I got a nice pick-me-up today in the mail....some jewelry I had special ordered from a friend of mine and fellow Etsy seller, BeadyMonkey. I'm so glad I found her shop at Etsy, as I have become such a big fan of her funky, vintage, and quite creative and unique jewelry. Whenever I wear her pieces, I get tons of compliments. I decided to have her create a few custom pieces for me. The first is the Stella bracelet. My mother-in-law pointed me to this website when I adopted Stella,
http://www.2houndsdesign.com:80/ They sell greyhound supplies, amongst those tags that one can wear on a necklace that are engraved with the tattoos of your adopted greyhound. All racers have tattoos in their ears. I thought this was a cool idea, and decided rather than a necklace using the tag, I'd have BeadyMonkey make a bracelet for me and incorporate the tag. Well, she outdid herself, because not only did she incorporate the tag into this fantastic bracelet, she also put in a picture of Stella! Way way cool!! I just love it!
I also asked her if she could make a cameo type pendant using a scan of a beautiful old photograph I have of my French great-grandmother. It's just lovely, I know I will get many great compliments on these pieces.....
If you haven't visited Etsy, please do so, and when you are there, take a look at BeadyMonkey's jewelry designs!
