earrings, flowers and beads oh my

i have long drawn and designed jewelry, clothing, and accessories without ever really taking the step to make them reality...

but i gradually started about a decade ago... adding ribbons to the plain tees or camis i would so often wear, which grew to painting my purses that i would buy at thrift stores... then escalating to flower hair accessories, beaded earrings, painted shells, and revamped vintage. i have painted and sold quite a few items, which is flattering considering i started doing things just for myself. here are some i have made over the past year.
