Your creation is wonderful Ayis. And the Ebay items are very tempting.
Thanx TOYA, you are giving me much honor for a first shot, simple and easy to make that is.
I have got so many bits surrounding my bigger and complete jewelry, that i don't know what to make with them. Each time i go somewhere i find my self filling my basket with loose beads, pendants, rings, ornaments.......they build up quite easily in the boxes tucked in drawers!!LOL
At one time i decided to begin making necklaces and bracelets using these old elements, there is so much available of them in countries of origin...so i was tempted to reuse them but felt compelled to achieve a perfect work and eventually abandonned the idea when i came across FAOUZI, MARIE-ANGE or LINDA's creations, now that was perfection.
Obviously i am lacking technical training and i am not only drawn in stringing elements but would love to contribute with a minimal smithing work such as making chain links or studding ivory beads with silver nails!!!
So i let other passionate persons in charge of this duty of bringing a new life to these little wonders.
You are lucky to have so much wonderful stuff to work with. Perfection in creative work is elusive. The ivory beads with silver nails sound intriguing. I look forward to seeing the next thing you create.
am bidding allready......
Wonderful things offered in your shop. I am sure you will have no trouble finding buyers. Best wishes, Anna
