Caged Hollywood Beauty

The talented Molly Jacobs of Fleur De Bee  both designed and assisted in the production of a 2012 Emmy VIP Awards party.  In this role, she seeks out unique finds and talented artists to sponsor goody bags for the event. 

She also has hosted numerous give aways to share her finds and sponsors with all of us!

Rochelle Gaukel of What Lola Wants Lola Gets is one such artist whose jewels was showcased in this Hollywood event.  If you get the chance, you must stop by her blog to see her incredible work!

When I saw Rochelle's gorgeous birdcage and nest necklace on Molly's blog, I quickly tossed my name in the hat, fingers crossed.

I am beyond excited to say I was selected as one of the winners for her stunning jewelry!!

Her work is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

Beautiful details - I adore the sparrow charms and freshwater pearls.

The detail on the chain is amazing too - twisted, antiqued brass beads.

Check out her soldering work on the birdcage pendant - incredible!

Thank you Molly and Rochelle!!

I am completely smitten with this beauty and can't wait to wear it!!

Molly regularly hosts giveaways for various events and shares her beautiful art on her blog, Fleur De Bee.

Please stop by to say "Hi" and tell her I sent you!!

Drop Dead Diva props

When you least expect it, interesting opportunities pop up.

Such as it was one afternoon - a phone call from a friend, something like this . . .

"I need some very simple handmade cards for a movie prop. Can you make me some samples tonight?" (tonight?)

There was no pause.

YES, YES! Why of course, YES!

Then the guerilla crafting session began - they had to be all different and I was not sure which ones would make the cut.

I am so excited to share that these are the cards that will be included in a hospital scene for a teenage girl (Season 4/ Episode 11) for the Lifetime series, Drop Dead Diva!

I apologize for the poor camera pics.  I was using the camera on my phone at night and texting them as they were produced.

I am starting to get an idea about how the filming industry ebbs and flows. (like a rollercoaster?)

Again, another phone call.

Friend:  "Can you hem some curtain panels for a scene?"

Me: "Sure, what do you need?"

Friend: "45 panels by this time tomorrow"

Oh yes, that feeling in the pit of your stomach.  (Can I do this?)

I mustered all of my faith and said YES.

The much anticipated show Craft Wars would have to wait.  (Alex gave me the play-by-play during the commericals).  I was in the midst of war myself - guerilla crafting, on a deadline.

24 hours later I am proud to say I did it. (I still can't believe I sewed all of those panels - holy cow!)

In the season finale of Drop Dead Diva there will be a wedding scene with lots of flowing panels.  And, somewhere out there, will be a girl with a bubbly heart full of pride.

Thank you for stopping by sweet sugahs!
