<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 3954508, member: 36"]That's a nice bit of beadwork.

Getting there required driving through rush hour traffic and Construction, but the sale called and off I went. Got there later than I wanted to, but fortunately I was interested in costume jewelry and no one else was.

A clockwork design birdie not made of real clock parts. The chain and the birdie were tangled up in a junque lot. Two pair rhinestone shoe clips. Dress clips. Peacock eye beads. A 2011 class ring came long for the ride; it's going back to the local high school. (it's costume anyway) There are also a pile of pins and things I didn't get pictures of.
