Headpins In Process

Out of the kiln and tumbled.

Now the detangling begings!

Detangled and wire straightened.

Tomorrow, the torch and sealing and they'll be ready to go!!

They'll look something like this!

These are already listed in my Etsy Shop so if you'd like some they'll be ready to go tomorrow.

Buttons in Action

A few weeks ago I got a special order request for a pair of 2 inch Paisley Buttons.

when I Liz Dodson what they were going to be used for she said

"It's a wrap I made with some crazy novelty yarn I spun with copper sparklies.

 Super warm and very artsy"

Liz sent me an email a few days ago with the subject line of "buttons in action"

Needless to say I am very excited and I LOVE the results!!!

AJE Earring Challenge - Reveal 1

Today is the first Reveal in the AJE Earring Challenge,

the goal is to make a pair of earrings each week and reveal them every other Sunday.

 

Confetti

 

These were a new design for me and I've now made a few pair, I think they are so much fun!!

 

 

These funky earrings were the restult of a bracelet challenge, yes bracelet!!

The spirals were a link in a bracelet I was constructing for the

 AJE December Component of the Month

which so far is unfinished especially since I have to replace the bits I stole to make these earrings.

 

Click HERE to see all the wonderful Earring Challenge Participants.

 

Both of these pair of earrings are sold but there are lots more to come and lots of earrings available in my Etsy Shop.

Working on...

Copper, headpins and beads.

Trying hard to get them ready to fire tonight otherwise I might have to wait a couple days,

I don't want to have to wait!!!

I'm having lots of fun with these beads but they take so much time.

I think this Ammonite one is going to ROCK!!

And a cute little Sea Urchin Bead!

Paisley Leaf Headpins

(paisley on both sides)

These Round Headpins have Paisley on one side and Houndstooth on the other,

I love these 2 textures together, one soft and feminine one hard and angular!

I have lots of other stuff to fire too!!
