PHOENIX FLOWER necklace of Recycled Paper and Staple with beads




PHOENIX FLOWER necklace is of recycled paper and staple with beads.
I used a brass or copper heavy-duty staple I took out of a box, bent it with a cool little tool I have, mounted it with beads (the green one is made of paper), and topped it with a vintage flower button. It is accented with wooden and vintage plastic beads. All rough edges are safely and tightly turned in for happy wearing!It is on a silver box chain, 20 inches long.
It is shipped Free of Charge via First class in the US and for a small fee elsewhere via Priority Mail with a tracking number provided. "Phoenix Flower" rises from the ashes of a landfill and flies safely to you in a pretty aqua giftbox :) .

Red Orange Orb recycled marble choker with adjustable Cord

Dusky Red Orange Orb reycled marble choker has an adjustable leather neutral or khaki colored cord and will coordinate or accent any outfit.

The knots slide to make the necklace larger or smaller. Pendant is accented with a salvaged vintage crystal clear bead and is wired securely.

Crowning it all and loosely orbiting the sunny, glowing red-orange glass is a pretty coin of iridescent seashell that further serves as a reminder that every salvaged or repurposed item is one less thing that is discarded into our oceans.
This arrives giftboxed, shipped via Priority Mail with a tracking number.

Daisy Chain Headband or Fabric Necklace with Peace Sign button

Daisy Chain Head band can also be a fabric necklace or even a pretty Flower belt for a medium to small person. With it's little pearly Peace Sign button, it conveys a serene message while keeping you in sweet style.

It is made from a vintage daisy trim affixed to an ethereal sheer white ribbon and is adorned with a vintage pearl button that I added a bit of decoupage to.

It measures 34 inches or 86.36 centimeters from one end of the ribbon to the other. The peace sign is glazed in iridescent pixie dust and tops a 5 inch dangle of pretty flowers.

Being that this is totally adjustable, this could also be used as a fabric necklace, a belt, a hatband, armband, or wrapped to form a cuff bracelet.

The ribbon makes it sturdy enough to be tied snugly without damage to your "Daisy Chain".

It comes prettily presented in a silver Ravena Relics gift box. :)
