my little labors of love are finally
FOR SALE!!!
i can honestly say these beauties are true "labors of love". i spent my summer crafting these through lots of trial and error. you can read more about that process
here. happy to say though, they were worth every second.
looking forward to making more in the near future. hope you love them as much as i do...
{feel free to comment below and let me know your thoughts. i LOVE feedback!}
my little labors of love will be available for purchase! worked on these beauties all summer long and i'm so excited to be able to share them with you! with the holidays around the corner, well these are the perfect gift for that special little girl of yours...or even for yourself. (i may have made an extra...or two...for ME. :)) they will feature four different designs as well as different metal finishes. so stoked for these!
to know me is to know that i never do anything halfway...all or nothing mentality for me. when i decided that i wanted to make and sell my own pendant necklaces come this september well, naturally i had to design my own little cards on which to place them. thanks,
visatprint for yet another bang up job!
sweet pendant necklaces coming this september to my
etsy shop. super stoked!
of sorts.
i've been working on these sweet little pendant necklaces lately to add to my shop in september. and needless to say, they definitely come with a bit of a learning curve...and i'm pretty crafty. i'm embarrassed to admit the number of glass cabochons i actually went through until i had a successful outcome. in my defense, it seemed to be the glue (or so i thought) that just wasn't meshing with my inkjet printer. so...
i wound up purchasing a *special* glue which claimed to be THE glue for ink jet printers...no smearing, no bubbles, no color changing. operative word being "claimed." talk about a total disappointment and money wasted (not to mention sheer frustration). while i was purchasing the glue i figured why not purchase some more glass cabochons since i had wasted so many of them. another disaster. 13 out of 25 pieces of glass...BROKEN. the rest, chipped. needless to say, neither of those make for a very happy nicole. however, there is a silver lining....
weeks before i found this little gem (no pun intended) of an etsy shop called
pretty charmed. run by a great lady by the name of cheryl. everything perfectly packed.
glass cabochons in PERFECT shape. no chips. no breaks. just beautiful crystal clear glass ovals. also the
pendant trays and
chains to match...perfect. i found it easiest by going with one of her
DIY pendant kits. everything you need is included.
for me, i had to forgo the inkjet printer and go to my local staples to have the images printed out on a laser jet printer. the glue just wasn't working out on my inkjet printed images. now everything is good to go and i can add these adorable little pendants to my shop this fall!
{thanks for listening to my little rant about the joys of jewelry making. i'm going back to my paintbrush now...}
