Flowers

 

Seems I can't stop thinking about flowers right now.  It's always a miracle to go out and see what has started to bloom.  So I thought, why not do a flower blog?  If you want to participate, please leave two of your handmade floral items in the link up below.  The link up is open until noon my time (Rocky Mountain time) this Wednesday, May 26.  I hope to have the blog ready to share on the morning of Thursday, May 27.  As always, I ask that you share all the items on at least 2 social media sites and also the blog when it's done.

Look forward to seeing LOTS of flowers!

Sky Blue Purple Flower Earrings, Czech Glass Pansies Handmade Jewelry

The one of a kind "Pretty Pansies" handmade flower earrings feature sky blue Czech glass pansy beads and plum purple melon beads - jewelry gift for women.

The PRETTY PANSIES handmade flower earrings are super sweet to wear all spring and summer long. Perfect floral jewelry for the woman who likes smaller earrings, the beauties feature sky blue Czech glass pansy flower beads, purple Czech glass melon beads and sterling silver. The focal of the two-sided earrings are the amazing Czech glass flower beads in a glossy sky blue silk color. The pressed glass beads have five petals and a recessed center with a starburst design. To highlight the sky blue flowers and to add a bit of a vintage look, a plum purple and metallic bronze Picasso finish was applied. It settled into the center of each flower and on the edges, each side being just a bit different. The flowers are capped on the top and bottom with a set of two tiny sterling silver disc spacers. Since the glass pansies are two-sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle. To complement the pansy flowers beautifully, bringing out the colors of the center, translucent plum purple Czech glass melon beads were used. Glowing amazingly in the light, the beads have a metallic bronze Picasso wash. Two sterling silver disc beads and a single sterling round tops the melon beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PRETTY PANSIES earrings are a wonderful gift for the woman who loves flowers (perhaps a flower gardener?) and wearing one of a kind, artisan-designed jewelry.

The Czech glass flowers are two sided, a flower design impressed on each side making the earrings the beautiful from any angle.

Millefiori Flowers Disc Earrings, Enamel Pink Blue Handmade Jewelry

The "Bellissimi Fiori" handmade earrings feature artisan millefiori enamel discs, artisan lampwork glass beads, Swarovski crystals and Czech beads - unique jewelry for women.

Sweet millefiori flower jewelry for spring and summer wear, the one of a kind BELLISSIMI FIORI handmade earrings are a perfect Easter or Mother’s Day gift for the woman who loves flowers. The dangle earrings feature artisan millefiori enamel discs, artisan pink lampwork glass beads, blue Swarovski crystals and pink Czech glass beads. The beautiful discs were artisan hand cut and filed from copper and hammered to create a concave dome shape. The domes were given a pink enamel glass background, shading from a light pink to a darker pink. To create the floral pattern, tiny multi-colored millefiori glass beads in mainly shades of blue, aqua and lavender were randomly added and melted with a high heat torch. Millefiori, a glass technique originally developed in Italy, is Italian for “thousands of flowers.” As you can see in the photos, each disc has a different millefiori flower design, beautiful against the pink background. The back of the discs are also enameled with pink and lavender.  To perfectly complement the enamel flower discs, three different types of beads were used. Just above each disc is a rich pink lampwork glass beads. The shape is a somewhat smashed flying saucer shape that has ridges on the top and bottom. Since the lampwork beads are translucent, they absolutely glow when the earrings are worn. Just above each lampie, separated by a small sterling silver daisy spacer, is a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a regal dark blue color called “indigo.”  Separated from each crystal by a small sterling disc spacer is silky, matte finish pale pink Czech glass bead that also glows in the light.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BELLISSIMI FIORI earrings are perfect for the woman who loves to flower garden, owns a flower shop or just just loves the soothing beauty of flowers. “Bellissimi fiori” is Italian for “beautiful flowers.”

Lavender Pink Boho Hoop Earrings, Enamel Flowers Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "You Look Mauvelous" handmade earrings feature artisan cut out hoops and freshwater peacock pearls - unique boho jewelry for women.

