Working on Lately

I have been working on some new findings for my shop. Since I enjoy banging metal, that have been my focus!

I have been hammering, stamping and antiquing copper pieces that can be used for earrings, necklace charms, sun catchers, dream catchers and other crafts! 
Calm and Serenity Charms
Using affirmation words, I have been listing them in 2 pairs of related words.
Create and Inspire Charms
I have also added handmade sterling silver earring wires to my shop.
Handcrafted Ear Wires
Making little polymer clay findings has been fun too! I need to experiment more here since I'm not super happy with how the gemstones look on the dark clay. So I will have to try some lighter tones or painting the clay. 
Maybe when I try making something with them I will may change my mind in how I feel about them!
Here is a necklace I made for myself with some of the polymer clay components I received from Sharyl's Jewelry.
I love the warmth and chunkiness of the final piece!

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