mixed media monday - brooch with lace and pearls

mixed media brooch by Kaija Rantakari - paperiaarre.com

A trinket Monday this week! I enjoy making small mixed media jewelry - it provides a nice balance in between larger collages, which admittedly aren't that large, and satisfies my need to make items that are useful. Although I'm not sure jewelry can be regarded as useful, but it does serve a purpose nonetheless.

I wouldn't mind such a fine pair of shoes, but I would settle for some extra spring in my step this summer.
