St Michael and Virgin Mary Pendant

This double-sided glass pendant features an image of the Theotokos Virgin Mary and Christ Child on one side and St Michael the Archangel on the reverse.

This pendant is 1.5" square, 3" long including the dangles and bail.  One of the dangles is a vintage Virgin Mary medal and the other is a two-dimensional image of St Michael. 

I have taken a more rustic approach with the silvery lead-free solder used to seal it, thus making it appear ages old. It is not waterproof and should not be worn while swimming or bathing. Clean with any dry silver polishing cloth. It will come with a simple 16-19" necklace or you can choose to have a custom beaded necklace made for it.  Size:  1.5" x 1.5" pendant, 3" long with the dangles and bail.

Value: pendant only, $18, with necklace,  $28.

Rings are my favorite piece of jewelry to create, buy and wear.  The most unique aspect of my rings – and a favorite feature of my customers – is that they are woven on strong elastic for durability and ease of wear.   They are very light and comfortable, and are a great option for those who suffer from arthritis.

One person will win one ring for a total of three giveaways!

Ring #1 – Tagua nut focal surrounded by golden red seed beads and round, gold-filled beads -- Value: $14

Ring #2 – Decorative, metal bracelet slide surrounded by charlotte seed beads and square metal beads --Value: $12

Ring #3 – Swarovski crystal bracelet slides surrounded by charlotte seed beads -- Value $19

VIRTUAL CRAFT SHOW



I can't believe it... I have actually signed up for my first Craft Fair/Show!  Well, okay, the Show is actually on the web, but it's still a great way to start off my new venture of selling my hand-made items.  The Craft Show will be November 26 to December 3 and will be hosted by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things.

So, be ready.  Tell your friends.  Have your credit cards at hand. There's going to be a Craft Show with lots of amazing people showing off their Holiday Best for sale.  All items will be hand crafted so be prepared to get all your Christmas shopping done over that 8 day period and also to drool (have a napkin or hand towel ready!) as you see what these creative people I'll be rubbing virtual elbows with can do! (you may have to buy yourself some Christmas presents ~heehehehe~)
