Brand New Glass Charms ~ Tiny Moments To Take Along!

I'm happy to introduce to you: brand new Art Charms ~ Tiny Moments To Take Along...

These are the Art Charms born from the previously conceived idea, but reinvented in GLASS!

Mini images of original paintings, adhered to smooth lozenges of glass ~ painted in shimmery gold, then glazed for a glass-like appearance, protective seal and durability.

Finished with a Stainless-Steel plated bail ~

they are ready for the strand, chain, hemp, cord of your choosing.

They are gorgeous, shiny, shimmery and smooth.

Lovely, and each is hand-crafted, by me!

They aren't perfectly waterproof, so you'll want to be on the safe side with water, baths, hottubs and of course due to their yummy smoothness, we'll want to keep them away from young children and babies.

These Glass Art Charms are now available at The Uncommon Gift in Camas Washington as well as a couple available in the Etsy Shop at http://www.kmberggren.etsy.com/

Let me know what you think of them!

Believe (above) is also now on display at The Uncommon Gift in Camas Washington!

The Free Cards Friday winner for last week is Aleisha! Thanks for playing!

Love & Sincerely,

Katie
