| "JUNK MEETS ART" I call this one 'JUNK MEETS ART" ~ during one of my trips to the antique flea market, I found the antique escutcheon and skeleton key in a dusty old box along with other weathered found objects. I knew right away that I had to make something out it! And so here it is, a one-of-a-kind, chunky-funky statement necklace. It has some weight to it due to the size of the metal objects but you have to agree, it's a beauty, ain't it? |

| 'BLESS MY SOUL" This lovely piece is an assemblage of an antique broken rosary, an antique skeleton key, a vintage bible locket and a vintage Madonna medallion with a dove charm. Beautiful accent beads were used to finish off this charming statement of wonderous faith. |
You are an amazing talent! These are so beautiful! Where can I get your jewelry pieces and are the paintings in the background for sale? I love the woman with the baby. Love your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adrianna. I am still undecided where I will be listing the jewelry pieces. Right now, I would like to make a few more so that when I do list them, I will have a substantial amount to list along with paintings that I am working on. Please stay tuned. The mother and child piece is for a dear friend, sorry :-( But I plan to make more derivative pieces since I am frequently asked to create one. The nude is actually an unfinished piece that still needs to be tweaked here and there. Thank you so much for your interest. It means a lot to me!

ReplyDeleteI love the balance of lovely images and stronger elements. The warm feminine lines contrasted with the vintage heavy metal rosaries. Many layers and very thought provoking.
