Pendant



I keep finding cute pendants like this on Etsy. And as any artist can attest to I will look at something and refuse to buy it because I think "I can totally make that." Most of the time I don't ever follow through and then I'll just wish I had gotten it in the first place. But this time I actually did follow through! I seriously can't believe how easy these are to make. But again, for any jewelry project, having the right tools makes a huge difference. The right tools aren't cheap either. So I made this little pendant with my daughters names on it and put it on a chain I had from another necklace. Voila! Instant jewelry...that I will actually wear.
I've already had requests from others to make one for them too. Just another thing that makes me think I really need to sell art online!

  3. My husband and I really couldn't agree on names so we went with family names. I like them because they aren't very popular but they aren't unusual weird.
    And I think selling stuff will happen eventually. I need to make more artwork though!

  6. Sure did! Stamped, hammered, domed, a little liver of sulphur to darken the letters, and polished. I ordered new letter stamps for the school and I just had to try them out!
