Laughing out loud!

Just made this last night:



I love working with Scrabble letters! I just got this batch in:



I've already used up all the F's, G's, M's, and L's. I need more. :(

For Mets fans...

The season hasn't even started yet, but based on past seasons, this is good advice to follow:



I made the memory frame pendant with an image I found on metsblog.com. Too bad there isn't a "Now Panic and Freak Out" to put on the other side. Knowing the Mets, it might be needed...

I plan to add baseball and bat charms later.

Lots of stuff today!

Found even more clip art to use for jewelry from http://www.etsy.com/shop/UniqueBanners?ga_ref=auto&ga_search_query=1+inch+collage+sheets+inchies&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade .
I made three pendants:







Also put together some Scrabble letters in internet slang:



I wanted to make more, but I broke a few letters while drilling. I'd like to do "LOL", "BFF", and others.

More "charming" Paris pieces!

I may re-do these because of the bubbles- but this is what I have so far:





I probably need to use a better resin.

Scrabble tiles!

I put these together last night.





The images are from http://cloud9kreations.com/shop/. I re-sized and stretched them a bit so they would fit the tiles, then glued them to a tile and covered them with ModPodge Dimensional Magic.

These are so easy to do!

More charming stuff!

Another addition to my New York/London/Paris necklace plan: New York!



I found a little Brooklyn Bridge charm, and the picture came from an old American Airlines travel poster. Now I need to figure out how I'm going to assemble the final piece!

Girls in a toy car:



Another fabulous old photo found at http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ . I sponged a bit of copper ink on the photo for some color, then glued a little old fashioned car charm to the frame. I may cut off the top ring and make this into a pin instead of putting it on a chain.

Mucha Bling!

My soldering still isn't perfect, so I decorated the front with rhinestones.



My main problem is that I wasn't cleaning the tip properly. I bought a tip cleaner/tinner and used it for the first time tonight. It's awful stuff, but it works. The solder flowed better, but my tape is still a bit bumpy. It just won't stick!

I made another memory glass pendant- a naughty flapper (image from the Graphics Fairy):



This just needed a little extra sparkle, so I put a few rhinestones on the corners, and added a copper crown.
