Folksy Handmade - Hidden Treasure

This Folksy Friday is inspired by my Hidden Treasure bird bath which has a design showing sparkling treasure peeking out from in the cracks of the grey rock. So I've collected together things that are made of, or have the colour of -Precious metals, Agate, and Fossils that are found hidden in rocks and stone, and Mother of Pearl, Pearl and Amber that are found hidden in shells and the sea. The locket made of precious metal, and the box made with agate and in the colour of a precious metal add extra to the hidden theme too.

(Shop menu under the gallery, and for the Pinterest board follow the Folksy Handmade link (pins will be updated during the day due to a bit of a rush to get this one done.)

The idea for this Hidden Treasure Bird Bath followed on from making my Fossil one. I wanted to make one that showed finding treasure in rocks, like precious metals or gemstones. So this design is representing cracks in rock, and the treasure sparkling through. When the bird bath is full, it'll add to the 'hidden' effect as you get a glimpse of the iridescent stones sparkling underneath the water in between the lines of grey tiles which are like layers of slate.
