One thing I love about découpage is you can change the source images to suit your purposes. The stepstools and wrought iron were cute, but they didn't work here. And that's okay. Dainty Yellow is still pretty dainty even without them.

New item: Necklace and hairpin set - Flew the coop
The hairpin is a simple chromed bobby pin blank, to which I glued a vintage 1950s bright yellow celluloid bird cabochon.
Worn together, it looks like your pet canary has escaped its cage and nestled securely in your hair. How fun, and so perfect for spring.

New item: Upcycled napkin rings - Red and white floral
New item: Upcycled napkin rings - Spring green
Since we have no shortage of pretty paper, acrylics, or paper towel tubes, we suspect we'll be making lots of these in the future. The muslin bag is hand-stamped with blue dragonflies for that extra warm weather touch. Fun!

New item: Upcycled napkin rings - Chocolate floral
This one was made with pretty, chocolate-brown Japanese chiyogami paper on two rings, and brown dotted craft paper on the other. We hand-mixed a gorgeous sky blue in acrylics for the insides, and gave each ring a thick coat of textured high gloss acrylic. As a finale, we hand-stamped some dragonflies on a pretty little muslin bag for easy, cute storage.
Adorable and just in time for spring.

Made my first Etsy sale!
Well, that's pretty awesome. A very kindly buyer not only bought my upcycled napkin rings, but custom ordered two more sets!
So exciting!

The finished result is quite pleasing to the eye, as well as practical. We almost didn't want to sell this one. Almost.
