Trying new things - decoupage, etc.

It takes a lot of effort to run a jewelry shop on a gazillion different venues, and sometimes it's just nice to try something new. Something got me inspired to try decoupage and other different styles of jewelry. I think I get bored easily. One of the nice things about trying something new that you aren't even convinced will work is that you get majorly involved in the process and forget about everything else. Here is my first successful decoupage work: a pendant and matching earrings. The decoupage is only part of the pieces, there was still plenty of beading to do!

I call these pieces, Psychedelic Swamp!
