Moon*&*Stars Studio
The Onesies are hand stencilled first and then hand painted with my original designs...
More needlework too...
Two more knitted hats for children...The multi colored one for babies and the red hat for a bigger child.
The wool scarf was crocheted with some yarn i bought from The Paper Sparrow. Beautiful muted color.... Next project? More sweater practice, some seasonal hats for children, and some hand knit teddy bears!
I've been super busy getting some more jewelry and onesies ready for my daughter's shop, The Paper Sparrow. The first onesie i made was my own design of a bumblebee, and here are the next two. I draw all my own designs and then stencil the main parts on the onesie, and embellish with paint pens. This is so much fun. I don't take enough time to paint, so this gets my crafting and painting urges out all at once!
I finished another mala and now need to give my fingers time to rest, working so intensely with the wire. This one is made of clear quartz crystal beads and rudruksha beads. The center bead is a clear quartz crystal nugget.
This is a little baby's rosary i made of small moonstone beads. I thought it would be nice as a birth or christening gift... This one is just a prototype, but i like the way it turned out and will go ahead and make some more...
The rosary on the left is made on flexible wire. I also make rosaries (on the right) using the hand made chain too. The rosary on the left is made with chrysocholla and agate. The one on the right is made of turquoise. 
And because we got a lot of compliments on the aquamarine mala, i made this strand of aquamarine beads with matching earrings to be worn as jewelry. Now it is time to put the paint brushes down and put the metal smith tools away and clean my house!
