My newest (most favorite) Creation.


My newest creation at JuliaCatherine.etsy.com is this Filigree flower necklace that I have embellished with czech glass crystals and a small yellow vintage flower bead in the center. The centerpiece of the necklace is actually a pin i have found while i was antiquing in a nearby town. I have taken the pin, which i believe to be brass and removed the pin finding from the back. Then i took this pendant and gave it a nice dark patina. After all this i burnished it with a metal bristle brush to give it a nice shine. I then added a chain and the other beads. The result is this gorgeous necklace. Whats old is now new again!

Yesterday evening I stumbled upon a very welcomed surprise. I have been in about 4 treasuries this past week. 3 of them were with my limited edition peppermint earrings and the 4th one was my pair of cream patterned earrings on kidney wires in a treasury by MaryMary called "great gift ideas!" It was very exciting and I was able to get a screen shot of this special ocassion! That pair of earrings managed to accumulate over 300 views in the short time the front page was up and my shop JuliaCatherine.etsy.com had 19 users add it to their favorites. It sure was an exciting evening!
