One of my earliest jewelry “spoon” projects was never quite completed.. . I like to think it was just waiting to become something more – I came across this piece when looking for something to finish off this journal. I just added a couple more holes then sewed it onto the elastic . (Because the spoon was Sterling Silver, not plate, I was able to solder the dragon fly and wire to it. ) Now to finish the cording.
So….I had a second journal that also needed “something” on its closure, so added this etched brass button-loved the way it turned out ♥ This journal was made during a one year course I am taking with the fabulous Effie Wild, who is an amazing and gifted Canadian journal artist and on-line teacher.

It’s amazing how these metal treasures seem to expand into all areas of my life, love when that happens!
