I received a surprisingly large box from @artsycandice! Turns out she fulfilled the swap requirements of a Small USPS flat rate box, but then sent it inside a bigger box with more padding for her beautiful ceramics! 
Inside there was so much goodness. Starting with three teeny tiny little plates! They are seriously perfect for a dollhouse or a real live fairy. The biggest is just the size of a quarter!
A Trio of amazing owl pendants! I can’t wait to turn these into jewelry pieces. Each has a hole through the top of the head, with a nice wide hole for stringing through.
Second pic to show the hole placement…
To continue with the jewelry fun, three awesome little pieces: A skull pendant (anyone else thinking about the Goonies ‘Play the Bones’ key pendant???), an anatomical heart pendant, and a moon & star pin.
Next I found an amazing little owl egg shaker! With a face on one side, and just a hint of swirling pattern…
…which continues around the back!
A beautiful owl face! It’s about the size of my palm. This 80’s child is in heaven, with the Jim Henson’s Labyrinth owl vibes of it. I’m not sure if this is going in my skinny kitchen gallery, or into my guest room (aka the Abbeeroad Room), which we walk through constantly going from one end of the house to another… It needs to be seen all the time AND appreciated by visitors!
Finally I found this stunning anatomical heart. I didn’t get a shot of something for scale, but it’s pretty big. Bigger than my hand for certain. I think this one is either going in my studio for inspiration, or in our library, which has some of our favorite collected treasures.
@artsycandice, thank you so much for such an amazing package, and for such an inspiring swap! Every single piece will be treasured and adored.
I love the little pins and pendants, and the skeleton key, because they can be fun additions to other art, and not just used as jewelry. I think it would be neat to see some of them on a mixed media piece of some kind down the road. I will keep my eye out in case you decide to do that with any of them. <3 The large heart was my first inspiration. When you said that you like my hearts with chains, I had to come up with something that would fit in that little box. lol. Thank you for swapping with me. This was a lot of fun.
