Thanks for looking!! Any constructive criticism is more than welcome 

I'm glad that you like your package, Lunanne! and great photos, too! since you asked, the backing to the earring frame is a few layers of tulle material from Fabricland


I recieved last week from TAOJ, a wikked awesome package that was dead on stuff that I LOVE!

Pillow, featuring a carousel dog ebroidered, croched back and patchwork... I had wisted a similar pillow, and the dog motif is from a painting that I adore





A pretty zippered pouch with a bird silouette... so pretty!


and a cute magnet... I love this painting



Thanks again TAOJ!

i made this bracelet and earrings for the Across the Universe movie swap that I participated in last month... It was especially sad to see the bracelet go, but I was happy that my partner enjoyed it!

Here are the different panels of the bracelet:


I started off with a stretch bracelet made of wooden double-drilled beads (from Michaels), and painted each panel gold. I modge-podged photos from the movie (printed from my computer) on each panel and triple-thick glossed them (I think like 4 layers? I went gloss-crazy!) and also added a little trinket or sticker to each panel

From top to bottom,
-Lucy and Jude all psychedellic and underwater, with a flower sequin
-JoJo rockin out whil his guitar gently weeps, with a star button
-Jude walking near the water.. I added some seagulls and the lighthouse
-Lucy and Jude embracing, with a metal heard brad
-Sadie singing, I added some swarovski rhinstones
-Prudence and ome flower stickers
-Jude and Strawberry fields forever (with a teeny tiny poly-clay strawberry that I made!)

and here is a photo of the bracelet, jsut so you can see the shape:


My partner also got these earrings, which were inspired by "Happiness is a Warm Gun" (and I may have posted these in this forum before... sorry if this is your second time seeing them!)

-Fuzzy heart beads, metal gun charms and swarovski bicone crystals

I think I may re-make the bracelet for myself

Hope you enjoy the pics!
