Mini Jewelry

Our winter this year is unusually cold.  The rains which are plentiful are very welcome but the cold is really bad.  We are not well prepared for this cold.  My frost blisters are back although I wear warm gloves when we go out but still my fingers are red and swolen.  I  did manage to do some miniatures.  I can assure you that these pieces look much better than what came out in the photos.


To make these necklaces I used cheap earrings, found at the one shekel store, and some tiny nail decorating stones.  It is funny the way I buy earrings by the dozens, when personally I do not wear ones and my ears are not  pierced.


It is unbelievable how many miniatures I found on keyrings. Earrings, like jewelry findings have so many possibilities.

Now,  I am thinkin of makin little card boxes for each set of necklace and earrings and maybe a brooche as well.

A very warm welcome to my new follower,  thank you so much for following.

A very enjoyable weekend to all.  Blessings

  3. El invierno es cruel en todo el mundo.
    En México también hemos tenido demasiado frío y por mucho tiempo.
    Tus joyas son muy bonitas, siempre tienes buenas ideas, con las cosas que observas y miras.

  13. Your jewelry look like real ones. Good ide´ to use cheep earrings for the necklaces. I think I will use that tip.
    .
    Unlike you we have an unsually "warm" winter here in Sweden. Not much snow and cold weather. We had -14C for a few days in Febrary. Now it feels like the Spring is on its way to us. Today we had +10C and the sun has been shining for three days now. That feel good.....

  15. Sorry to hear about your frost problems, hope it will get better soon, stay warm and make yourself a cup of hot cocoa... Your jewelry is really precious, and you made me smile with your background info - isn't it amazing that we have some kind of miniature look when out for shopping... ;O)

    Greetings

  28. Your jewellery from earings is amazing! I'll have to start looking more closely at my broken bits.

    I hope your fingers are better soon :( I get the frost blisters on my toes and it's very painful so I know how sore you must be with them on your hands. You have my sympathies. Here we call them chillblaines)

  35. Drora, your jewelry is so very lovely, it’s always interesting to see the bits and pieces that you use so creatively. We are having an unusually warm winter, it makes me fear that we will have a cold spring. Take care of your talented hands, putting petroleum jelly on them will help protect them from the cold.
