented with Jet black 4 mm Swarovski crystal bicones and clear amber colored 4 mm Czech rondelles.
These earrings dangle approximately 1 1/4 inch from 14 kt gold filled earwires.
Not only are these really cute, but they've been carefully crafted of fine materials. They'd make a thoughtful gift for your favorite rubber ducky fan!
Thank you Bonprise!


Shiny hummingbirds swing beneath sparkling beads, while mixed metals lend an antiqued edge. The total length of these earrings (including earwires) are 2".
