I finished some Black and White Charms for a swap with Amber Dawn. Not my best work - I had a hard time with the resin i used. I coated both sides and let them dry days in between, but when I packed them into baggies and took them to LA with me to enclose on cards and put rings on then mail, some of them flattened a bit and lost the high gloss shine. They look ok, just not to my satisfaction. I also, for the life of me, could not get my hand to cooperate with opening the split rings I wanted to attach, so i just made steel rings and included a separate split ring so that swappers could attach it if they wanted to. The charms are 2 sided, mostly eyeballs and pregnant women, but a few other images are thrown in because the other eyeball ones had the epoxy distorted too much.
I also have some mica charms due soon, so i will plan them today and make them next weekend. I'll post when they are finished.
The Charms.....
Art Cards to go with them (yikes! sorry for the blur)

Hi Connie, how you doing in LA? Hope all is fine with you!
You commented on my blog a while ago and I have been too out of it to even search blogs. I have been reading yours today. You comented on my Tatting and I wanted to thank you for such kind words. Also I think this is an EXCELLENT tribute to your friend. the metal clay is some absolutely gorgeous work.
Yours
Mike.
