Pendants, Collage Sheets, Jewelry Books…
Filed under Collage Sheets, Jewelry, Swaps
Basically: Jewelry. Jewelry to make, jewelry to buy, pretty picture books of jewelry… you get the idea.
I’ve designed a set of 4 exclusive collage sheets for Nunn Design (for their new line of pendants that were released at CHA last month). (“Exclusive” but you guys still get to buy them from me.) The new collage sheets have images sized for the existing cast pewter pendants, and new heart-shaped pendants.
Heart Pendants and Punches
Beautiful gold-, copper-, or silver-plated cast pewter heart pendants in 2 sizes. The large one is just over 2″ tall; the smaller one is almost 1-1/4″ tall. And both have matching paper punches!
Chains, Beads, Findings
Small Heart Charms
Beautiful gold-, copper-, or silver-plated cast pewter heart charms (solid, not hollow).
Fern Connectors
Used in the sample pendant at right by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel.
Chains — 2 Designs
Gold-, copper-, or silver-plated chains. Choice of 8″ (for bracelets) or 20″ (for necklaces… or whatever you wish).
New Glass Bead Page
Beautiful 8mm or 6mm imported Czech glass beads (in shades of red, caramel, copper, greens and blue). Sets of 4.
Bead Caps — 2 Designs
Finely detailed patterns: etched flowers and open filigree. Used in the sample pendant at far right by Design Team Member Keron Lee.
Finished Jewelry
In case you don’t want to make a pendant (or you’d like to mix a few you make with some you don’t), here are some fun, double-sided collaged pendants, framed with glass and encased in pewter. A variety of shapes and sizes (8 designs). There are also some delicate Sterling Silver Ball Chain Neckaces (finished necklaces with closures; 18″ long).
Jewelry Books
Three new books about making collaged jewelry:
Custom Cool Jewelry
“Create 200+ personalized pendants, charms and clasps.” A good present for anybody who likes making jewelry and has lots of bits and pieces.
Simple Soldered Jewelry & Accessories
“A Crafter’s Guide to Fashioning Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets & More.” This comprehensive guide takes beginners step-by-step through all the basics: glass cutting, working with copper foil, and the actual soldering itself.

“New Directions in Memory Jewelry.” Crafting a piece of collage jewelry is more than just a creative act; it can also be a very personal journey when the materials include precious keepsakes and mementos.
