Oldies but goodies

I was looking through some old pictures of my earlier works and I discovered some really great designs (hope I'm allowed to say this about my own stuff). These are things that I have created in the past and didn't repeat again. I tend to stop making each design after a few times because I love to keep them in small series so that they remain unique.

Actually, my bird parade ring is an "old" design that I created a few years ago. I recreated the ring and uploaded to my etsy store. I was quite surprised at the reactions it got. I think it is more popular now than when I first made it! In fact it is one of my most popular items now.

I guess this is partly because the photograph turned out so great. You can see above the old photograph I had and how much better it looks now. I have even started expanding this design and I made similar bird parade earrings.

So I'm thinking of re-creating some additional designs to see if this success can repeat itself. Maybe I'll discover other creations that were retired too early.
