This is an example of the work I do with salvaged china.One the things I love about my house is that whenever I dig in the garden, interesting bits of old china, buttons,rose-headed nails and glass pop up. after lying in the sweet West Virginian earth for a couple of centuries.

I glued them together and added silver and a garnet cabochon.
