Tiny Weenie Queenie Crowns

Long live the Queen!  Hope you are having a wonderful Friday.  I thought I'd throw up a few photos of what I've been up to lately.  Don't you love crowns?  I sure do, so many of the charms contain a crown image.  The Marie Antoinette charm is as small as I could get it at 3/8"x 5/8".  That's pretty small to solder.  :)  The Halloween Queen is embellished with black Swarovski Rhinestones.  I love the way they glimmer in low light.
The crown above has a tiny Swarovski Crystal glued directly to the glass.  I just love the crown image, and I got it from The Graphics Fairy.  She has some wonderful images on her website to check out.
Here are the backs of the charms.  I dusted the middle crown with a little pixie dust, oh I mean glitter.
Some other tinies.  The little girl is 1/2x1/2 inches.
Here are the backs.  I think of myself as a vintage chick.
After making some black and white Halloween charms, I went ahead and experimented with black and white flowers.  Here are just the images on paper, and the charm wrapped in foil before it's soldered.  I like the way the images are so soft and feminine.  

I sure do hope you have a wonderful weekend, and don't forget all us gals are really Queens right? 
 Take care,
XO Martha

Meeting Rosemary



Over the weekend I was able to travel up North to Ventura and meet fellow blogger Rosemary. (That's Rosemary wearing one of her crowns, and I'm holding one of her gorgeous magical wands, which sold quickly afterwards).  A few months back I was reading her blog and noticed some of my charms in one of her photos.  It ends up she sells to the same shop in Ventura!  It was great meeting her, she's so cute and her creations are selling really well.  Check out Rosemary's blog for just a sampling of some of her work.  She makes crowns, cones, wands, gift boxes and even tags!  It was so fun to meet another lady with a passion for creating.  That's one reason I love blogs so much.  You are able to meet others from all over the country and world with similar interests.  So, I enjoyed meeting you Rosemary, and we'll have to get together again soon!  
Take care,
Martha
