Heart charm, looks like cherry bloosms, early, with buds in the background
Heart charm, looks like cherry bloosms, early, with buds in the background, and these are light pink to white, not dark pink cherry blossoms. It may be that there is a double row of petals (5 petals typically). (thats the bottom picture showing real cherry blossoms)
Heart charm, dragon, ceramic painting? antique bracelet
Heart charm, dragon, ceramic painting? antique bracelet. This is the 7th charm, a different dragon that the previous heart charm painting. There is likely some significance in the dragons, their use and the difference in poses of the dragons.
Heart charm bracelet, antique, oriental
This is the 6th charm (not in order on as on the bracelet, but just a number from the pictures taken with my phone). Clearly the male is of high ranking (the “hat”), while the female is young a pure looking (as opposed to another heart where both male and female are wearing “hats” and the female looks a little fuller-bodied, likely older, and matronly.
The hand that is raised may be an indication of a betrothal.
Heart charms, antique bracelet, dragon painting
Heart charms (this one, is one of 8 hearts) in an antique bracelet, dragon painting, i think, on porcelain?
Hearts from a charm bracelet, given to me 70 years ago, age and origin unknown.
Heart charms, antique, either Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian?
Images from a bracelet, all hand painted (i think) perhaps porcelain, Heart 4.
Antique heart bracelet, maybe a queen and king?

Old bracelet, heart 2, kite
Old bracelet, heart 2, kite, see previous post for the story behind this tiny painted “ceramic?” artwork. At least 70 years old, add to that the years before I received it from my aunt. Possibly a ceramic painting, possibly NOT silver, but maybe, repaired at some point (more than 70 years ago), possible Chinese or Japanese. Any help is appreciated, find my email at PDQpatterns(dot)com
Bracelet heart painting, kite.
Very old bracelet, hearts painted
This image is from a very old bracelet, hearts painted apparently as ceramic, pretty much cracked now. I have had the bracelet for about 70 years. It was given to me by an aunt who was attending UCLA, and there was a member of the Hawaiian family? as the story was told to me, that was maybe a princess. The name given to me I cannot exactly remember, but something like Leihani. I have looked at some data online and the time frame does not seem to fit, but i have no doubt that my aunt had some information about the origin of the bracelet, as it was linked to a Hawaiian royal family.
Here is one such “heart” from 8 hearts. This looked Chinese to me, but a friend said that maybe it was closer to Japanese and NOT cloisonne, perhaps a painting.
Two images below are the original image (bottom) and top, vectorized, just for a different look. I would welcome any comments, though i have comments turned off on this wordpress site, i think you will find my email somewhere else, like PDQpatterns(dot)com.
The actual heart is a little less than 3/4 of an inch from point to top
A few eggs, spring 2025 – custom
These eggs are a little different than others I have made, in that they have embedded in them tiny pieces of fabric from the stash of a mother of a friend of mine who found a bag of 9 quilt tops that she had made in her lifetime but that were not finished. There were just a few pieces of scraps and so i tried to give a feeling of a couple of the fabrics in the design of these eggs, but also included some threads from each fabric kind of as a “keepsake”. For me, life is about having fun making remembrances, even as much as we would like to be remembered, memories are pretty short.
See the fabrics used in these decorated eggs on the left.
I made a polymer clay cane for the light fabric, not entirely successfully, and the other fabrics i used a backing of single color and added the elements and then flattened them into the flat backing of polymer clay. Some of the eggs have texture, some dont.
Because the quilt tops made by this mom were all “granny’s flower garden hexagon quilts” i did use that hexagon style on a couple of the eggs.
