TIME TRAVEL THURSDAY-THE BRAMBLEBERRY COTTAGE

PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGE FOR A MORE DETAILED VIEW



As AUTUMN sets in I remember the last roses of Summer; the peaceful mornings reading a favorite book while sitting on the garden bench; and watching children playing in the sun. These were my thoughts as I created this Art Journal. Hopefully, the pages of my handmade journal will get filled with artwork during our cold Canadian winter, as I sit and watch the snow falling outside my windows.

Each of the mannequin images has been adorned with gold and brass jewelry charms and a bit of lace.

TIME TRAVEL THURSDAY-THE BRAMBLEBERRY COTTAGE

As a participant in the Time Travel Blog Party at The Brambleberry Cottage I am sharing a handmade watch that I designed and created. Although it may not travel that far back in time, it keeps me on time. I created it with transparent flat amber glass beads that have encrusted gold bands. I also selected gold metallic beads and the findings were all hand molded. Jewelry design and creation is one of my passions. I hope you like it.
