Antique Map pendant
Most of these necklaces and earrings were completed last week except for the chains. I stuck with a theme of long pendant and earrings until the last one, which I did sideways - and I like it. I wore one set on Friday and got a few comments at work - but when I stopped at a department store all the sales people commented on the pendant and earrings.
This pattern is from a quilt that I made.
Art Deco image
Black and White paper, backed with silver paint. Two sets of earrings one with a larger pattern and one with the smaller pattern.
Random image that I had in a pile of papers - but I like the black and white.
No earrings with this one - it's a triple layer collage. 
I've also been playing with bowls this weekend, as I am still stuck at home with a cough. (DH went out bike riding today and I stayed home - that'll tell you that I really don't feel good!)
Anyway - paper mache musical bowl, painted with pinks - and of course gold inside. I made this cord on the top from twirled tissue paper, fancy ribbon, and gold thread. This one is a big size - about 10 inches across the top and about 6 inches high. I think it's too pink in this picture and has more depth in real life.
The next three are tiny bowls/cylinders made from the leftover paper I had from the bowls I was working on. They are all three about 4 inches high and 2 inches across. The first one is painted and stained and wiped, and restained - in person it looks antique - like something you'd find at an archaeology dig.
This one is tissue paper and musical paper and it glows if you put a tea light in it. Plus it's the perfect size for a tealight.
This one is tealight size also - and it really glows when lit from inside. Pretty one I think.
I have three more downstairs waiting for final touches. A friend nearby is hoping to have a yard sale in May and she asked if I would sell some artwork. YES - I nearly yelled. Everything is also going on Etsy, and then if I'm still invited - there is the YART in October.
ETSY 20% off coupon is still ongoing - code word is SPRING!!!

I am blown away by your work. One thing more beautiful than the other. I love the art deco set. You really have a great eye.
The bowls are fabulous. I think I like the archeological-like one the best, and the tea lite bowls are so precious.
You are really doing amazing work, Mim!
Those are all turning out so wonderful. I've tried hymn book pages (just made a copy, didn't tear the book apart). They look pretty nice. I need to get better glue - what glue are you using? Does it feel like the bails are on good? My bail on the pendant came off, but the earrings stayed on well.
oh my gosh mim, what can't you do? i think you had better make alot more, for the shop, the yard sale and yart!
i love them all!
p.s. creamy vs chunky...old habits, you know, small children...hee hee

Your ick has been good for one thing Mim, you have been creating some beautiful jewlery and bowls. I hope you get to feeling better.
Geez, Mim! I turn my back on you for just a minute and here you are with tons of new work!!
I love the glass jewelry. Looks like kiln-fired glass. And, of course your bowls are fantastic!
The paper clay family is so you! You are just a dervish in the arts.
these are all fantastic, but that tealight cylinder that glows from the inside is so special........and the black and white pendant/earrings set --- that's paper?!!?
where do you get all these amazing ideas?? your creativity is prodigious!!
