I was a Vendor at the Grandma party Bazaar this weekend. It was my first time attempting to sell my jewelry and art. I learned a lot of lessons, in not only displaying but in the creation of my items - what people buy, and pricing them. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but my cousin did great. But like I said it was a great experience and I had a lot of lessons learned.

Bottle Cap Jewelry

The Inspiration:

How it Turned out:

I've been busy preparing for the Grandma party craft bazaar, which is this weekend, I've been collecting bottle caps for a while, and have probably over 100000 of them. So I wanted to create some jewelry that utilized them. I came up with this concept after seeing some ideas via pinterest and etsy.

My Christmas card for this year

It was a big year for me this year I bought a house and a new car, since I am independent from Daniel I figured it would be a perfect year for me to make a christmas card for me.

Sonic and Crew

Drooooid!

Zelda

I've been trying for a while to make a Zelda poster that fits my style. I finally was able to come up with something I like.

Nursing Necklaces

These are "Nursing Necklaces" I am making them for Natural Baby I've finally gotten into a good rhythm for making them, but I'm not going to lie, these are probably the biggest pain in the butt necklaces I've made, just because of the requirements associated with making them, and the difficulty in trying to find the right materials that are non toxic for babies.

These necklaces are not intended to be worn by babies, they are to be worn by moms during nursing to keep babies attention.
