I’m really excited about all the new jewelry supplies I got. I’ve been working mostly on pendants lately. I’m trying to make sort of off-beat cameos that have the look of Psychobilly Elegance. Hope you likey!

I crocheted this necklace for a swap and I really like it. The snap clasp is covered by a Vintage looking button. It can be worn with the button in front or in back.
My partner has received her package for the “Craft My Favorite Decade” swap, so I can post some of the stuff I made now. She liked the 18th century, so my crafts were inspired by Marie Antoinette. I did some research and watched both he PBS documentary and Sofia Coppola (very dissapointing) movie. I loved the tote bag so much, I made 2!
I’m starting with my favorite item. This tote bag is so awesome! I’m not a great sewer, but I gave myself a pat on the back for design. To think, I just had these scraps of fabric and lace laying around my craft room. 
This ruffle collar/neckwarmer was knitted in acrylic, then embellished with gray lace and gi’normous buttons. 
Trinkets included chandelier earrings (real and fake), crocheted cuff, a ring, cell phone charm, silhouette necklace and “Let them eat cake” mirror.
My partner also liked the 50s, so I tossed in some retro nautical-ish things.

Mermaid and hibiscus necklace
I sent a few more things, but nothing worth blogging about. Thanks for looking!
Spring is in the air, and my head is swimming with creativity. These peices are a different style of jewelry you’re used to seeing from me. Most people would call it “normal”, or “society friendly.” Whatever. They’re awesome. I like these little lovelies, and I hate to sell them, but a girl needs purse money. Ya know?
