Yes, sorry. MORE jewelry. I worked my little tail off all week making new stuff and you have to see it. My apologies. ;oP
This first one I am very proud of because it is a new skill for me. It's a green gemstone cab - I wish I knew what the stone is, but I'm not sure - that I bezel set. I made the entire bezel! From the back plate to the hidden bail... all of this was new to me. Very proud. :o)
I couldn't decide whether I should put it on this gorgeous slinky snake chain or on a leather cord. I think it looks good with both, so I will probably give customers the choice when I put it up on the site.
These last two are pendants I made while playing with my brand new metal clay. They were clay but now they're pure silver. You gotta love that. I'm in awe of this stuff - it is so cool. It's an incredible medium... the possibilities are pretty much unlimited. Must.Get.More!
The little square one was my first - it has a tree branch impression. It needs a bit more polishing.
Then there's this one which I'm calling "Puppy Love". Hubby bought this puppy thing for me, after we saw it in the craft store a few weeks prior and commented on how it reminded us of our Trixie. I oxidized this piece to bring out the impression. Who doesn't love a puppy? Awwww.
Okay. That's all. For now. I'll try to make my next post about something other than jewelry. ;o)

oooohhhh!! You should start doing dog tags!!
I'm *not* spending any money on extras till I start earning a bit of extra money (I'm not... really... I'm just *not* allowed!!) but I would totally love to get my boys (b/c this baby is a BOY too!! But I think I might've told you that?!) Anyways, I'd love to get them each a dog tag, so you can practice making some, and then by the time I'm spending money again you'll be ready to custom make them to sell :)
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Placa de Vídeo, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://placa-de-video.blogspot.com. A hug.
You forgot to mention that the "XOXO" was not part of the stamp...that was something you added because of your own creative mind!
I love all of those pieces! The first one is gorgeous and I've never seen anything like the tree/clay one at all! WOW! You really are so creative!
I think I may have to go shopping again ;)
I am so impressed with the bezel set pendant! You should post picture of the back of it, so I can see all of your handiwork!
Very cool Crystal!
Hey! I haven't talked to you in ages! I just started a blog and saw that you were here so I added you to my page. I hope that is ok. Anyways, it is great to "see" you again!
Crystal, I just realized I never e-mailed your hubby. I'll get right on that!
Have a great day...
Gorgeous! You put my feeble efforts at jewelry making to shame! :)
Gorgeous! I'm drooling here...
Question for ya... We are buying my son an anchor charm inscribed with our wedding day and our initials to commemorate our family becoming one when I get remarried, and I want to put it on a chain like you show in the first pick. Do I just ask for a snake chain? Is it really sturdy? He's 4.5 years old, and I don't want him to lose the charm when some kid pulls on the chain at preschool...
