Antiqued Copper Ball Tipped Headpins

I love them so much they get their own special little hand made jar on the bead table.

Bezel Clasp in Antiqued Copper & Brass

Just listed!

 I need clasps! I'm sittin there with 8 different designs to string and I do not have any clasps! I headed to the work bench and hammered out the most versatile design, the "S" clasp in 16 gauge copper. But that wasn't enough, it needed something spectacular for my special necklaces. My eyes fell upon a bag of neglected vintage brass bezels and a light bulb went on! "I'll solder the bezels to the "S" clasps!" I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Love them! I can't wait for my resin to cure so I can show you what it looks like in a design.

Try using it front of your design to add an interesting focal to your necklace or bracelet, fill with your favorite bird image or a monogram. Use Ice Resin to seal it in quality.

You can get one here for yourself.

Yay!!!! They're finished!

 

Lots of leaf charms. Leaf charms with lotus pod slices....

 and Hydrangea flowers.....

                                     

 and sprinkled lavender ....

and tiny pressed red buds.....

and even mini leaves.....

I do not expect these to last long so I have already started a new batch. I switched to a jewelers grade of resin and although they take much longer to finish, I am really happy with the results. Very clear and hard resin that I will talk more about in another post .

You can purchase your very own leaf charms here!

Pendant Necklace Give-a-way -Angel Wing on a Heart

Leaf green mixed with a pinch of gold, a pinch of pistachio and a touch of mica for shimmer, created the most beautiful shade of forest green. The embossed patina-ted, copper graphic is a damask leaf by Leigh Hannan that I turned side-ways and angled to give the impression of an angel wing. The copper chain it comes assembled to is adjustable from 16 to 19" with wire-wrapped links and a lobster claw clasp.

This is about as Christmasy as I get with my work as the traditional Christmas colors just do not excite me.

Do you like it? Would you really like for me to ship it to you gift wrapped, all pretty like?

Okay, just leave me 1 ego boosting comment below (ie; "You're so awesome, Shannon" or "You fill such a void in my life, Shannon" or even "Shannon, I have such immense respect for you") and my Pinky will draw a name from the submissions in about 1 week.
Make sure I can reach you by a blog link or email.
See ya!




Sorry, I forgot to post the winner for this give-a-way! This piece went to DigitalMisfitGirl!
I will have another give-a-way at the end of January and it will be spectacular!
