My Gift to my Mother...



Here is one of the gifts I gave to my Mom. It is a Sterling silver cuff bracelet with hand-stamped wording that reads: Always my Mother Always my Friend. I cut the sterling wire, stamped the letters, formed the bracelet, oxidized it, buffed, shined, and attached the chain and wire-wrapped beads. I think it turned out great and mom loved it!!!

Little Fancy Birdies....

Close-up of their fancy feet - in Swarovski beads and copper findings...
Miss Pink Birdie's gorgeous flower tail...
I hand-cut these precious birds out of various colored glass. I smoothed all the edges, soldered with lead-free solder, applied a copper patina, added their gangly beaded legs, and embellished with ribbons and flowers. -----So Cute!!!!

Cobalt Blue Birdie... This one is made out of wavy mirrored glass...
