Poodles, Poodles Poodles

A client asked me to  make her some tin jewelry with poodles in it because she had some adorable poodles.

Not finding any poodle tin in my collection, I went shopping on the internet and found these poodle tin children's toys. (www.orphanedtreasures.etsy.com)


I purchased them and started working on the jewelry: earrings and a bracelet. My first attempts came out like this:


Although she liked the earrings, I changed them a bit match the poodle colors a bit more.  The bracelet was just a bit too wide to work well as a cuff.  So back to the studio and the 2nd design came out so much better:



I learned more about construction and she really liked the results.

It is always fun to wander a flea market and discover new finds.  Went walking today with my husband for Father's Day to the Ithaca, Ny Found Flea.  What an enjoyable flea market.
