Charm Swap

Charms for EtsyMetalClay team, originally uploaded by Chocolate And Steel (Christine).

The EtsyMetalClay team put on a charm swap. This is my contribution. I made the texture for the back using a photo-polymer plate. I love those things. The design is difficult to see in this picture but I drew all of these different whimsical flowers that play on the poppy on the front. I also used this project as an opportunity to experiment with different finishes. I love buying different attachments for my flex shaft and I never know what they do until I test it out. now I know what everything does. It was fun!

I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I will, in return, be sent a package of 27 different charms. I'm so eager to see what everyone else came up with.

We all made one extra charm that will be used to create a charm bracelet that we are donating to a charity. We chose "The Andruzzi Foundation" to donate the bracelet to. They have a live auction to raise money and I hope this brings them a pretty penny to use towards cancer research.

Here's one for the ear

I finally made some new earrings. I debuted them at Renegade Los Angeles and were a big hit. Hope you all like them:) They are coming in at a super affordable price too. $18 for the studs and $22 for the hooks. They are, as always, fine silver with sterling silver hooks and studs. They are being listed in my Etsy shop within the next few days.


There are many more new pieces to show you. And I'm so excited to share with everyone my latest collaboration with Boygirlparty. Who doesn't love boygirlparty, and now you can take her illustrations with you everywhere you go.
