chick chasin' gnome
the blooming inspiration above
& beads below
you can't really tell from the photos, but these two big focals are both hollow.
lots of cased yellow, pea green, pale grass green and transparent tangerine.
wee wiggly sprouts, a pod and blossom
all this set needs is one huge transparent hollow orange focal to make it complete.
and this! it's what makes all that junking fun.
a very silly, old red enamel cup decorated with a gnome chasing a little chicken.
i found it yesterday morning at an estate sale. what a perfect treasure, i adore it.
that's where i have been all week when i should have been torching and such - i was riding around in the van buying dead people's stuff. it's the beginning of the season and the sales are breaking out.
imagine that the chick is the antiques and i am the gnome running after them. it was an incredible week for vintage clothes. if you're a record archive shopper it's time to hit my clothing racks hard - there are lots of chic summer frocks and wild shirts galore. maybe tomorrow, if you're good, i will show you the hat crocheted with harvest gold yarn and utica club beer cans.
