Comic Book Pendants

We all know a few of these types...the Mr. Know-it-all!


A funny pendant to wear on one of your YAY days! :)


This kissing couple pendant I listed on Dawanda the other day! I thought that I would see if I have any luck selling it on there! It seems that etsy is getting so HUGE that things don't get noticed as much as they used to! When I first started selling on etsy, it seemed that right away after listing, an item would have 20+ views. Items now only seem to get about 10 views right after listing it. I guess I'll just have to see what happens on Dawanda...it can't hurt to get my stuff out there in another market place!

New Pendants!

I ordered some new glass beads the other day, and I just couldn't wait to get something made from them! These glass beads are about 1.25" round and they are flat on both sides. The other large glass beads that I was using was flat on one side and a round dome on the other side. I was buying my old beads from the floral / wedding section of Hobby Lobby and in each sack would be only a few that I could actually use. Lots of them had scratches, nicks, or were iodized. I am loving the new beads because they have no scratches, nicks and they are non-Iridized. Well anyways...here are three charms that I made with the new glass.





P.S. If you are interested in purchasing any of these pendants they are available for sale in my etsy shop~ www.lanisvintage.etsy.com

My Creative Space

Here is the place where I go to create. It is a little room in my basement that I made into my studio!



I just love the feel of the room with the light green walls (my favorite color)! I especially love my 50's retro desk, file cabinet, and tables...I got all four pieces for $1 each!



When I am in my studio creating I like to listen to Sirus Radio Top 40 hits, Sirus the Pulse, or just watch a favorite TV show!





Here is where I solder my charms~



My German glass glitters...stored in a old spice rack~



I'm off now to create more goodies! :)

Love Night Light *New Design*

Here is my latest soldered night light...it is a new design!





Everyone needs a night light. So don’t get just any old light, get a light that will not only do the job it will also look good while doing it! This little light that I made would be charming in any room!

I printed this image on my HP printer. The image is encased between two pieces of glass (3" X 2.5") and then soldered (with a lead free solder). This sweet light looks really cute when lit up (the picture does not do it justice). This little night light will come in a clear gift box like the one shown in the photo below, it is ready to give as a gift!



I also have more designs for night lights, if you would like to see any of the others just let me know and I can make another one for you! I will be adding more designs soon! Thanks for looking! ;)

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A STOCK PHOTO YOUR NIGHT LIGHT MIGHT VARY SLIGHTLY**

Yay...I'm on Indie Parade!


I found out about a wonderful site Indie Parade from a really fun blog that I read called Tizzalicious www.tizzlovescrafts.blogspot.com. The other day she shared that two of her wonderful pieces got listed on Indie Parade...so I thought that I would give it a try. I submitted a little soldered charm. The one that I submitted did not get in, but my soldered cherry pendant on a red ribbon cord got on! :) Indie Parade is a really cool site...you should check it out www.indieparade.com.
