I have been making charms today - some of them I am not sure about.
I don't like sending anything out that I would not be happy to receive myself - so please help me to decide which ones are sent and which ones should not. I have enough time to make some more and these were my first attempt.
1
These are close ups and much bigger than the charms themselves as the charms are less than an inch square
2 and 3
These are highly magnified!
Stamped into and painted
4
These have been made out of Friendly Plastic and painted
5
Melted and poked about a bit
They look very shiny in real life
Like black polished pebbles
6
With the exception of the leaves the backs are all this pattern
Sorry about the glare reflection - its shiny and difficult to capture.
7
Roll, squashed, poked about and painted
8
Same method but no two are the same
9
I am not too keen on this one - so I think it will be rejected
I did the veining with a pokey tool and it looks a bit thick
10
The charms are going on a silver bracelet
11
As before, squashed and poked
12
Extra painting
13
Unlucky for some - this is headed for the bin I think
14
I copied a dried seed pod- think it didn't translate too well
Maybe I need to paint the pod in the middle - pod colour!
15
I enjoyed making this one - but now that it is enlarged a great deal - it looks like a beheaded beetle's belly with a six pack!
That's it for now folks.
Please leave a comment on the ones that are rejects. I really do truly want to know - and I have plenty of time to make some more.
Thank you
