Handmade Trove: Silver Leaf Ornament by Beadmask

Leather Leaf Ornament Today's surprising snow turned the trees whiter than they've been all year! As beautiful as the winter wonderland looks outside my window, I am ready for sunshine to melt a passage to spring. Sure, my burning bush won't look as cool without its frozen leaves I shared yesterday. But I have a gorgeous set of white and silver leaf ornaments by Andrea of Beadmask that won't ever lose its luster of winter magic, even on the hottest summer day.

Each hand-carved leather leaf was painted in white or silver, then sealed with a protective top coat and dusted with silver glitter. They hang from organdy ribbon ties, looped through a wire-wrapped swirl. Andrea even added vintage Swarovski crystals to the silver leaves for a super sparkly touch!

She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Eugenie Wu for submitting the randomly-chosen 799th entry. Rica Jewels will email you within 24 hours with instructions on how to claim your prize. The winds of March are making me wonder why I haven't learned to properly braid my hair yet. Not only would my tresses get less tangled, but there are so many pretty patterns available online now. The only braid style I ever mastered was how to make friendship bracelets back in the 1980s. Daniela of Rica Jewels offers a much more intricate braided bracelet called the Kusma Bracelet. The mixed metal bracelet is made with silver, bronze and copper. The beautiful bracelet is 7" long and 0.4" width and can be bent gently on the edges to better fit the winner's wrist. Yes, you read that right.
