Here are the ornaments made from tin cans and boxes on a small tree all ready for the holiday shop on Saturday. Did I tell you there are 5 other artisans showing their wonderful wares also?

Great cookies, candles, pottery, watercolors and note cards and all sorts of wonderful lavender products.

Tin Tree Ornaments! I made these especially for the It's a Wonderful...Shop. All they need is their little hangers and they will be finished. Now to work on some pies for Thanksgiving.

It's a Wonderful....Shop

On Dec 3rd I am getting together with other artisan friends and hosting a holiday shop. We all have been working quite hard on our art: a potter, a lavender farmer and potion maker, a watercolor painter, a baker, a candle maker and myself. I can't wait. There is so much great energy flowing!

The earrings are done and now I have moved on to making more tin bracelets. These are fun to make because I get to play with color. These need to be made into a 3D shape and then riveted together.

I am working on many pairs of earrings this week. These are the discs that need to be sanded, have holes drilled, and then riveted together before I finish them with hand made ear wires.

I am preparing for a holiday shop at my huse with other artisan friends. I will post more info very soon. Think watercolors, pottery, cookies, candles, lavender products, and lots of tin jewelry!

Lots of fresh raw materials from the Syracuse flea market at the regional market last Sunday. What fun I will have!
