Have been working on pins (its usually easier to sell these kind of things if there is an assortment for folks to choose from).
This one is entirely beads (those now famous size 15s -- I got in a new assortment of colors and its like having a new box of crayons!!).
It measures 2" each way -- kind of a fun, stylized heart.
This one measures just 1 1/8" by 1 1/4".
The piece of stone in the middle is jasper, and the back of this one has a lovely burgandy velour upholstry fabric on it.
And this one is actually a reworked piece.
Originally it was a lot larger and heart shaped on a silver chain as a necklace.
The rework included putting on a new combo style pin back that also has a loop to run a chain or ribbon through to wear the piece as a necklace. Nice touch (especially for a cameo).
This morning, while I was waiting for DH to get his lab work done in the doctor's office, I drew up another design to try out...I'm thinking about using pink and a kind of chocolate brown for this one.....probably will be an "on the road" piece.
That makes 44 arcs done. Yesterday afternoon I set up 17 more to take with us to work on in the car or the motel room at night.
We take off tomorrow to head for Des Moines, Iowa, to do the HeArt Fest show. We have never been in that area, but we hear this is a good show....we hope it will be.
Time to get moving, I need to pack and get everything ready to go so we'll be ready to load the car in the morning.
