Illustration friday, "frozen" {birdsicles}

The Illustration Friday topic this week is "frozen" so I drew some frosty, frozen birdsicles. Here in Minnesota, we would call them "birds on a stick".

If you don't get that joke, consider yourself lucky. Check out other entries here.

Illustration friday, "flying"

The topic this week is "flying". I actually painted this last week, but think that it fits- I am dreaming of flying south for the winter...it already snowed here! Actually- just looked out the window and it is snowing RIGHT NOW! Its only October!

In my painting, the birds are tethered here too. I guess that's kinda mean, huh! Other {nicer?} entries here.

more custom wedding jewelry

Finished these necklaces today for an upcoming wedding, and took a quick photo for the ladies to peek at...still have 5 sets of bridesmaid jewelry to make as well.

These necklaces are freshwater pearls along with several shades of swarovski crystal to match the champagne accents on the dresses.

stitched studies

My sister and I are working together on a jewelry collection. These are a few stitched studies that I made and an inspiration board with swatches that we both collected.

More to come.

{oops- realized that I had categorized it as 'silkscreen', which it is most definitely not! It is watercolor and ink}
