patinamarie: Halloween Charm Exchange....

(my charm created from a section of wooden ruler, chain, beads, stamped mother-of-pearl bead, tulle, wire, solder and jump rings)

Join me today for a Halloween Charm Exchange Blog Hop.

Thespa of Vintiquities Workshop hosted the exchange.

Make 15 charms and receive 15 back.

The variety this year was very fun!

Skulls. Spiders. Love Potion. Eyes...and the list goes on...

I don't actually plan on making a charm bracelet to wear.

I'm more of a decorate-with-jewelry type of gal, so these will find a home on journals, bottles, and around my office as decor. They'll fit right in with my Nightmare Before Christmas theme!

Thanks everyone for participating and sharing your talents!

Happy Halloween.....

Heather Williams said...: Tina ~ What a great idea to use your charms in different projects! I'm going to do something a little different as well...I'm planning on adding mine to a handmade metal link chain that I will then hang in my window, as window jewelry. Thank you for sharing! ~H♥~

P.S. I didn't happen to receive one of your charms...however, I'm happy to see it here! :); November 1, 2012 at 4:40 PM
