Photo Jewelry

Oh I am so in love with photo jewelry.  I had no clue whatsoever how to actually put it together but the internet is a beautiful thing for those of us who love to craft!  Many bloggers are wonderful enough to post their how to's and I get to learn through them how to make sweet things like a photo pendant.

What inspired me to make this was a project that my mother in law's bead store sent me two packages of Swarovski crystal flatbacks. We were to then create a variety of projects for the store to showcase how crystals can be utilized.  Um hello?  I would say that is right up my creative alley!

Now it is time to make another with Noah's photo!  

Metal Stamping

This has been something that I have wanted to try out for a while.  It took a bit to gather the right tools, and metal stamps, but yesterday I gave it a go.  A lot of tries, a lot of whacks (still needs perfecting) and some major mistakes.  Thankfully though when it was time to try it for real, not on a piece of practice metal, it worked wonderfully.

More to come on this fun subject.  I need some more practice!
