Last post on pendants....

I promise this is my last post on all these crazy pendants...maybe. I thought it would be so fun to make vintage movie poster ones. Since I LOVE movies (especially old ones) and I love wearing what I love. I made loads of them. Some turned out good, some did not. Here are a few. I also put them in my etsy shop!

Here are some more necklaces I made. I love making these and trying new things with them! I think I am going to sell them on my etsy site soon. I had a fun idea that I am working on at the moment for these necklaces too. I will post them when they are all done. Here are these fun ones!
BTW I really suck at taking good pictures, so these are kind of bad quality. They look much better in person.




I loved how this Audrey turned out! I made her necklace and tiara sparkle! I also love the red!


So this was an experiment. I wood burned this swan ( can you tell it is a swan) into this one inch disc. It turned out alright, I see some great potential in the future for some projects with that wood burner. I am excited!


Marilyn Monroe. She also has a sparkly necklace!


The Beethoven! For all you classic lovers. I am more of a Chopin lover.


The Hitchcock! Who doesn't love a Hitchcock? But who loves him enough to where him around their neck (that just sounded way more creepier than I meant it too)? I am one of those people.


The Bjork. This is another one of those necklaces that only me and a few others might like.


This Audrey is on a one inch circle, but instead of a bail, I used silver wire and made a loop with a bead.

Headbands!

I just realized that I have not featured all my headbands on here. These are what prompted me to start my etsy shop. Whenever I wore one of these people asked where I got it, and all these people wanted one. So I opened up my shop. It is hard to sell on etsy though. It is more a word of mouth thing and takes awhile to get noticed. Anyways here are most of the styles of headbands I make.

Earrings

I have really gotten into buying beads and making earrings and watchbands and such. More recently my friend Kristin has been teaching me how to wire wrap. Wire wrapping is much more detailed than the stuff I was making before and pretty much makes my old stuff look really lame. Anyways it is so much fun! I love it! It has been fun making new friends in the process too! Thanks Kristin!
Here are my first pair of earrings I made. I hope to make more fancy ones in the future, but these things took me a good 2 hours to make, and they are not exactly the same size, but who cares! I like them!
