Flamingo Festivities Artwork

I made this after a friend requested a “pink flamingo tree”. I
had two flamingos left after making his, which you’ll find in
this lovely tree. I also love the Poodle, the owls, and a large
dragonfly. Many other jewels make this tree really stand out.
The cherrywood colored wooden frame measures 30.25” X
24”.
My art pieces are created from jewelry pieces I obtain from
estate sales, garage sales, my own jewelry box, and the
generosity of friends and family. I also buy from retail stores
all year long. You’ll find me there for any clearance sales of
jewelry. I clean the pieces in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner
before using.
My next stop is thrift stores where I love to purchase frames
to reuse &/or recycle. After cleaning and sometimes repainting, they are ready-to-go. They’re not
perfect, but I think they are full of charm.
