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!

And just like that, another year has flown by....

Not much going on in my shop, not feeling very creative so far this year.  Probably because I am still in vacation mode.  We spent a week in Florida over the holidays.  The weather wasn't overly warm, but it was still warmer than the negative temperatures back home!  I collected a lot of seashells, hoping to get some things made with them.

Here's a couple of new things I did get made up, getting ready for Valentine's Day!

True Love Pendant

Music Heart Pendant

And here's a picture from Florida, dreaming of warmer weather!

I think I need to move near the beach!

Papyrus Font

I have always loved the font Papyrus, something about it really appeals to me, I use it a lot when typing journaling blocks for my scrapbooks, etc.  I discovered a vendor on Etsy that sells this font in a metal stamp! I was so excited, I couldn't wait to get it!  Here are a few new pendants where I used this font:

Beach Glass Love

I love beach glass - any kind of beach glass.  Real beach glass, recycled glass, cultured beach glass.  I am currently OBSESSED with it.  I love the soft colors, and of course it reminds me of the beach and summer.  It is supposedly spring here in Michigan, but I am still waiting for the warmer weather.  A few new recycled/beach glass items in my shop:

And I just ordered some more recycled glass pieces, so be on the lookout for more new items!
