Palm Tree Vintage Jewelry Framed Tree
I had such a good time designing this and spent several days combining the colors and finding the right pieces to make this a attractive piece for you.
The frame measures 15 X 12 I painted this wooden frame Green, used blue felt for the sky and a sand color for the beach, I braided sand color tiny Rick rack as the horizon line.
I embellished the bottom right hand corner with a combination of 4 broken sea shell earrings and 1 gold tone Dolphin.
On the left hand side in the bottom corner I added a large gold tone shell with a little Lobster hiding under the she.., On top of the shell I have pencil colored a Mermaid and added dimension under her to give depth.
