This is the charm I made for Pat's necklace. She wants "lost & found" items on her necklace. She had made the remark to look in the bottom of our jewelry boxes. Well, I did and I found this tatted butterfly that I bought in Belgium in 1987 while on a trip with my daughter Sharla and our friend Gerda from Rotterdam. The poor little butterfly was so discolored and dirty that I decided to paint it with white picket fence paint by Distress Paints from Ranger. When it dried, it was so beautifully crackled and I am so sad it does not show up in this photo. I attach a metal button to a metal tag and attached the butterfly over the button. Then I added two tiny pearls to each side of the butterfly at the top of the wings. I attached gold thread from the back and added two beads with gold metal tails hanging down that had been on a bracelet of mine. This charm truly is made from "lost and found" items. ") I hope Pat enjoys its.
