They were then handpainted. It is also possible to occasionally find them made from leather. Both types are susceptible to cracks and damage though, which I don't normally find detracts from their beauty. This one unfortunately had completely lost it's roses though.<BR/>Hope your jewellery sales are going well!<BR/>NikiNiki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-30025237494883066662007-05-08T15:51:00.000+00:002007-05-08T15:51:00.000+00:00Hi,What were the original ones made out of? were t...Hi,<BR/>What were the original ones made out of? were they ceramic?<BR/>LOvely mirror!<BR/>Toby.natural attrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932782598258944332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-69393355933914490172007-05-08T14:48:00.000+00:002007-05-08T14:48:00.000+00:00Another unique and beautiful transformation Niki.Another unique and beautiful transformation Niki.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
