Memory glass work...

More charms for my travel-themed necklace- London and Paris.




I may take apart one of them and re-do it as New York, so my final necklace would be NY-London-Paris. :)

Navy girl pendant- based on a classic WWI recruitment poster.



I glued small charms to each frame. The Navy poster image came from LunaGirl Images.

These came in the mail yesterday- mini shadow boxes. I can put any kind of tiny item in them! I'll probably cover the insides with clip art, then choose a theme.



I suck at soldering. I tried to do the Mucha pendant again, and failed miserably. I just can't get the solder to flow well. :( I hope I figure out what I'm doing wrong- I don't want to waste any more solder or tape!

More charm work.

One success, one work in progress, one mess. :(

The success- a memory frame charm. I glued the little charms (from B'Sue Boutiques) to the frame. It's 1x1 inch, much smaller than the picture!



This will be part of a bigger project- a travel themed necklace. The next memory frame will be London themed.

Work in progress- three little charms with vintage photos from LunaGirl images:



They need more resin. I have three more blanks to work with! These are so tiny- 8mm.

More from LunaGirl, and this was the mess. :( A Mucha poster with a rhinestone border. This was supposed to be under glass and soldered, but on my first try, the glass cracked, and on the second, the solder just didn't flow and made a HUGE mess. So I pulled the glass off and will try again...



I love the images from LunaGirl!

New stuff to post, at last!

Getting back into charms, plus I made pendants with resin.

"Keep Calm", a double-sided bezel:



London themed charms surround the pendant:



A Paris pendant. I'm not really happy with it- I think it's a bit cloudy.



Also, I made a quickie necklace with a pendant from Vintage Groove:

Bottlecap jewelry!

A neckclace and earring set for my sister:



All I had to do was drill holes in the sides/tops of the caps, and add crystals to complete the look. I hope she likes it...she loves anything Mets!

Black Friday loot!

Jo-Ann Fabric had a big sale on their beads and supplies, plus I had a 20% off total purchase coupon. I went a little nuts:



The bottlecaps on top were ordered online. They arrived in the mail just as I got home from Jo-Ann! :) They're going to be made into a necklace.

Put this together last night...

After yesterday's midterm elections, this is a sentiment I'm going to have to follow. :p

My town just got a Hobby Lobby (that's where the pendant came from). Just what I needed, another craft store!

Another charming piece!

I made a bracelet for myself using Scrabble letters. :)



The J cracked a bit, so I'll have to replace it. I'll have to wait, because there was only one J in the set of letters I bought.

The daisy charms are from Jolee's Jewels.