Definitely for the woman who loves unique boho jewelry, the YOU LOOK MAUVELOUS handmade earrings are fun and flirty to wear, marvelous indeed!  The one of a kind, lightweight to wear beauties feature artisan enamel gogo hoops with circular cut out and a floral design and dot design. Large glowing peacock pearls are found above. Individually artisan made, the hoops started out as copper blanks with a cut out circle placed closer to the top of the hoops. Mauve-y lavender and pink enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of the hoops using a butane torch. A stencil and white glass powder was used to create five flower petals along the bottom of the cut out and a dot design at the top. Because the cut out hoops were individually hand enameled, they are very similar but also a bit different. The back of the hoops are finished with black enamel. A gorgeous freshwater peacock pearl is found above each enameled floral hoop. The pearls are a larger size and a scrumptious color to perfectly complement the colors of the hoops. As you can see in the photos, the pearls have a blue-gray body tone. What makes them a “peacock” pearl is their amazing radiance with a purple, pink and blue overtones, sometimes color shifting depending on the angle of the light. They are not perfectly round but more of a slight oval shape. A single copper disc spacer caps the top and bottom of each pearl. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the YOU LOOK MAUVELOUS earrings were created for the woman who has a tendency to wear uber-fun, one of a kind, artisan jewelry.

The lavender and pink enameled cut out gogo hoops were individually artisan enameled with a flower petal and dot design.

Here's the important information for the YOU LOOK MAUVELOUS hoop earrings:

• Enameled cut out floral hoops: app. 25 mm x 2 mm (0.98”); artisan handmade by Pearly Karpel
• Freshwater peacock pearls: app. 11 mm x 10 mm (0.43” x 0.40”)

Heart Flowers Earrings, Valentines Purple Red Copper Handmade Jewelry

The "Bei Cuori" handmade earrings feature artisan hand painted hearts and flowers copper dangles and glowing Czech glass druk beads - unique jewelry for women.

Beautiful for your sweetheart at any time of the year, these handmade BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings are a perfect gift for Valentines Day and Mother’s Day, especially for a woman who loves to grow flowers. The one of a kind earrings feature colorful artisan created copper dangles along with glowing etched Czech glass beads. The oh-so-pretty hearts and flower charms were artisan made from beginning to end from pure copper. The design is a partial daisy design in a heart, the flower raised to provide wonderful texture to the charms. To highlight the flowers, the charms were individually hand painted: a rich red for the floral disc and violet purple for the petals. To protect them for years of wearing pleasure, the charms were coated with a glass like resin finish. 
Exquisitely complementing the colors of the hearts and flowers charms are etched Czech glass druk beads. The beads started out with a clear glass base, were etched for a rustic vibe and then partly coated with a dramatic metallic raspberry pink finish and / or a color shifting aurora borealis finish. The druk beads on the bottom have an aurora finish on about ⅓ of the beads, shifting in color from golden to blue to green and several others depending on the angle of the light. The upper beads have the metallic raspberry finish which has a mystic red to orange shift. Since the finishes are only on ⅓ of the beads, the earrings are constantly changing as the beads rotate. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the beautiful earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings will be a cherished jewelry gift for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, artisan designed jewelry. “Bei cuori” is Italian for “beautiful hearts.”

Chunky Heart Flowers Necklace, Copal Turquoise Brass Handmade Jewelry

The "Mon Coeur" handmade necklace features a vintage brass heart and flowers pendant, rich copal rondelles and vintage hand cut turquoise nuggets - bold jewelry for women.

Filled with beautiful chunky goodness, the one of a kind MON COEUR necklace is perfect for a woman who loves to wear bold statement jewelry. The eye catching necklace features a vintage brass heart with flowers pendant, gorgeous copal rondelles, old rustic turquoise and copper. The pendant was made in India out of solid brass and was used for trade in Africa - it was collected in Ghana. A cut-out heart shape, the pendant also includes three five petalled flowers and three swirling leafy vines. The raised areas are polished while the recessed areas have a darker patina to bring out the details of the pendant. The cut out design of the pendant allows whatever color clothing you’re wearing to show through, adding unexpected glamor. A decorative bail attaches the pendant to the main body of the necklace. The back of the pendant is silky smooth.  To perfectly complement the pendant, pressed copal and rustic turquoise were chosen. Even though the copal used in the necklace has an amber look to it, it is NOT amber (unfortunately copal is sometimes passed off as being real amber). Amber is fossilized tree resin and is millions of years old. Copal is also tree resin, but it hasn’t gone through the fossilization process and can be as “young” as thousands of years old. Pressed copal means it was melted down and reformed (pressed) into beads of the same size. The pressed copal rondelles used in the necklace are a rich butterscotch yellow with more than a hint of orange. Five groups of three copal rondelles are found on each side of the necklace, each rondelles separated by a glowing flower-shaped copper spacer. To add sinuous drape and pops of color between each grouping of copal, vintage turquoise were used. Since each bead of the old turquoise was individually hand formed, the beads are similar in size but not exactly the same. Some of the turquoise have dark matrix running through the beads and some don’t. To securely fasten the necklace, it’s finished with a textured solid copper toggle clasp. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MON COEUR heart pendant necklace was created for the woman who loves bold artisan jewelry with a story! “Mon coeur” is French for “my heart.”

