A Few New Things



I managed to get these little guys into my Etsy shop today.  I hope to add a few more things this weekend but we will see.  We have some family projects to tend to and boy they need doing.   I am just about done with my stack of custom items and special projects and I'm thinking that I'll take a bit of a break and work on getting the shop stocked up for a bit.  I have tons of stuff cut out and I want to get that all put together and done so I can play with some metal for a bit.  I have been collecting old metal buttons and playing with oxidation and patina.  Fun stuff!  I think I am also going to make some more of my pendants using the same technique.  I hope to have something to show for it soon.  Right now, all the pieces I have been working on are sitting on the table in the kitchen slowly changing from shiny to old and crusty.  I have a soft spot in my heart for old and crusty:)  Shiny is just too overdone to me!  Now off to bake some cookies for my sick kiddos and get ready for this crazy couple of days ahead.  Wish me luck!
