Initial Charms for a Customer






I did some Initial charms for a client and liked them so well I have put them in my etsy store. I am in love with the harlequin, houndstooth and zebra prints in black and white. Everything I do lately, it seems I am using these three designs, a lot of the time in the black and white theme. I used the houndstooth and zebra in these new charms with a Hot Pink polka dot oval frame with a pink letter. I think black and hot Pink look so striking together!

Shadow Box Soldered Pendant with Zebra Print





(Click on the pictures to enlarge)


I Just Created a Shadow Box Style Charm! My first try at the Box style pendant. I have done some of the stacked glass, 3D style pendants, but have had this idea floating around in my head for a shadow Box Charm that would hold a blingy somethin/somethin. I had to really work and rework the solder to get it where I wanted it, but very rewarding and I really like the finished product.

I did learn a lot, and I think the next ones will even be better. I had to share on my blog, before listing in my etsy store. Thanks to my sweet baby girl, Candice, for the great pictures, anything would look wonderful on her!

I am selling both the pendant alone and as a blingy necklace in my shop, so for more pictures, go to my etsy shop by clicking on the link at the right hand side of my blog.

Ball chain Soldered Charm Necklaces





I have put some nicely priced Ball Chain and Pendant necklaces in my etsy store. I love the way the Valentine one came out. It is in the 3D, stacked glass style, I have recently been doing. Of course, How could I resist doing a Twilight charm/necklace, so popular right now. Take a look at whats new in my etsy store for Valentine's Day, by clicking on the etsy link at the right side of my blog.

New Collage Pendants





I thought I would try some new style charms for Valentine's Day. My Dear Hubby got me a book about soldered charms for Christmas. He is so thoughtful, always trying to surprise me and give me something I would like. The author did some collage, 3D type charms. I have seen these around but have never tried any. You make them by stacking layers of glass and cutting out designs to put on each layer. They have never really been my style, but I thought it might be fun to try some.
I had just purchased some wonderful, new Valentine Designs, so have used some of them in the new charms. I really like the way the Ed Hardy and the Paper Doll Angel turned out, so am showing them here.
