Show and Tell: New Jewellery

When I get into a new crafting experience I really fall head over heels and it's hard to hold me back.  Case in point, my new jewellery "collection".

I went a little overboard.

I started out by playing with my new molds from Mold Muse, and then I started making my own molds, and then I was officially obsessed.  Everything is double baked and many of the pieces are triple glazed.  It gives the clay a sort of opaque resin look that I like.

My friend is going to take some for her little shop but it's consignment and it's sort of out of the way so I don't expect to make loads of sales there.

I'm hemming and hawing over putting some in my shop on Etsy.  Etsy is really so much more work than everyone lets on.

I even made buttons!

I guess I could just have a new bauble to wear every week of the year!

At least I have a head start on a few home made Christmas gifts.  What do you think?  Should I put them in the shop?  Should I do a giveaway?  Any other ideas????

I hope you've entered the Big Plaid Giveaway because today is the last day to enter.  It's a wonderful prize pack that any crafter would love to get!  Go check it out~

    Etsy! I was just looking (seriously - like an hour ago!) at a green cabachon necklace just like the one in your photo above. Love it!