The vintage pendant was made from solid brass and features a cut out heart design with flowers.

Here's the important information for the MON COEUR handmade necklace:

• Vintage brass heart and flowers pendant: app. 57 mm x 48 mm x 4 mm (2.25” x 1.9”)
• Copal rondelles: app. 26 mm x 10 mm (1” x 0.4”)
• Vintage turquoise nuggets: on average, app. 8 mm x 7 mm (0.3” x 0.28”)
• Metal: bronze and copper
• Clasp: textured copper toggle clasp set
• Length: app. 18.25” / 46.4 cm
• Pendant drop: app. 2.25” / 5.7 cm

Blue White Flower Earrings, Enamel Lampwork Boho Handmade Jewelry

The gorgeous "A Field of Blue" handmade earrings feature artisan blue flower enamel dangles, artisan frosted lampwork glass beads, sapphire blue roller beads and leafy bronze bead caps - unique floral jewelry for women.

The charming A FIELD OF BLUE handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves to wear bold, boho-style flower jewelry. Reminiscent of a gorgeous field of swaying dark blue flowers, the beautiful one of a kind earrings feature artisan blue, green and white enamel floral dangles, glowing artisan frosted white lampwork glass beads, sapphire blue Czech glass roller beads, bronze bead caps, copper and sterling silver. The captivating enamelled copper long rectangles, which are almost 2” / 5.1 cm long, were individually created. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of the copper rectangles at very high heat with a torch. Azure blue glass powder was torched onto the white background to create the individual flowers, with lines of green glass powder to form the stems of the flowers. Black enamel finishes the back of the rectangles.  To perfectly complement the flower dangles, frosted white lampwork glass beads, premium quality blue glass roller beads and patinated bronze bead caps were used. The lampwork glass beads, located just above the flowers, were individually artisan created from clear glass. To add a frosted sea glass look, the beads were acid etched. Because the beads are frosted, they glow amazingly when the earrings are worn (please see photos #2 and #8 to see pics of the earrings hanging). A bronze bead cap with a leafy design clasps the top of the lampwork beads. Just above the frosted beads are faceted, richly colored sapphire blue Czech glass roller beads. Since the roller beads were created from translucent blue glass, they beautifully glow and sparkle. Leafy bronze bead caps were placed on the top and bottom of the roller beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique A FIELD OF BLUE boho earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear exquisite, one of a kind designer flower earrings.

The "A Field of Blue" handmade flower earrings shown hanging - just look at how the frosted lampwork beads sapphire blue beads glow!

Blue Red Flower Earrings, Pansy Czech Glass Crystal Handmade Jewelry

The "Flores Azules" handmade earrings feature blue with red Czech glass pansy flowers, Czech crystals and two shades of red glass beads - unique jewelry for the woman who loves flowers.

The FLORES AZULES handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who adores flowers. Perfect to wear all summer long - or all year long! - the one of a kind earrings feature blue Czech glass pansy flower beads with red highlights, Czech crystal rondelles and two shapes and shades of red Czech glass rondelles. The two-sided Czech glass flower beads started out as medium sky blue glass poured into the shape of a pansy with a recessed design in the middle. To bring out the gorgeous detailing and to give a rustic vintage look to the flowers, a Picasso finish in rusty red and moss green was added and then polished off the faces of the beads. The finish settled in the recessed areas and can be found on the sides of the beads, adding extra beauty to the flowers. Since the pansy flower beads are two sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle.  To perfectly complement the flowers and to add fun color and mega sparkle to the overall design, Czech glass crystals and red Czech glass beads were stacked above the pansy beads. Just above each flower is a silver rondelle set with seven Czech crystals in a rich blue color called indicolite (named after rare blue tourmaline). A bright scarlet red Czech glass bead nestles into each crystal rondelle. Since the beads are filled with small facets, they add not-so-subtle sparkle to the earrings. On top of each bright red bead, separated by a small sterling silver daisy spacer, is a dark red opal glass bead. Since these glowing beads are translucent, they look like they are on fire when the earrings are worn. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLORES AZULES pansy flower earrings were created for the woman who loves flowers (perhaps a gardener?) and loves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry. "Azules flores" is Spanish for "blue flowers."

