Come on, Spring!

My small project materials inventory exploded after 5 hours of thrifting yesterday!  See inspiration pictures below.  I bought glass vases to spray paint with stencil designs, frames of varying sizes, AND won some diamond tipped dremel bits for more wine charms and baby food jar candle holders.





Now if it would only warm up enough to spend more than 2 minutes at time in my workshop!  Too bad I can't spray paint inside...

Glass tile wine charms

Inspired by my bride-to-be officemate, I made these wine charms from some glass tiles I had leftover from another project.  Seed beads make them distinctive from each other.  Share vino, not germs.


On sale at Pgh craigslist for $20 for the set.  Glass and vino not included.  'Smine.

Wooden jewelry display

I made another one.  Yes, it's the same color, but what can I say?  That's what a signature color is for.  I like the paper better in this one, and the compartments are smaller.  Fun to make!  Fun to sell!


For sale on Pgh craigslist for $25.  Jewelry NOT included.  'Smine.
