Vintaj Contest

Well I've finally done it. I've been watching the challenges over at the Vintaj blog for many months and telling myself that I would try it one of these days. Well a piece I was working on just happened to work for the theme this month which is Spring Riverbed. I wish all challenges I tried worked out this easily. This was a new technique I was trying out and the beads just naturally seemed to turn into a "riverbed".

I am very excited about this new technique so let me know what you think and head on over to Vintaj to vote for your favourite.

Key Charm Necklaces

I did some more jewelry creating yesterday. I've used old keys in some necklaces before but most of them sold before I took pictures of them. So I snapped them this time right away. They're made with real antique keys I found at an Antique shop. I love old keys but never knew what to do with them before. I don't know where I got the idea to make them into necklaces but I like the way they turned out.

I also made my own hooks and rings for a closure that's adjustable. I like the way these turned out too. I'll definitely be doing more of these.
