Bird pendants never get old to me. Maybe to some people, but I think you can never have too many birds. This little guy is a favorite. I love turquoise anything. Unfortunatly, he is gone for the time being... hopefully to revisit soon.

I want to start making some pendants from vintage illustrations... but the whole copyright thing is scaring me off. It seems complicated. I don't want to think something is in "public domain" and then find out it's not.

But seems a bit complicated.

New Pendants

I've already posted a few of these on etsy, but some I'm still working on. McTweets needs a little redo and I've got to touch up the birds. Soon they'll be added to my etsy shop.

These are a pair of my favorite earrings.... I might just take them down from etsy and keep them for myself. Sometimes it is hard to post things, send things... when I like them so much!

So I might begin to make some pouches

Sometimes I like to do more then just polymer and beads. I think I'll make a small line of pouches (zipper and snap) and test out those waters. I prefer larger pouches myself... then I can stick everything in them. My newest one is 6" x 7" and I've claimed it for myself. Once I perfect my technique and make a few more, I'll post them on greenleafandowl.etsy.com.

Hmm... but what materials, colors, sizes...
