CS7

I just participated in another EtsyMetal Charm Swap. These are the charms I made (sterling silver, copper, freshwater pearls, etched, oxidized, riveted, fabricated). They are two sided so these pics show both front and back.

I can't wait to get my charms from the other participants in the mail! There are some pretty awesome ones. Head on over to the Etsymetal Blog if you want a sneak peek!

Etsy Metal Charm Swap

A few months back I signed up to participate in a charm swap with some other fellow EtsyMetal members. Well, we finally all got our charms and it was so exciting to open the package and see them all! Yesterday I made myself a little bracelet for all the charms so I can wear them. Here are all the charms I got, I love them all! There are so many talented, creative people in EtsyMetal, and I feel so lucky to have a little piece from each of them.I already signed up for the next charm swap and cant wait to see what comes from that.

Charmed

I finished my charms for the "Charmed" show at the Society for Contermorary Craft in Pittsburgh. For some reason this project was really, really hard for me! I guess I am pretty happy with how these turned out, but I'd like some more time to explore charms and not be rushed, so maybe I'll come back to this later. Anyway, here are the details for the show:
