Bows & Baubles

Set off by a beautiful wooden gold frame, this tree is beautifully festive. From its gold and rhinestone
wreaths to butterflies and medallions, this is a sparkling
holiday tree. The frame’s outer edges measure 31 5/8” X 25
½”.
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.
Custom orders are available on a limited basis. They include
my jewelry, the buyer’s jewelry, and their personal ideas. I
limit the number of orders because these pieces take time to create.
