while I wait

The silver clay still isn't here, so I made a few more spoon pendants while I waited. My grandparents are visiting this weekend, my granddad sat and watched me make these. He had many suggestions for me: my pendants should be listed for around $500 (if only), I should make them shiner, I should try making rings (which I am planning on doing actually), and I should invest in more tools to make my work easier. I finally got to give him his x-mass gift, a sterling dulcimer pick:



He loved it, seems to work pretty well too. I might make up a few more of these to put in my store, not exactly jewelry but it could be worn as a pendant or put on a keychain and it would be a great gift for guitar players. I gave my grandmother this piece I made for her:



She was very moved, said it melted her heart. These are the first items I've ever made for them come to think about it. Here's the bracelet I made yesterday too:



My mom was nice enough to model it for me. Added it and one of the pendant I made today to my store, can't wait till I have the materials to work on more.
