Hi! Just wanted to show you what I've been working on. It's a beautiful
ballerina ornament. She is made on beveled glass, and is sprinkled with just a bit of glitter.
I've always loved dance, and especially ballet. My lovely sister and nieces are amazing dancers. :)
I changed things a bit and tied the ribbon with the bow on the bottom. I think it's prettier that way.
I'm not a huge "color" girl, and prefer muted shades, but I added a bit of greens, and blues and even orange to the flowers. I think it's killer looking. I just love the way it turned out. ;)
Here's a load of old enamel watch faces I was fortunate enough to pick up in Ventura a few years back. My plan was to cut circles out of glass and encase them. That took too long and is harder than you think to cut circles (or at least it is for me) so I ended up adding a sterling post to the back and...
Bingo! Beautiful charms to add to a bracelet or necklace. I'll be bringing some to Palm Springs tonight, along with more new ornaments. Hope you have an amazing day. Take care, Martha

I love these Martha! So sorry I haven't received your emails. I temporarily shut everything down after my stalker issue. My girlfriend already received something kind of like the K for her birthday. is it going to be a big inconvenience for you if I change my mind? Hope you are doing well! Kori xoxo
Love the ballerina.
I used to be a ballet dancer, I bet you didn't know that. I taught ballet too!!
Love the clock faces too. I have been looking for those all over.
Now I know where they are.
Great on both Martha!
Hope you do very well tonight!

Martha this has got my name all over it. The way you have displayed it is probably just how I would. I have a large tin tile over my bed and have been looking for just the right thing to put up there. So beautiful.
hugs
Martha what a beautiful creation the ballerina is. Just enough glitter and colour. Love it

Hi Martha,
This ballerina ornament is absolutely gorgeous. I love the soft colors too. Her face and all that crinoline are just so very pretty. I love all your photos too - the metal tin prop is stunning.
Oh yes, it's been perfect weather hasn't it? But we are getting rain! I'm always happy about that.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Martha,
