New Pendant

At some point last week I finally checked my "handmadedanglies" email, and most of it was etsy stuff. I also get a crafting newsletter that eventually lead me to this:

Once I saw the pic for this pendant, I couldn't help myself. I had to make one!

After making google do some leg work for me, and looking at a bunch of pictures* I sat down to try and make my own. Turned out pretty good, it's a little lop-sided, but I'm working on that.

Here is my final product. (Sorry about the poor quality, I snapped the pic at work)



And here is the copper tree that I really like.

*I typed "tree of life pendant" into google, and clicked on "image" at the top of the page. It showed about 7 different hand-made pendants. I like most of them, and included the copper one, mainly cuz I think it's gorgeous.

Wedding Bells

In my last post, I mentioned that I was making the jewelry for a friends wedding. J&Y.

You can look at some of the pics that I posted yesterday on my regular blog.

Here are a couple pics of the other two bridesmaids, and the flower girl.

The lovely R and her set.

The beautiful I, and her set.

And A and her set.
(She decided to wear her own earrings)

It was awesome once I finallllly got ahold of the bride (I demanded her attention. Hehehe), and knew what she wanted. She pretty much let me do what I wanted, which was fun, and I experimented a lot before I decided on the final designs. I used a LOT of memory wire, which I thought was best for the bracelets (was going for a bangle look).

If you guys have any questions*, email me at: missakerkmann@gmail.com or convo me on my etsy page.
