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 treat these fragments as the treasures that they are. Occasionally I make them into jewelry. This is my current project--a pendant made from two different pieces of china. I glued them together and added silver and a garnet cabochon.
