NEW ITEMS - GLASSES, PURSE, & KEYS

NEW ITEMS!!
Eyeglass Holders and Purse Key Hangers
These are pretty handy for those who take their glasses on and off frequently throughout the day.  They come in chrome, gun metal, and gold (not shown). They are magnetic (strong earth magnet) so they won't damage clothing and can go anywhere on your clothing you would like. 


They can be paired up with the purse key hanger in the same finish to make a nice gift set...



The purse key hanger hangs over your purse like so...


The centers have been embellished with textured clay. 

These items can be placed in the oven with the clay to cure or the clay can be formed, cured, and then attached to the metal with some jewelry glue.  Personally, I place the entire piece in the oven to cure the clay.  Then, once cured and cooled, I do my darndest to get the clay to come away from the metal (what you wouldn't want to happen during use!)  If I can't get it to come off...it's likely not coming off.  If it comes off with some aggressive prompting...I add some jewelry glue (made to work on metal) and put the clay medallion back in place.  It's now sure to stay put!  It is easier to add texture if you cure the clay while it's attached to the item.


These items are available on my Etsy site...

PINS



PINS


A few pins made from some scrap clay. The shape is configured and finished on all sides and cured.   Then a pin back is added (using an adhesive like bake & bond or liquid clay) then covered with some more clay (here is where I add my "signature" stamp) and baked again.  

Below is a pin that matches a set of clip on earrings and a fun colorful pin.
Just about anything can be made into a pin.  The pin backs come in different sizes.  These are small.
