Nesting!

With temperatures rising and days getting longer it actually feels like it is finally Spring! In celebration I decided to create a nest with personalized eggs. It was a relatively quick and simple project.

I used simple wooden eggs that I stamped with the names and created a super simple nest from a six inch wreath, a cardboard bottom stitched on with jute twine.

"Reading is Good for You" Treasury

Today I was honored to find that my personalized aluminium waves bookmark was featured in very lovely Etsy treasury "Reading...it's good for you". Special thanks to ChristinaPerdue!

Christina offers fine art photography in her lovely Etsy shop ChristinaPerdue. Personally, I love these softly hued pink and white flowers, titles "I Let Love In". It has a lovely rustic elegance that is so me!

Hand Hammered Bookmark

Recently I made this hand hammered bookmark for a good friend. The aluminum bookmark is hand cut from aluminum sheet metal and hand hammered, lending it slightly irregular edges and a very unique, handcrafted appearance. Next I rounded the corners of the metal (safety first!).

Then I personalized the bookmark with a single letter ‘H’. Finally I finished the bookmark with a 3-inch super soft black leather tassel.
