How do you do Vintage? The beauty in Vintage lies within the actual pieces’ ability to speak with you. Brooches are my favorite pieces to “Remix!” As I received these fascinating pieces Broochaliscious ideas took flight! Fabulous brooch finds placed together, offering total accessorization…just scrumpscious! Jewelry transformed with fantastic necklaces with the thinking “your neck is just too hungry to pass these up”! The brooches long lasting appeal doesn’t stop there…Broochaliscious designs from the Queen highlights Vintage-Inspired Handbags adorned with charming gloves, sparkling brooches, & handmade bib flower necklaces that can double as belts! One-of-a-kind pieces to reflect timeless style & design! Lovely accessory & keepsake!

So when the QuEeN wonders, “How do you do Vintage?” please reflect on the history, gift, and legacy behind such pieces as they reach our hands. The journey is what captivates me and sending these pieces on even further is the real gift! Beauty is truly within the eye of the beholder…so kindly BEHOLD THIS and share the love on your neck!

Dream Again Jewelry – Bold and Beautiful Jewelry

Last Updated on Wednesday, 12 May 2010 09:20 Written by DreamAgainJewelry Tuesday, 11 May 2010 08:38

Making jewelry has always been a passion of mine. I have been making jewelry for 17 years, since I was 20 years old. I happened into my first bead store while on vacation in Santa Cruz, CA., I immediately fell in love. The glass, clay, porcelain, metal, pearl, and shell beads overwhelmed me. I had no idea how to make any jewelry, but I bought some African trade beads, some leather, and some clasps. My first attempts were rather simple, but I was hooked. I am a completely self taught jewelry artist. I read all the books I could get my hands on, and later I searched the internet. I find great pleasure in making jewelry and I hope you find great pleasure in wearing my one of a kind treasures.

I make three different collections of jewelry; the bold and beautiful, vintage inspired, and chainmaille. All my jewelry is made by hand with pliers, wire, chain, beads, and stones. I don’t solder anything, it is all securely wrapped in wire. I sit at the work table and look over all my beads, and there are many, and just let the inspiration strike. I start dreaming up the jewelry and before you know it, I have a beautiful necklace, bracelet, or one of many other beautiful creations. I love to do custom work.
I spend my time making and selling jewelry on Etsy, writing about jewelry matters at my blog.

I just recently started selling on Etsy, but have been making all kinds of things since I was a little girl. My mom taught me to knit, crochet, sew and embroider and I do all that now – and more.

I have welded metal garden art, sewn clothing and bags, glued ornaments, made molds with plaster and replicas with resin – and I am really excited about incorporating as much of what I like to do into the items that I sell.

I use recycled materials from around my home, vintage and used materials from estate and garage sales, and new things that add interest. My main objective is to use recycled materials, but my overall goal is to create something functional and interesting to look at. I consider it a challenge and I love it!
