Awareness Earrings

These are some new earrings that are in the "awareness" ribbon shape. These have a little pink pearl and little pink crystals for breast cancer awareness. These will be available on my Etsy Shop, or on my Home page as soon as I can get another minute to go post them.

Custom Order Photo Pendants

I finally got everything I needed to make these pendants that I've been wanting to make for a while. They are made from cutting down blank microscope slides, putting whatever image you want between them, sealing it with copper foil tape, then soldering it. I add little embelishments to mine.


The first pendant seen here is a good ol' University of Texas pendant that I made with scrapbook paper and orange font on photo shop (no licensed images here--my OWN doing). I tinkered with some wire until I figured out that I could make a little longhorn to embelish it with. I think he's cute!! I'll work on one for the Aggies next. I am neutral in that fight.
This second one is my precious angel babies......do you know how hard it is to get two babies in a picture together? I haven't had another one of BOTH of them together since Chelsea was still in slug status.
Anyway, these are both currently available at my Etsy shop for $20. You can visit the shop to look for "ready made" items (and some custom-such as the photo charm), or visit my online shopping cart to build your own piece of jewelry at http://www.sparklystrandz.com/

Rings Added to Etsy

I haven't added these to the home page or shopping cart yet, but I have listed a few for sale in the Etsy shop. These are both made from buttons and wire. I think they are fun, and I'm finally excited to be able to have some "fun rings" to wear. One of the whole reasons I started making jewelry in the first place is because I could never find anything that would fit my pitiful little wrists. As always, these can be custom ordered to whatever color and size you need. I have them listed at $8.
