Puggy spam...Emmie is growing

I just realize it has been so long since i made an update...so much has happened in the past 4 months...so the dilemma do i recap or just start from here...well i think the easiest would be to just start from here!

Back tracking a couple of weeks ..our newest addition to the family..our baby girl pug: Emmie!

the light of my life..well another light added..all of my children, my hubby and my other pug Oscar are lights too! She sure is a funny girl and quite different than Oscar. She is more aggresive and playful yet sweet too~! She loves her mamma and has made it known her favorite sleeping spot is on my neck! haha! This was taken a couple of weeks ago and i promised to take some more today! I am sure she is even bigger yet...

robin eggs ready to hatch..

another fun charm. I was trying to think outside of the box for the charm swap..and was brain storming for things that were different..for som reason this image of an egg with one wing coming out came to my minds eye! I giggled and and decided not only would it be fun and unique t also very symbolic. For me it kind of represents a stage that i am in at the moment..needing to hatch and fly ...so here i am stretching out that first wing to catch the wind...and eventuall i see takin off....one step at a time..gotta finish hatching first...
well i have one more set to come up with this week...an get the fire going under my stragglers butts to get theirs done too..haha

well smooches for now!

hand cut and hammered copper "wing" charm

these were another experiment! I just love the look of metal jewelry. Again with no experience or time to take a class, i decided to play and see if i could come up with something acceptable. I first cut the tag shapes from a sheet of craft copper i had that i use for pin backs when i make my shadow box soldered pins. sanded the edges and corners, hmmered them to make them rustic looking, punched holes..i now knowi seriously need a cropodile if i am going to be punching any more metal. then i inserted the eyelets n then punched to word "wing" into each. then i aged them a bit with alcohol inks and to highlight the words..

faux silver clay charms for swap

I have always loved the look of silver clay, but ave not had the time to take a class to learn how to work with it. So, i got creative and tried my hand at creating the look with a silver polymer clay instead. I am thrilled with how these actually look..not exactly silver clay..but pretty darn close...
