Glass Bullets??

I asked one of the guys at work to get me some bullet casings. He brought me a big bag of them. He was wondering if I could put a piece of glass in one of them to make a glass bullet. I never thought of doing this but thought I’d give it a try. This is what I came up with.

I added the brass loops on the tops because I’m thinking they aren’t of any use unless they can hang from something. I also cut the last one down to make it look like a cabochon is stuck in there. These are still in the experimental stages. Still trying to figure out the best way to do them.

Happy Holidays!!

Okay so this isn’t a very good Christmas picture but it’s the only thing I finished today.

I also took this with a brand new camera. I was really testing it when I took this picture. The camera is one of those cheap point and shoot ones and I didn’t have any hopes that it would take a good close up but it did alright.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!

Buttons

My cousin’s quilt club wants some buttons to sell at their quilt show. These are a few samples I’m going to give her to show the coordinator. Hopefully they will want to buy some.

They will get to see them in person which is better than this picture taken with my broken camera. Can you tell I’m miffed because I broke my camera?

Turtles!!

A whole army of ninja turtles!! A gal that stopped by my booth at the craft show saw my push pins and asked if I could make a few turtles in different colors and to make them into lapel pins. She wanted 8 to be exact. I asked her what colors she wanted and was all set to make them. Got them almost all done when I got a voicemail from her, now she wants 30 of them in different colors and I have until next August to get them done. What could I say? Course, I don’t want to drag an order out several weeks so I got them all done, ready for delivery. There are more than 30, just wanted her to have more to pick out of. I’m sure I can use the rest as the turtle push pins seemed to be the most popular.

I have the backs in another package. I didn’t know how to display them so she could see them all at once with the backs on them.

Where Have I Been???

It seems like forever since I posted anything. I got done with my last craft show but still have some custom orders to finish up. These are a few things I made to sell at the craft show, just getting a chance to put them up now.
