How to Weigh Paper Mache Bust Displays

Image
Paper Mache Displays work better when they are weighted down!   Let me show you how. I've never liked the velvet displays as they are hard to pack and show up lint, especially when photographing jewelry on them.  During my search for something better, I came across these macrame bust displays which are a heck of a lot better to pack for shows.  The nestle into each other tightly vs. being so bulky.  The only drawback was that they were light and could easily topple over.  My dear husband (DH) came up with a way to weight them down and I've been using them for over a year now and they work perfectly (for me anyway). Here's a quick video on weighing them down.

Enameled Calla Lily Earrings

Image
It's funny how you can start in one direction and end up in a totally different one. I sketched out a design and cut it out of sheet metal to make a pair of earrings.   As I was playing with the metal, it wanted to go in it's own direction. I added enamel and WOW - the color possibilities are amazing. Combined with sterling silver, it's a beautiful garden dangling from your earlobes.   I think they are just stunning. $75.00 each pair Orange - SOLD