The beautiful flower earrings were created from medium sky blue glass with a red and mossy green Picasso finish to bring out the floral details.

Here's the important information for the FLORES AZULES handmade flower earrings:  

• Czech glass flowers: app. 15 mm x 5 mm (0.6” x 0.2”); red & moss green Picasso finish
• Indicolite blue Czech crystal rondelles: app. 7 mm x 3 mm
• Faceted bright red Czech glass beads: app. 6 mm x 3 mm
• Faceted dark red Czech glass beads: app. 5 mm x 3 mm
• Metal: sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks
• Length: app. 1.75” / 4.5 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Red Poppies Flower Earrings, Red Coral Vintage Look Handmade Jewelry

The "Papaveri Rossi" handmade earrings feature artisan red poppy copper dangles and hand cut red coral discs - unique jewelry for the woman who loves flowers.

Beautiful for spring and summer wear, the charming PAPAVERI ROSSI handmade earrings have a lovely vintage feel to them. The one of a kind flower earrings feature artisan created red poppy charms that are reminiscent of faded Victorian botanical illustrations. Rustic red coral discs are a perfect pairing to the red poppies. The eye catching poppies dangles look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins - but they only mimic rustic vintage tins. The dangles were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied for the faux tin look.  A field of red poppies against a creamy white background with green buds and stems are found on each charm. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  The red poppy copper dangles are perfectly complemented with hand cut red coral discs stacked above them. Three discs were used, capped on the top and bottom with small copper daisy spacers. Because the red coral was hand cut, they are very similar in size and finish but are not exactly the same. A glowing copper bicone bead finishes the stack. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PAPAVERI ROSSI handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves flowers, especially eye catching red poppies. “Papaveri Rossi” is Italian for “red poppies.”

Pastel Flower Hoop Earrings, Vintage Victorian Handmade Jewelry Gift

The lovely "Victorian Whimsy" dangle earrings feature artisan made copper floral hoops, Swarovski crystals and copper - unique flower jewelry for women.

Looking as if they were much beloved floral jewelry from the Victorian era, the VICTORIAN WHIMSY handmade earrings truly radiate an enchanting vintage charm. The one of a kind beauties feature artisan created pastel pink flowers on minty green copper hoops and two shades of sparkling pink Swarovski crystals. Individually artisan made, the whimsical aged flower images were permanently transferred to a length of copper sheeting and then folded into a hoop, the edges carefully filed and sanded for smoothness. The intricate floral design has old Victorian vibes with various shades of “faded” pink flowers against a pale mint green background. The flower image runs the full length of the hoop, front to back.  The inside of the folded hoops is shiny copper, a perfect complement to the mint green and provides a vibrant glow. Since each hoop was individually made, they are very similar in design but not exactly the same.  To highlight the pink flowers of the earring design, two shades of pink Swarovski crystal faceted bicones were stacked above the flower hoops. The darker pink crystal is called “rose” and the upper lighter pink crystal is called “light rose.” Each crystal adds a huge dose of the spectacular sparkle that Swarovski crystals are famous for. A small copper disc spacer separates each crystal.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind VICTORIAN WHIMSY earrings were created for the woman who loves unique flower jewelry with a delightful vintage look.

The beautiful hoops were individually artisan handmade, copper strips folded into a hoop with a permanent metal transfer.

Here's the important information for the VICTORIAN WHIMSY flower earrings:

• Floral copper hoops: app. 18 mm x 10 mm (0.71” x 0.4”); artisan handmade by Helena Benkoczka
• Dark pink Swarovski crystals: 4 mm faceted “rose” bicones
• Light pink Swarovski crystals: 4 mm faceted “light rose” bicones
