    How beautiful! The bracelets are really cool! :) I tried my hand at mosaic once but it's just too messy with kids around.

    It's beautiful! In fact, I recognized a china pattern that I once had in one of the rings.

    How creative!

    Those are really beautiful. It's amazing they come from smashed plates. You can tell she takes the time to carefully select the images.
