New Initial Charms

Candice designed these new initial graphics for my charms. They are simple and dramatic at the same time. I love the way the round charms turned out. This is the first time I have attempted circle charms. A little bit of a challenge to keep the solder smooth. Candice is going to start an etsy store for her graphic digital designs. I am so excited, because her work is so unique and awesome! I know she will do well with her store.

New Collage Box Charms

What is it that draws us to something Vintage? I love to go into an antique mall and browse for hours (to my hubby's dismay). My grandmother had a very small house in Prescott, Arizona, that had a total of four very small rooms and one bath. One whole room was devoted to her "Treasures". Little figurines, cups and saucers, old lace, etc., from times gone by. I remember her old cookie jar the best, where she kept her "little money", hidden so the passing Gypsies wouldn't discover it there. What wonderful memories I have of that special little room of Grandmothers! The nostalgia of vintage is such a draw to our hearts.


I love the look of Vintage in Box Charms, using old photos, vintage adds, etc. I wanted to share a few of my new Soldered Box charms I created, in memory of Grandmother's special little room, in a vintage collage style. A couple are from memories from my childhood days, the Dollie on the car hood (she's quite sassy LOL) and the "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which is now vintage (which means I am old LOL).

Candice's new Charm Designs

Candice (my baby girl) is so handy with photoshop and graphic design. Don't know where she gets her talent from. I have been begging her to design some graphics for some soldered charms. Her free time is rare, as she juggles her jewelry design business, graphic card design orders, plus being a very involved mom of four very busy children. She fit mom in, and I wanted to share my new soldered charm designs she did for me. Can't wait to list them in my etsy shop.

New Soldered Box Charms

I have been working on some new Soldered Box Style Charms that I have used blingy charms inside the box. I really enjoy making these, and the possibilities are unlimited. My favorite is the "Key to My Heart" charm. There is something mysterious and symbolic about keys. I have always loved vintage keys, as it makes the mind imagine what does this key unlock. Symbolically, keys have been tied to unlocking the heart. Leave a comment, and tell me which is your favorite and why!

The Winner IS!

I was going to post the winner, first thing this morning, but had some unexpected company come down and stay the night. (A good, life long friend from Prescott) So I have been entertaining.
Now, down to business! I felt the fair thing to do would be to have my DH draw the name. Sooooooooo.......Drum roll please! LOL

The winner is PAM!

Thanks to everyone that commented, and for all the possitive, kind words. I wil do this again in the future, maybe with one of my boxes!

Tomorrow, I will be drawing the winner of my Soldered Charm Pendant giveaway. If you haven't posted a comment to be in the running, today is the last day. DA DA DA DA LOL Thanks for all your great comments!

New Soldered Box Charm Giveaway!

I love designing and trying something new, giving a little twist to something I have done before. All my stacked Box Charms, in the past, have been done with flat glass, sanwiched style. This time I desided to do some 3D style Box Charms with a new twist, adding Beveled glass to the front of the charm. I really Love the way they look. I think beveled glass gives such richness and depth to a charm. I Love these new designs, also!










My favorite is the cupid style angel with the leopard like butterfuly wings. Enter my free Charm give away, by leaving a comment on which charm is your favorite, and why! I will be announceing the winner on my blog!
