Here are some new necklaces that I have been working on. It was really a lot of fun.This one takes me back to grade school when I used to wear a skate key around my neck. I always skated at recess. I love those kind of memories.
This one was a pin of a lady that I put on a flattened out spoon and added an old earring. Other earrings and beads on the chain.
I love making things like this. All the beautiful lace. This one is a lovely jar to store earrings or other jewelery.
And don't you love this little bird bottle. The top was already there so I just added some lace, beads and bling.
Had to make the back elegant too.
These are my fork easels. I have been making these for about seven years now and I saw they turned up in one of the Sumerset mags. They are so neat for light weight pics.
Thank you for stopping by to meet me and hear about My Tattered Elegance.
My name is Pat, I'm a self taught artist, junker and creative person. I paint on nearly any surface, make ribbon roses one petal at a time, do ribbon embroidery, form roses from the oven baked clay. I also do some sewing for my home.
My favorite pasttime is not going shopping at the mall, it is going shopping at a good yard sale, or fantastic estate sale or a big flea market. The thrill of finding that special something is better than chocolate (and I love chocolate). I'm even one of those ladies that stop and load my car with the cast offs on the side of the curb. Some of the curb trash becomes my best finds.
I'm at home here in Fort Worth, Texas and love it. I have a married daughter, Kim. She doesn't have any children only three cats. I also have a married son, Kent. He has two sons, Bryce and camron. Also one daughter, Payton. She is the one that comes and paints with me. And she loves to use my beads to make jewelry. Grand-daughters are so much fun.
