My day off, so in between laundry, bills, and picking up, I worked on an etched and stamped pendant for a friend.
Etching gives you the ability to draw your design. Since this design is rather small, my bifocals really helped. Sometimes I even slip a pair of cheapo reading glasses on my nose along with my bifocals!! That's when my DD calls me "Six-eyes". LOL!
Here's my hand holding the pendant so you can see the size. Yes, my hands are beat up from the jewelry making! I use them as tools, instead of pampering them.
Bless you all, my dear friends. And continue to pray.

I love this! How did you learn this technique of stamping and etching?
By the way, I love that you said, "beads, yum". It's nice to know I'm not alone. It seems like that phrase comes to my mind quite a bit! Have a great evening!
Your DH is as special as mine is isn't he? Bet he supports you like mine does? I praise God for my loving and supportive husband. I surely did not deserve him. But God knew I needed him and would love him always~
This little pendant is so special. I know how you feel ~ sometimes when a piece is completed. Pure bliss!!!!
that is beautiful and you are so talented....... and I have been in screen print for years and it has taken a toll on my hands also but we are artist and it is ok............ they are part of your personality.............
