Up to Lately

Chronicle
My television debut is going to be this Wednesday on New England Chronicle! For those of you within range, that is at 7:30pm on channel 5 (ABC). 

I should be able to access a link to the segment online after it airs so I will be sure to post it, embarrassed or not! 

The episode is playfully titled "Keep it Symbol" since it is about the Massachusetts state symbols. 

Mixing Materials
I've had some ideas in my crazy head and had a little time to play around.

I love inspirational items and of course gemstones. So pairing them makes me happy.

Strength Necklace

I finally got to use some of the polymer squiggles I made.

Bold Necklace

Courage in life is so important. I never wanted to be on tv so I really had to channel some courage in order to not pass up such a great opportunity.

Courage Necklace

No rhyme or reason here. Just some pretty stones!

Multi Stone Necklace

I also found this ring base in my stuff. No clue where it came from. So I added a cabochon of white howlite. I love the simplicity and now considering making these for my shop. A perfect complement to my earring studs!

A Custom Order

I was asked to make 10 hand stamped strong charms for a customer who will be making mitochondrial disease awareness key chains. 

Thank you for stopping by. Have a creative, fun week! ~Val

Mod 86 Designery and Metal Stamping

Metal Stamping Fun
Stamping time!

I used the 1/4 inch copper cuff bracelet blanks in my shop for these inspirational earrings. They were the perfect width for my stamping set. 

The ear wires are crafted from solid sterling silver. The earrings are available in my Etsy shop!

2015 Planner
This is my new planner from Mod 86 Designery on Etsy!

This sturdy book has great features including laminated covers, a great elastic that wraps around the entire planner which will keep it together when I drop it (yes, I'm clumsy), tabs for each month, built in envelopes, plenty of notes pages, a pen and more!

The week on 2 pages always works best for me and my to do lists each day.

However this shop offers 8 different layout options since everyone's needs vary.

The planners can be personalized but I just went with "planner".

The different planner prints also come in a variety of colors for all tastes.
