All of these items are made from Vintage sterling silver plated flatware. I find them in various places like thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets. I pound them, create with them and then polish them. Some of the charms are left 'as is' because I like some of the natural patina that occurs.

The beads that are used are high quality glass seed beads. I string them all by hand on wire as well as tiger tale and secure all ends appropriately.

The ribbons that are used are also a high quality satin or cotton in the most eye catching on trend colors.
