New Metal Stamped Pieces

I know I probably really need to focus on one particular type of jewelry making, find my "niche"so to speak.  Apparently that is how to make my jewelry making business successful...  But I love changing things up, trying new techniques, etc.  This week I've been making some metal stamped pieces, then adding a heat patina with my micro torch.  Such a fascinating process! 

Some of the new pieces in my shop:

I also got out the resin.....

I painted this sand dollar pendant with metal patina, then I added a resin coating:

So ready to go to the beach!!!

Happy New Year! Valentine's Day Sale!

Wow, January is almost over!  The weather here in Michigan actually hasn't been too bad, no sub-zero temperatures to contend with so far this winter, and not much snow, other than the 6 inches we got last weekend.  I've been working on all sorts of different projects this month, feeling a little more creative than usual I guess!

Trying Something New!

I've always wanted to try to make a wire-wrapped tree of life pendant.  I was always so intimidated, but  I finally gave it a whirl, and I think I'm addicted now!  They are so much fun to make.

Copper Pendants Now Available in My Etsy Shop

I have now listed a few of the etched copper pendants in my Etsy shop, after tweaking the patina on them just a bit. I decided not to punch holes in them yet, giving the customer the choice of how many and where.  Hoping to make up a few more, also want to make up some bronze metal clay pendants and toggles in my kiln to list as well, so I have added a new section to my shop, Handmade Supplies. Hope you check it out!
