Yay!
It's Monday, the first day of June and I am back blogging! How excited I am to see you again!
And today I wanted to show you a tiny pin that I made for myself a couple of weeks ago. Here is my tiny blue birdie :)
These are the materials that I used: polymer clay (bird and flowers), vintage crystals (bird eye and center of the flowers), metal findings (branches) and one red glass bead for the hanging fruit.
I always had this idea of combining different materials in a piece like this and I am so happy that I made it happen :)
I painted the polymer clay on the back of the pin with gold enamel to make it look like metal. This little pin looks so cute in person!
Tomorrow I will show you another little birdie pin that I made. My pin collection is growing so much! 80% of my pieces are vintage found on Etsy and the flea market. One day I need to photograph all of them so I can share my little treasures with you.
Now have a great Monday my friend! It is hard to believe that it is June already!
Love!
Elsita :)
It's truly lovely, as all your things are, Elsa! Happy June!

So happy your back. Joepie. I'll almost forgot it was today because of the holiday weekend we have. The sun was shining all day and we were out and about. But now I am totally ready to read about your new endeavours. Lots of luck tackling the problems for Diego. Two solo-shows, you are working hard girl. Love the pin.
See you tomorrow. That sounds so good too me!!!

Amazingly wonderful!
I've been thinking to start doing something with polymer clay and seeing what you're doing brings so much inspiration!

This is so amazing. It reminds me so much of that necklace of yours that I adore. One day you will need to teach me how to make jewelry.
