Barbara's Me-own Folk Art

A Little Late

I made this last year and just found the picture-so a little late posting but here it is

Already sold-I just finish this necklace and it was gone. So happy. For the base I used a brass filigree -Used Patina for all medal by Ranger for the color -sealed with a medal sealer. Added the plane after I aged it a little. Attached the crystal & the chain.

Silver

I had these left over after using the lids for note holders. I decided to drill holes and add vintage crystals - they catch great light when hung by a window.

Tussie Mussie

I love maxing these-I covered the cone in paper then added some embellishments-put some strips of paper in the cone added the little bird.

Tube Necklaces

I used tube fuses-for the necklaces-added some German glass grittier and a printed word for the inside.

Just For Fun

A fun neckless I made. I hope some one will love it.

Keys

Fun and quick necklaces. Just wire wrap the keys, make a loop and add the chain.

Pitch Magazine

My pieces were publish in Pitch Magazine las fall.

Hinges

Here is some of my hinged jewelry.

I painted some and added rhinestones

Added filigree to some
