New Jewellery in the Crafty Green Poet Etsy shop

Sometimes local second hand shops sell bags of jewellery that has sat on the shelves for a long time and not sold. Some of the jewellery is danaged, some isn't. I like to take apart the damaged jewellery and use as many of the bits to make new items.

These lovely painted blue beads came from a necklace that was mostly made of cloves! Originally I'd tried to incorporate them into a beaded lanyard but I didn't like the designs I was incorporating them into so instead I matched them with some smaller blue beads from my stash and made two pairs of earrings and a pendant. (The earring hooks are brand new and nickel-free.)

These are now available in the Crafty Green Poet Etsy shop, one pair of earrings plus the pendant here and the other earrings here.

I also recently added a new beaded lanyard to the shop here.

I remember asking my mother how she knew I was doing x thing, and she told me she had eyes in the back of her head. I was age three or four or so. Tried to puzzle THAT one out for a while!
These earrings would definitely expand one's peripheral vision. Or at least appear to do so.
