On deck this week- pendants and earrings, mostly of the seashell variety.
The scattered ramblings thoughtful musings of a work at home mom: jewelry designing, crafting for fun, cooking, decorating my house and raising three boys
On deck this week- pendants and earrings, mostly of the seashell variety.
With some quiet in the house for a few hours, I've finally been able to get back in gear with my jewelry- the first two pieces I made are pendants using a client's own seashells from her collection
Settings complete
Ready for dry fitting
After a good polishing we have the pecten shell pendant
and the olive shell pendant
Nice to feel productive again!

Red and white pottery shard pendant
Blue floral pottery shard pendant
Green and white pottery shard pendant

I have a craft fair/fundraiser coming up at the end of the month- if you are local to RI, you can find me at Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick on Saturday, February 27, 2010 from 10a-4p. Whenever I'm preparing for a fair or vendor night, I try to come up with a few new ideas that I can add to my product line to keep things fresh.
For this particular event, I thought that adding some pretty things for little girls (or big girls who want to look cute while growing out their hair) might be a smart plan since the fair is raising money for St. Kevin Elementary School.
Here's a sneak peek at the pairs I've made up so far:
More pics forthcoming!
Just added to my Etsy shop and website.
