Lorraine’s This2That

This is a wonderful article about my passion.  Please read - I hope you enjoy it!

It all started while playing with some metal zipper that I removed from a garmetn because it didn't work properly.  I dislike throwing away anything that might have a use.  As I worked with a couple of ideas the jewelry pictured here evolved from just playing.  I have got a lot of positive comments and I have actually sold a piece.  Please consider giving something unique Made in the USA. Thanks!

I made teddy bears from my dad's winter jacket for his grandson's so that they would have something to remember him by. Keeping loved ones close at HEART. I hope you enjoy!

From the t-shirt, blouse and jeans of a loved one I made a sweater, pants, vest and bow for the teddy bear. This way they can keep the memories close at heart and help with healing. bringing comfort and joy to those left behind!!
