I bought a pendant from your shop and I'm very excited! I was wondering though, how do you make your pedants? I love painting but I've never been very confident with more crafty stuff. Do you have a machine to shape them? Did you take classes?
I’m pretty muchall self-taught when it comes to jewelry. I started making things formyself, my friends and sisters way back in middle school and sincethen I've just been experimenting and figuring stuff out on my own.
The pendants arewood and I cut them out using a scroll saw, then sand them, drillholes, and paint them by hand with acrylic. I've always loved workingvery small so coming up with and painting all the tiny patterns is myfavorite part. And finally, they're sealed and strung on achain. (If you're interested in trying to make something similar, youcan often find pre-cut little wood shapes at the craft store that youcan paint and turn into pendants.)
And thank you somuch for your order- I just packaged up your necklace!
