Pendant making fool!

So I have been making pendants like crazy in the last week. So far I have made almost 200 and have about 100 more that I need to tape and solder...I should get those done today. I am kind of an addictive personality. Good thing about that is that I shouldn't have to make them for a long time now. I hope to list the hundreds of one of a kind pendants on etsy after the 18th when I have a show at Horace Mann Middle School in Sheboygan. The show is 9-3. It is the first craft show I am doing that I wasn't a part of the planning. Should be fun...my friend Sara is coming with some of her lovelies and my sister in law Sarah is coming to help out. Should be a blast! I am hoping to make some $$$$ for our vacation the following weekend with our good friends from Spring Green... Jeff and Laura. We are staying at the Osthoff in Elkhart Lake. Swanky.

Rainy Days...

Are so good for production! I got 28 pendants made today. I am kicking back and taking a break after that with a yummy cup of Alterra coffee and peppermint mocha creamer...yum. It will be a short break though because I am excited to turn these babies into some kick butt necklaces! Watch the etsy shop....

I love making jewelry.

A great new necklace I just listed on etsy. I am seriously on a jewelry roll here folks. Can't get enough of it. I made 15 new pendants today too! Watch for them soon.....

Lake Michigan Stone Pendants.

I am having so much fun today. My necklace I made it the previous post lead me to look at soldering a little differently and I am playing with wire and stones from my Lake Michigan beach excursions. In case you don't live around here I am located just 2 blocks from this beautiful (and far too taken for granted) lake. I love walking on the beach looking for cool stones and beach glass and finally figured out a way to wear them. I used to find flat stones and have my husband drill them for me but that is not an easy task so we gave up. These on the other hand are very fun to make and relatively simple. I know the look is rather artsy and maybe not for everyone but I love them. Now I have to go to the beach. Bring on the warm weather!!!!

Oh yeah I will be testing these babies out at the store...selling for $25 with a chain.

Paint by number pendants.

Who doesn't love a good vintage paint by number? Well I do and thought hmmmm...why not wear one? I love love love how these turned out and can't wait to see people wearing them. I love them because even if you have little or no artistic talent you can be an artist! I will be listing some on the etsy shop and the others will be here at the store for my usual wholesale pendant price of just $15!

Come on I know you want one. What are you waiting for?

Pendant crazy....

....is what I am. I am totally and completely addicted to making pendants right now. These little flowers that I have been making for a little while now really look cute in these pendants. I added a little ephemera and stamped the glass and here is what I came up with. I have been doing a lot of experimenting with this and have a few really fun stuff coming....so cool I don't know if I want to show anyone because I know there will be copying! So I will send some to a few magazines before I sell them so I can get some credit for the cool idea.

Scraps.

I finished a bunch of these today. I like how they turned out a lot and decided the official name of them is going to be scraps. Selling them for only $25! I kept the back visible as well as the front so you can see the working side of the little quilt sample too. I will list them on Monday in my etsy shop....check it out.

Off to party now.
