Star of the East - Special white earrings

This artist lives in Turkey and has collected sea urchins during her many walks on the beaches there. She sure makes beautiful use of them!


Irregular Expressions - Saga ~ freeform crochet necklace

A family shop in Istanbul with the beautiful creations made by the mother and the daughter and son helping her with the shop details.
Be sure to click on the image to see the close up detail..truly a work of art.



V Silcox Designs- Spike Coffee Mug

Lively hand painted glass pieces full of movement and light~ I had a hard time choosing which one of the wonderful works of art to highlight .


Dinglewear - Wrist Cuff

Just one of the many cuffs in this artisans Etsy shop. Many of her cuffs are constructed of leather, but this one is fun and sweet and comfy looking, don't you think?
