All about Vintage in Bohemia

I create these pieces from scraps of old broken jewelry and carefully selected pieces from bead shops (like my pal Melanie's Shop: The Bead Shoppe ) Each piece I make is a one of a kind work of art. I began this project in February of 2010 with the creation this fun little angel brooch.

I had my first official showing of my new project in March of 2010 with the Maker's Market in Oxford MS.
I was pleasantly surprised buy the reaction of browsers, buyers and the other artists. Since that first show I have participated in several more Maker's Market as well as the Oxford Artist's Guild Spring Show, Crosstie Arts and Jazz in Cleveland MS and Main Street Festival in Water Valley, MS. I have a upcoming show with Maker's Market on June 5th and the Art B Que in Atlanta's Avondale Estates Suburb.


Here are a few examples pieces currently available:
