An Item A Day - Day 11 - A Twofer Day!

It's Saturday and I feel like celebrating so I am putting two items on today!  

Yesterday I discovered blog search.  Oh my, what fun I had looking at so many different blogs.  This could be dangerous.  I kept reading and reading and reading, and getting nothing made here.  I did find some wonderful people though.

Here are today's offerings:

An Item A Day - Day 10

The snow is back in Western New York.  Go away snow - shoo, shoo....

This lovely pair of dangles reminds me of ice.  When you stand on the shore of Lake Erie and look across the water in the Winter.  You see all sorts of beautiful, very cold looking colors, blue and white predominating.

So - here's to Winter ice, and today's item:

Blue Ice Crystals - Sterling Silver Pierced Earrings

Creamy blue faceted glass beads are the focal point accompanied by white glass pearls and silver toned filigree. Topped and tipped with sparkling blue Swarovski Crystal.

Hanging from Sterling Silver ear wires, this pair dangles about 1 1/8" or 25 mm.

An Item A Day - Day 5 - A Change of Pace

Well, here we are at day 5 of my 30 day self challenge.    Just for some variety, today I have posted one of my sculpted Swarovski Crystal trees. This was a collaboration between my hubby and me.  I scuplt the trees, mount them to their bases and felt the bottoms.  Don adds the crystals when I am finished.    I'm afraid I haven't mastered the technique of photographing sparkling things yet.  I wish I could grab the twinkle of these trees with my camera!

Sculpted Amethyst Swarovski Crystal, Wire and Rock Tree - OOAK  

Over 80 Sparkling Amethyst Swarovski crystals were used to create this one of a kind wire tree. 

Tarnish resistant silver colored wire is hand twisted into a rustic, natural looking tree. Then each crystal is individually put in place. 

The piece is mounted on a small great rock I picked up from a prehistoric lake bed. 

The entire piece stands about 4 1/2 tall. The base of the rock measures 1 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches. 

The bottom is covered in felt where it will sit to protect your furniture or glass shelf. These trees look absolutely dazzling in a lit show case!
