Dragonfly Adornments

Tammy makes these unique purses out of books. I make the handles to adorn them. I’m completely in awe of her talent!

Wine Bottle Wind Chime. I cut each bottle, sand and polish it and then embellish them with beautiful beads. The sail is made out of an old bottle I slumped (melted) in the kiln. I think it makes this upcycled piece extra special and unique!

Here’s the updated wind chime. So much better! 😊

I made a new wine (wind) chime but I’m revamping it. Wait until you see the new and improved version. It’ll be much more exciting.

It may be messy but it’s how I roll. I’m making wine bottle wind chimes for the Little Yellow House Mom & Pop-up Bazaar on July 31st!

New wind chime for the Little Yellow House Handmade Mom & Pop-up Bazaar!

Join us at the Little Yellow House Handmade Mom & Pop-up Bazaar on July 31st! There will be so many wonderful handmade gifts to browse and purchase. :)

Save the date!
We have a Pop-up shop on July 31st. More info to come!

We love that this pretty “Wined Chime” is adorning its new home. Cheers!

The reveal! This is not the end result but we thought it would fun to share the fuse.

Mara is trying a new (to her) fusing technique with scraps of glass. It might look like a mess now but she’s crossing her fingers that something beautiful comes of it. Here’s a sneak preview!

HANDMADE UPCYCLED BOOK PURSE

This neutral toned book is an instant classic and was made from an antique copy of a Readers Digest Book that was destined for a landfill.

The custom handmade handle was designed with glass and wood beads. No plastic, only quality materials were used.
