Tinkering...

I found a tutorial online on how to make Washer Necklaces. I was reading the directions, wishing I could do something like this...especially after drooling over Lisa Leonard's fabulous designs...then I remembered my rad Aunt Karen bequeathed me a Steel Stamping Set awhile back...I've held onto it for awhile now, and thank goodness I did! I have now found one more thing I can make for people ;) (Cause I know you ALL love getting handmade stuff from me, it just brightens your day...doesn't it.....DOESN'T IT...yes it does). Of course, I learned you can't use your kitchen table or your tile to hammer on...so I took the project outdoors to the concrete, which scuffs up the back pretty bad! Yikes! So, I've got to come up with something to deter that.

So much fun! Now I just need to find the material so I can make tags! Love it.

Those are so cute! You may have a money maker on your hands. I paid $50 for one similar to that with all of my kids names on it. As a matter of fact- can I get you to make Chloe one and I'll pay you?

Those are so super cute! Have you tried using an old 2x4 to bang on? It's a good shock absorber.
...and I would buy one from you too! You could totally have a store for all your handmade cuteness!

You REALLY need to start an Etsy store or something. I just paid $60 for something similar (a ring from www.nellandlizzy.com). I love it, of course, but would have felt better paying you for it! :-)

That website is great, Cheree....Those rings are fantastic!! I wonder how they do them?!
