Felted Fun!


I've been checking out CaterpillarPeacock on artfire today and I just love her felted plant necklaces! They're needle felted, something I've wanted to learn for ages. I'll be keeping an eye on this shop, I can't wait to see more felted plant jewelry!

Little Glass Leaves

I've been a bit hooked on making stained glass jewelry lately, completely ignoring other craft projects and even other stained glass projects.

My friend Luna asked me to make some pendants for her beautiful jewelry, and since we both love nature I decided to make some lead free stained glass leaf pendants.

These are only a few of the leaves I've made, as making them has become a hobby in itself; leaves have so many colors and shapes to choose from. Soon I found myself thinking of more things to do with them, so now I'm also working on making autumn colors and etching vein structures into them.

It's been fun picking out which ones to wear especially in mismatched pairs. I can play around with different colors , sizes, and shapes alone or in groups. I have a silver chain I like to wear them on and they slip on and off so the mix and match possibilities seem endless.
