Ornaments for Cat Lovers!
Oval Ornament
Both sides of this ornament are adorned with this original Weird Woolly Design. A fun little saying goes along with this sweet cat design; "A little Cat-i-tude goes a long way". (Any cat lover knows all about that!). A strand of gold thread makes it easy to display this fantastic keepsake. Height: 3.32 inches
Width: 2.37 inches
Weight: 1.5 ounces

It's Fuzzy, it's PUFFY....it's Jewelry!
A friend suggested that my painted and embroidered art work might translate well to pendant jewelry- which seems to be all the rage these days on Etsy. I thought I'd give it a try eventhough I had some misgivings about getting into jewelry-making (There's soooo much of it out there).
These 2 necklaces are what I came up with. I thougth they came out pretty good. What do you think??
Crewel embroidered spots on teal corduroy, mounted in a round pendant
Paint on canvas with hand embroidered details, in an oval pendant
