To check out my online jewelry store: http://www.artfire.com/users/wingsofflutter I am Michelle Shufelt, owner of Wingsofflutter Studio on Artfire.
I live in Hutchinson, Minnesota which has been home to me my entire life. I grew up on a dairy farm and now live just a couple of miles from there. I have enjoyed creating with my hands since I was a young girl and I love making beautiful things. Another one of my loves is vintage. On the weekends you will find my husband and I rummaging through antique stores, second hand shops, or at an auction
"It's 5 O'clock somewhere" statement necklace. This necklace features the insides of an antique pocket watch. No need to worry should it flip over while wearing it because the back has bling that resembles the rubies that are part of the mechanism of the old watches.
Another new necklace which features an antique glass drawer k**b. Cute for Christmas!
I'm back and ready to start creating! Check out this versatile necklace!

I found 4 of the sweetest little salt and pepper shakers that are pewter at an antique store this weekend. I can't wait to make some shabby chic necklaces with them. :)

I made the green tree pin into a bracelet. The middle photo shows how you slip it onto your wrist, tighten it, and clasp it to the right size.

Look at this cool antique cabinet that I nabbed off a facebook garage sale site! Isn't this just neat? Thinking I will use it as a display piece at jewelry shows.
After talking to several people today I found out that many of you are not seeing any of my wingsofflutter posts in your feed. So I am going to tag a few of you in the post and let you know that I am doing a drawing early next week for a free piece of jewelry that I am making this weekend. Please see the post above this one and do what it says to be entered into the drawing. Thanks! Well that is weird...I can't even tag anyone in my comments. :(
I'm going to find a little "time" this weekend to make these antique watches into a couple of shabby chic necklaces! I might even keep one of them for myself :)

I had found these earrings last year during one of my many trips to the antique stores. I've looked at them many times throughout the year wondering what I should turn them into. Last night I decided it was time to make ME something special so today I made one of them into a ring. What do you think?! I do have the matching earring left if anyone wants a ring made for them in their size! Only $14.95 :)
