Found jewelry treasures are quality pieces-brushed metal Angel with filigree wings~top adorned with pieces of Chico's necklace~sterling bracelet of dangling crystal adds Angel sparkles.

Originally planned for this one to showcase sparkling snowflakes, but a stop at the thrift shop the supports intellectual and developmental disabilities offered this perfect angel and I created this tapestry, unknowingly to all that my first grandchild was growing. What a beautiful tribute piece to create!
This tapestry was created from an oops that happened years before when a multitude of fibers became a tangled mess I thought would have to be thrown away. I spent hours trying to untangle, sat in tears thinking my only solution was to destroy them. Then the thought came, why not cut the strands and make one continuous skien from all those pieces.
This tapestry contains vintage linen, chenille, furs, ladder, cottons and eyelash yarns.

These creative pieces are hand woven on an old fashion metal loom. Yarns are a variety of material, mostly unique one of a kind. Many will have yarns of cotton, wool, linen, mohair, faux furs, string yarns, flag yarn, ladder, ribbon, silks, rayon, polyester, velvet, chenille and anything unusual. Everything goes through a rigorous cleaning, winding into a ball, color sorted and showcase unusual yarns to become the centerpiece of a new tapestry. Jewelry pieces are found treasures that often are the inspiration for the tapestry. You may find a bracelet, pieces of jewelry taken apart and reworked, pin or a whimsical accent all of high grade vintage jewelry. Items are cleaned with alcohol and refurbished to sparkle and enliven these works of art. Many will often have swarvski crystals added into these works of art. Hanger is A large metal link necklace (recommend using a decorative nail to hang as shown - these are not included) that finishes the artwork for unique display.
My recently found vintage metal loom prompted exploration into boxes of scrap yarns, fibers & vintage jewelry that I have collected for a decade. In 2021, mini fiber art tapestry’s were born from these found treasures. Each piece of artwork takes hours searching for treasured fibers to combine textures, colors and design to infuse nostalgic harmony with the vintage jewelry accents. One of a kind limited works of art will be produced until the box of found treasures are gone.
