This week's Oldies but Goodies Theme Challenge is AROUND THE GARDEN. That can be anything you find in a garden, not just flowers! Go through your stash and post a picture in this thread that pertains to the theme. It can be something you made yesterday or something you made five years ago. We encourage you to post as many items as you want. Can't make it much simpler.
We hope to see a lot of creative pics of your AROUND THE GARDEN jewelry.
We'd love to have more members participate in this easy, fun challenge. Won't you join us?
The Oldies but Goodies Challenges will last two weeks, so you have enough time to share your items! To make it easier, the end date is in the subject now.

We planted a ginkgo tree in our back yard twenty years ago or so. these trees are very slow growing and are the oldest known living trees on the planet. The ginkgo leaf was also a very popular design element in turn of the century arts and crafts jewelry, pottery etc. This group of leaves are shaped from an actual leaf from our own tree. This grouping includes silver, bronze, and copper, in both earring size and pendent size. They are a WIP. Some to be enameled, some patina'd. Brad

What a great start from all of you! Michelle, such a beautiful variety, hard to pick a favorite! Carina, I can't resist some sparkle, the first one is my favorite Brad, ginkgo leaves have such a unique shape and beautiful texture. I'm looking forward to seeing this finished!

Thank you Michelle. Oh so many goodies, Cat. So hard to pick a favorite. I think the apple basket and the hedgehog are my top pick.

All these garden pieces are beautiful and versatile.
Michelle, your top necklace is stunning! I love all the colors together. Carina, your sparkly earrings are lovely but the minimalist flower would suit me fine~! Brad, I've always loved your Ginko leaves. Very special. Cat, I wouldn't know which one to choose. They are all so beautiful. Perhaps the bee necklace?
