Hot Heart, Cold Heart
I had friends over at home the night after New Year's and we watched The Holiday, again. I love this film, to me it shows that if you want good things to start happening to you, you have to start loving yourself first. So I dug up some salvaged hearts that I had in my stash, and some unwanted broken chain, and made those two pieces that you see here.

Something New for the New Year
My grandma says we should always buy something new for the new year, even a small thing. So I made these lovely pieces that combine gold and silver, basically raw brass and pewter, along with coral and peridot.
I wouldn't tell my grandma this, but only the chain in those is new... The rest of the components come from old and broken jewelry. But hey! If you get one of those necklaces, you get old and new in one! Cool!

Glamour Earrings for the Holiday Season
I found a few vintage chandelier octagon prisms and grabbed them! This is the first pair of earrings I made, and I was listening to Loreena McKennitt's winter garden while I was making them, so it seemed only natural to include the cd cover in my photos...
They have an incredible sparkle, which was very hard to capture with my camera, but hopefully those pomegranates on the cover will make them more visible to you. Here they are:
And here is the song. Enjoy!
Oh, and I'm also glad that the weather today is different, we had 9 degrees Centigrade in the morning when I woke up. Cool!

May Day Flowers: Red Poppies
Tomorrow is May Day, or International Workers' Day. Instead of wreaths, I have decided to present red poppies, knowing that red poppies signify both sleep or death, but also the promise of resurrection after death. They are, after all, a very common wild flower, so fragile yet with such impressive qualities.
Clockwise, from left to right, the beautiful creations are:
1. Felted poppy flower brooch Red poppy by JaneBoFelt
2. Little Poppy - Earring Studs by annarubyking
3. Poppy head band for kids or moms by sabahnur
4. Flanders - Red Poppy and Black Beaded Necklace in Brass by Chameleonite
How are you planning to celebrate May Day? Leave a comment and let me know.
