my head is spinning...

with new ideas!

I just got these new photo pendants in. They are soo sweet! You take out the glass, sandwich a photo or two inside, reinsert the glass and burnish (press down firmly) the little tab. The pendant and chain have a black patina (base metal). I added a freshwater pearl and czech glass bead. This side has Matty.

and this side has David (two photos, back to back).

I made the necklace long. It slips over my neck and hangs past the bust.These are $38. Add a stamped tag for $12

This is an antiqued brass watch fab. SO TOTALLY FUN! Can you tell I am excited? It is strung on chunky antique brass chain. Inside I stamped a single initial on a copper disc and let some tiny watch parts float around in there. I am going to do a few more samples. Maybe one with the words 'tick tock' stamped on the cooper disc ot 'time flies'. These have a great 'heft' and are so different than anything else I have seen!

I made it about 20" long. These will go for $56

OK, Lisa- you're going to have to stop being so creative- I can't afford it! Would it be possible to hang two photo squares on the chain? You know, for 4 kids... I can't play favorites! :)
Beautiful pieces, Lisa, really.

So amazingly creative.
Danielle is reading over my shoulder and she loves them too.
Could you make one for a dog collar? Just kidding!

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Maybe I'll have to save some pennies and get you to make me a watch that says "A time to keep". What a great idea, - both of them!

Yes I too love them all. Question about the picture one, do you just cut a regular sized photo and is it possible to get it on a shorter chain?? Tracy
