A New Life to an Old Wine Bottle!

 Purple glass grapes and hand-painted leaves and vines make this a lamp that can be used as an accent piece or used as a night light. The first photo is with the 35-string white lights inside unplugged and a ceiling light on. The second photo is with the mini-lights plugged in.  The wire-wrapped neck of the bottle holds a cork and a metal tag (an old spoon, of course) that says "VINTAGE."

"Little Bit Western" Pendants, Owl Nest Spoon, and large Bird Nest Spoon

Those gals who are a "Little Bit Country" should really like these pendants I made this weekend. They feature metal charms of boots, saddles, hats, horseshoes, and even a horse. They are embedded in a layer of resin that makes them really stand out! It is hard to get a good detailed photo because the camera flash really brings out the shiny surface.

I also finished an owl in a nest, featuring a hand carved owl and a wire sculpture tree with one lone glass leaf still clinging to the branch, along with the nest and egg. 

 The large bird on a nest spoon is easily 9" tall and is very striking. Remember, a bird's nest in your Christmas tree will bring you luck all the next year!
