Jewelry Findings

My trip to Tel-Aviv was worthwhile.  I found the bead and jewelry craft shop half the size it used to be.  It seems that due to recession business was slack and they closed the jewelry tools section.  At least, after a lot of rummaging, I found heart shaped frames in two sizes, the square ones were gone.  I also found some large, clear plastic beads which can serve as "glass" plates for cakes or hanging kitchen lamps.

Here are photos of my experiments with these pieces.  I made dressing-table trays  and more boxes.  The boxes can be filled with cookies or chocolates as well as jewelry. I had fun making powder boxes, nail polish bottles, perfume bottles, etc. to fill the trays.  The perfume bottles are inspirations from Jennifer (www.plushpussycat.com.) and Maria Angeles (http://nipuntonicom.blogspot.com/), not as beautiful as the ones I received from you and treasure, but pretty enough.





 The cake is on the bead I mentioned.  It will look better with a  white crocheted doily underneath. Another experiment I do now.

Can't decide which I like better, the black or the white one.  Next I'll try other colors or perhaps decoupage....  The tiny goblets I put together from earrings pieces.

I am thrilled and happy to welcome new followers and am very grateful to you for finding my blog:

    Hello Drora! You have bought very nice jewelry findings. I like them too, I love to work with it. It is a pity that I can not click your photos, the screen gets black and I can not place a comment on your blog. So I have not seen everything quit well. This problem is already a week going on, I think its a problem of blogspot, I hope they solve it soon.
    Your work is wonderful,I love the heartshape jewelry and your miniatures you have made of it very much. Have a great weekend, hugs, Ilona
