Crafty Sunday

The girl and I spent some time crafting stuff today, though we're kind of learning as we go along when it comes to jewelry making. I found this owl charm and was playing around with it:

In the end, I decided to make a ring out of it after popping in some topaz colored crystals for the eyes:

The girl made these friendship necklaces--she just tied the ends to clasps, but I'm pretty sure we're supposed to be crimping them:

I took an old scrapbooking charm and made a necklace and found these coils that crimp around the cord and make for nice looking closures:

I think this is the finest piece of jewelry I've made yet.
