Hi! I'm new here and...

Hi! I'm new to this comm, and I am also new to the beading/jewelry making scene (I had to come up with an art project..this is what I chose. :))

I have made several different stone-chip necklaces that are popular with us girls down here in East Texas, but I want to add some pizzazz that no one around here has.

I was wandering through etsy.com and one project really stuck with me... it was a basic beaded necklace but it had a polyeurathaned mum flower charm! I get the concept of dipping the flower after it's dried, but I'm not sure on the how-to-make-the-flower-a-charm part?

I was thinking about attatching it to a metal back of some sort and soldering it to a hook? I have no idea how it was done, and it really stuck with me. Is there anyone here that solders or even remotely has an idea of how to do this project?

Thank you for your input!!

:)

Recent Pottery

Made a couple new things recently.


My friend and I did a craft exchange where she knit me up a pair of wonderful, glorious, soft, warm socks (can you tell I really like them?) and in exchange she wanted a yarn bowl. So first I had to figure out what a yarn bowl was. Then figure out how to make one. It was quite an adventure of trial and error, but I'm reasonably pleased with my final result!

fortune cookies

I have a slight obsession with saving every fortune I get. Any ideas on how to display them? Right now I just tape them to my desk and stick them in my wallet or any pouch with a zipper.
