Commission made for a father to give to his 3 year old daughter on his wedding day. It's so tiny - 12cms long with a small extention.
So how did I come by this commision? It was all because of Joanne from Vintage Twee she is one of the loveliest people you can meet. Her work is of the highest standards that I have seen in a long time. Every detail of her work is thought out carefully to show off the vintage paper, lace, designs etc to their best advantage.
Joanne was commisioned to make some vintage items for a couple who are getting married in Stockton on Tees and the gentleman wanted to give his 3 year old daughter something to open on the wedding day and she suggested he speak to me. After a few emails regarding his requirements and me sending him sample pics of my previous work he decided to go with a simple but beautiful bracelet.
You have to really see it so appreciate how tiny and cute it looks. It only measures 12cms from the sterling silver heart clasp to the first ring. I've also added a short extention to this so that it can be made a little bit bigger if needed. It's difficult trying to gauge a size from just the measurements.

An elephant in New York
LOL I've just realised I've not updated any pics from my trip to New York.
Here is a little taster of what one can find without even looking for it. I love elephants and when I saw this sculputure (52nd or 53rd st West) I knew I had to photograph it.
Anyone visiting NY should really walk around the city there is so much to see and do. I really NEED to go back there very sooonnnnn.
