30 Things in 30 Days for Spring!


My friend Amanda, over at GeekDetails, gave me an awesome idea to jumpstart Spring: create a new thing every day for an entire month. I thought this was a great way to introduce new items for spring line, as well as get my creative juices flowing!

So naturally I started with my favorite thing- vintage glass. I am always collecting more jewels and keeping an eyes out for unique beauties, cause I think they make simple pieces I design extra special.

So I sat down at my studio table, covered with all kinds of charms and chain, and found myself working on this delicate vintage flower bracelet. Nestled into the filigree flower is a gorgeous, old, two-color watermelon and icy green stone that has amazing fire. It carries this piece all by itself, which is one of the great things about old glass jewels. To complete it, I used long and short oval brass chain and one of the new vintage-inspired clasps I just got that I am really excited about.

I am thrilled with this first creation, and can't wait to see what new things pop up tomorrow :) To see the bracelet up close and personal, click here, or on the picture.
