Lost

 Lost

     This is similar to the bracelet I lost in the Caribbean.  There was a strong undertow that grabbed me as I was getting towards the shore.  The undertow took my bracelet, pulled down my swim bottoms and took off one of my flippers.  I was able to quickly grab my flipper but the bracelet was gone.

     I was running low on my stretchy bracelets.  I give them away when I meet some interesting or someone who was helpful.

Sewing

        Here are the results under the sewing category.

We used to make a smaller version of this for jewelry.

Misc

 Misc

      The results from the miscellaneous category.

I didn't expect the result from this.  This was competing against all glass work, including stained glass.  This one had gotten all four of the ribbons.  Very pleased.

This one was under recycled.  I didn't expect much from it but threw it into the fair anyway.

Love the way this jewelry box came out.  Painting it and adding a few diamonds to it made it really "pop."

This one was under dolls.

Fair

 Fair

      This is the jewelry category.  Our fair lumps all types of jewelry into one.  All mediums of necklaces are judge against each other.  Sometimes this is hard when someone makes a spectacular necklace from beadwork or metal working.

Tin

 Tin

       One of my diamond painting pens came in a neat little tin.  It needed a little dressing up with some etching.

Finished

 Finished

     I put the finishing touches on it.  For the most part, I'm happy with it.  I have one gear, on the left that doesn't work properly.  When the lid is opened, the top drawers move out to the side.  The left drawer doesn't open.  I did get the bottom draw to close.  This pictures don't do it justice.  The jewelry box is gorgeous.  It reminds me of something from the 50's.

Of course, it needed a little glow to it.

Almost

     Almost done.
