Vintage Antiqued Silver Tone Exotic Bird Cabochon and Wood Earring and Necklace Set

 Sorry for the delay of a new post! Today I am sharing a new listing with you.
I welcome feedback about the photography itself. What do you prefer as a consumer? I am always attracted to the creation of a feel or style of a piece. For example, using period objects in the photograph as props. For all new listings I will be going basic black.
Let me know your thoughts.......

This nouveau bohemian trio features antiqued silver tone vintage exotic bird cabochons, impressive vintage filigree beads, vintage refashioned vintage stained wood and unusual chain and "holed" barrel shaped drops.

Each piece features the exotic bird cabochon which measures 5/8" x 7/8" (17x22mm).
The settings are also an aged silver tone achieved by a secret recipe hand patina.

Large vintage filigree beads (3/8"x5/8" or 10x18mm) add visual contrast and interest to each piece.

The earrings offer secure closure through silver tone lever back hooks and scallop detail.

I have yet to find similar hollow holed barrel beads used for the graduated dangles that hang from the vintage stained wood necklace pendant. Each bead measures 3/16"x3/4" or 5x18mm.
Each bead has varying patina and should be recognized as character rather than flaw.

The overall length of the earrings are 2" or 50mm.

The chain length is 22" (280mm) the pendant lays at 11" (140mm).
Pendant size including bead dangles is 4 1/2" (115mm)

I HAVE BEEN JUMPING THROUGH MY OWN A-HOLE, SO TO SPEAK!
FROM 5AM TO 3:30 + I TEACH NEARLY 200 URBAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THE IMPORTANCE OF ART AND LIFE. THE PAST THREE WEEKS HAVE BEEN INSANE AS I JUGGLE THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH MY DO-IT -ALL JEWELRY BUSINESS.
I AM INCREDIBLY HAPPY WITH THE AMOUNT OF INVITES AND ATTENTION I HAVE RECEIVED-INEVITABLY-ALL AT THE SAME TIME! 
MY APOLOGIES TO THOSE WHO DO BROWSE MY ETSY SHOP, RECRUDESCENCE, ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE NOT GIVEN IT THE ATTENTION I SHOULD BE.

New listing, The Face of Time....

The concept of time. I always wonder what time it is? Really. What time is it? My iPhone has the time, the microwave in the kitchen has the time, my alarm clock has the time, my car even tells me what time it is?!?!?!?!

so what time is it really? The time I see isn't, most likely what you see.
Who gets to decide what time it is?
I get obsessed with this because unless i arrive 15 minutes early.. i will most definitely be 15 mins late.
I heard somewhere those of us who are habitually late, think we are more important than everyone else. No-I don't believe this. I have come to believe i just live in a different time zone than everyone else.......

Time does fly when you are having fun. It does not fly during a pap smear.

So lets ask the great oracle shall we?

I created this gal to remind me that time time is relative.

 
When you look into this pendant, the vintage glass dome amplifies and distorts the female resin face on the interior.
Thank you oh great one.
Oh-I am late for that pap smear. ;)

1940's fashion - Keeping Well Dressed

1940's fashion

Anything with a past.....

Well, those of you who frequent my shop, know I strive to use materials from the past. Items long since forgotten in a warehouse somewhere in eastern europe, dug from the earth buried since wwII, washed up on a mediterRanean beach or found in my own lush green backyard. I am inspired by items with age. I daydream about the time period, how the piece survived so long, who might of owned and even cherished it  and if it could speak, what stories might we heAR OF ITS ADVENTURES....

Today i want to introduce you to this romantic damsel. A west German Resin Cameo in high relief. Circa 1940's.

A little more inspiration? German film star Anneliese Uhlig. Va-Va-Voom. I would be more than happy to walk around each day through a diffusing filter!
