I had to be up in the Shrewsbury area today to see a very old friend so I did my monthly 'pop into Anthro" thing for some of their usual inspiration.
The panoramas were done on the IPhone using an app called Pano which I LOVE !
The app lets you snap the first image, then the next image begins where you last left off and will link together as many snaps as you take. It lines them up. The first pix used 6 shots, this one used 3. I've tried a few panorama apps for the IPhone...this one is my fav.
This wall (above) was most interesting...all small snippets of copper...and not real copper....like metallic papers of some sort. They also covered books in their windows with it...sorry about the reflection
they've rearranged their store...can you see me in the mirror ???
of course their jewelry is always wonderful.
all I know is I come home with a lot of design ideas when I visit this store. Like my adorable friend Margie says..."Anthropologie...I worship" !
Today I wore one of my favorite necklaces
I made this with the help of my wonderful friend Angela Bannatyne when I was in Florida a few months ago. The long rhinestone necklace is from CHICOS...where else ! Anyway...some lady stopped me today to compliment my necklace...I got very excited !
I also posted a new project on my Yahoo group
It's something I made a while ago but, because of it's simplicity, I thought I'd encourage you to get out those melting pots.
Any metal tin works fine. Glue any type of legs to it (glossy accents works well), place a photocopy in the tin. Melt Clear UTEE. I allowed mine to go a bit amber cause it looks more vintage. Pour UTEE over photocopy. Finish off with other embellishments.
I've given many of these types of tins as house gifts. People love them. They're different and they don't take up a lot of room.

I try to SKYPE with my cutie Jared every night, even tho he only lives an hour+ from me...but we had some real weather issues today and this is what my computer screen looked like on skype tonight....
It's COLLAGEABLE (is there even such a word !)
Poor me...Jared just kept fading in and out.....
he was like a watercolor painting !!!
he could see me perfectly, but all I could see was more of this
well....he knows I love him.....maybe it'll be better tomorrow !!!
Love your necklace and the fab tin, I have to make a confession here, I dont yet own a melting pot, but its at the top of my list now as you can do so much with it. It was my birthday last week and my Mum in law gave me some money so thats what I'm going to spend it on, a melting pot and UTEE...

Doesn't Jared make a beautiful painting! But of course he would with that smile of his! Your necklace is gorgeous Suze, I love it. x
