Show and Tell

I was part of a little thing on Flickr called – Make 5.  I signed up for a couple and then in turn offered to make 5 things for the first 5 people who signed up for it.  Two of the gifts that I received were some really amazing mosaic pieces. First this adorable "purse" arrived out of the blue from Katherine.   For each purse she made there was a story attached – this was Jesse and you can read her story here.  She even made the "clasp" herself.

 

It really adds "life" to my room.  I think there should be at least a teeny bit of yellow in every room!  I love the beaded handle. Plus as you can see the prettiest yellow birds are attracted to it!

Next came the yummiest slice of cake ever!  Kelley at Teacups and Ponies is a truly gifted ceramic artist and works with broken china.

This slice has mossy frosting and layers decorated with little pearls and flowers and…

Oh my goodness…little birdies are attracted here also!

Adorable isn't it?

And what a relief when I finally was able to send off my own Make Five.  Being totally inept at mosaics I made 5 Blessing Rings.  They also have a little "bird" theme going on!  Occasionally I get enough made for my Etsy store.

They hang from a heavy copper ring that my husband makes for me with 50 yr old copper wire his grandfather gave him years ago.

So that's it – this is what I've been working on lately plus a beautiful May Day Tussie Swap but I think I'll save that for….May Day!

Have a fabulous weekend! :) Nancy

I'm joining Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.  It's so interesting to see all the creative things that people are doing!
