Yuletime!

I hope everyone had a splendid Yule. My mom sent me this amazing tree, a tall growth of spiraling black metal, very chic! And as this is the first year I've lived somewhere I actually had room for such a thing, she sent me boxes and boxes of splendid trinkets to suspend from it.



I've also been busy with more boxes. One a creamy collage of wax and paper and little metal treasures.



Another one that is a spunky use of some very strange shell parts that have been teasing me to use them in something for years.





And another encapsulating a grape vine beetle, Pelidnota Punctata.




I hope to have them up on Etsy sometime Monday.

It's cold out there!

Brrrr! We've been waking up lately to a lovely coating of shimmering frost everywhere.



I finally finished a few of my boxes and got them put up on Etsy. They look very cute, and in one day have gotten more hits then any of my ornaments have in the weeks that they have been up.




I've gone through so much glass trying to learn how to cut, it's insane. I have a huge pile of shards, and just one remaining piece that is about 5" by 5". I need to go get more somewhere.
