Welcome to Our Featured Member, for October 5-16, 2010
Cyndi - a/k/a Small Footprints

In order to show more of our Featured Member's designs, we
add them on this blog.  The following are some
photographs that Cyndi shared with me.

ThisThis pair of earrings is called "Dream Weaver!"
Not to show my age, but when I saw that name I immediately
thought of a popular song from my younger years!

These earrings are called "Fantasy in Blue"!  I love how
Cyndi, recycles parts from other earrings.  This should teach us all that
we can be more careful with the items we discard.  You never know
what can be made from it by a talented artist or designer.

 oWW
ur These earrings are called "Freezing Rain."

Member
Oh, I love these, they must not have made it to our page!
They are called "Jewel of the Nile"!

These earrings are called "Medevial Beauty".

These earrings are called "Lucky Lassy".  I really like
how Cyndi changes her backgrounds to complement the earrings.

It is that time of the year for the changing of the seasons,
this pair of earrings are called "Maple Leaves."

These earrings are called "Sea Glass."
Love the varied texture of the beads she uses.


Oh, I love this display, but I am a purple nut!
These are called "Mexican Smiles."

And for me, nothing better to end this group of Cyndi's creations
than my favorite color and these earrings "Purple Passion."

Thank you, Cyndi, for the opportunity to share your designs,
creations, and ideas for recyling jewelry parts
to our members.  I appreciate all you do
on our page to help out and I am honored to feature you!

TO ACCESS HER WEBSITES PLEASE GO TO THE MAIN PAGE OF OUR SOCIAL NETWORKING PAGE.
 
 
This is an Owl Pin made from the various pieces of a circuit board!
Very eco-concious creations from before the time it was 'cool' to be 'green.'
(Three Ring Circuits - business name)


Here is another pin, it is a Chicken with a Hat!
I am starting to think I should raid the garage and all the old computer
stuff out there!  These pins are really intersting!


Here is a necklace from her more vintage jewelry selections.


Wonderful pair of earrings entitled "Cairo."


Lovely earrings of Tigerseye and Ivory.


Very pretty necklace emphasizing the color Violet.


Very unique bracelet - Gothic Glam.  Love the colors and
textures.


Another very pretty necklace
from her vintage collection.


Love the color green - so this bracelet is a keeper!


How cool is this?  Love the color combination, and the focal bead.
To me it has a somewhat Parisan theme!
(Yes, I can find something Parisan everywhere I look!)


Wow - this is such an interesting box!  Love the design!
Who knew what you could do with all those computer pieces?


I think I am hooked now on checking out our garage for
all the interesting pieces to the computers we have used and
have died and are wasting away when I could be using them.  What a great pencil holder.

Thank you, Debby, for allowing us to
feature you and your very
lovely and diverse kinds of jewelry designs!
You have definitely shown me how talented you are
with the unique designs from circuit boards.

Please leave comments for Debby after you have
