Sliver Sunday #2

When I signed up for this I thought:

"No problem, I love silver, it is everywhere in my home"

and

"How hard can it be, take a few shots, blog about it and be done, right?"

Wrong... I find myself wondering all week about what to photograph and how to post about it.

Well for this week, I went small

I found silver but it isn't all silver

the point is that there is silver on it so it has to count, right?

I have learned that too much on one thing isn't always good. 

Sometimes something (especially when we create from art to food) just a dash of something is all our work needs. 

Here is a snow girl, created by the ever so talented Colleen Moody. 

Her splashes of silver embellish her grace and beauty 

... they are the icing on the cake.

There isn't too much, but just enough to bring out her special charm. 

A vintage Christmas ornament the size of a peanut, and a vintage brooch with certain history behind it are all the bits of silver she used.  (the stories that brooch must have to tell while riding on the lapel of someone's coat or sweater all those years ago, how fun!)

And now the complete work, isn't she lovely with her fur trimmed collar and velvet bodice?

so sweet

AND for you straight silver lovers, my vintage mercury glass cup on my desk. 

I use it to hold vintage velvet leaves, paintbrushes and bits of sparkle for my work.

Finally, I wanted to link to a blog who is also doing Silver Sunday but even better, she is doing a giveaway... 

She has a really cool idea with a tutorial and you can WIN!  Good Luck!

Happy Sunday, may your week sparkle!
