Dramatic Entrance - Handmade Brown Sparkle Knit Scarf
This scarf will make a statement where ever you go with it. It is a one of kind and has the perfect sparkle and pizazz for the diva in you. It was knit with a mix of acrylic, polyester, and nylon yarns. It measures 7" x 46" with 14"'s of fabulous fringe as well. It should be hand washed and laid flat to dry.
This really is one of my favorites. It can be worn like a shawl over your shoulders all day long or wrapped around your neck like a scarf to keep you warm. It is a luscious blend of mohair, silk, and wool from Noro, my favorite Japanese yarn brand. There are shades of brown, rich blues, touches of purple, red and aqua. There are also some lovely glass beads at the ends for an extra touch. It measures 8" x 55" and should be hand washed in cool water and laid flat to dry.
Modern Flapper - Handmade Red and Black Knitted Scarflette (removed dead link)
This neckwarmer combines the best of a short scarf and a long scarflette. It will fit under or over your coat and has a vintage gold and black button which can be inserted anywhere through the knitted fabric for many different looks and functions. You could also wear it buttoned long and use it as a fashion accessory all day long. It was hand knit with a drop stitch pattern. It is primarily black and red with touches of deep purple and orange. It has a very relaxed elegance that reminds me of the flapper age and will get you tons of compliments. It is a soft and fluffy polyester and acrylic blend so it is perfect for those with wool allergies. It measures 5" x 35" and should be hand washed and laid flat to dry.

I made this pretty pendant with circle patterned dichroic glass that sparkles and shifts in shades of green, blue, and purple. Approximately 1/2" x 1-7/16", plus your choice of silver-plated or gold-plated bail, with a smooth top finish. If you'd like a gold-plated bail please say so in the notes to seller during checkout, otherwise I'll attach a silver-plated bail. item #420.
Need a chain or cord for your pendant? I have a large selection available in my shop.
I made this candle holder with translucent blue art glass as a base and a layer of clear glass for depth. I added a fair amount of magic bubble powder between the layers of glass to create the frothy look, then fused the glass in my kiln. After fusing and cooling was complete, the glass was washed before going back into the kiln to be shaped into this unique candle holder. It measures about 2" tall and 2.75" wide, the perfect size to hold a tealight candle.
I made this dish with sunny yellow art glass as a base and a layer of clear glass for depth. I created the smiley face with multicolored glass millefiore bits. It's about 4.5" square with rounded corners and a gentle slope. The dish would be beautiful holding spare change or keys, serving condiments or snacks, or as a candle or soap dish. It's also nice just to look at--it makes me smile every time I walk past! Food and dishwasher safe.
I'm happy to ship this internationally, so if you're outside the U.S. please ask me for the postage to your country.
