EtsyMetal Charm Swap 13 - Slowly but surely!

As our due date passes, many of us are still furiously creating and trying to finish our charms.  It was a busy winter and time sometimes gets away from us...myself included.  Many charms arrived and several are very close to being finished.  Here is this weeks update on progress and several finished, shipped, and arrived charms.

The piggie butts, doll arms, lucky pennies, and hand engraved feather charms have arrived safely to our Charm Manager!
L. Sue Szabo
Quench Metalworks

Nina Gibson Designs
Nodeform


These are freshly finished & on their way!

CitiZen Objects



Amuck Design

The following are so close to being finished!  Can't wait to see them completed!



Based on a rune symbol, Laney of Silent Goddess has etched these beautiful little ancient symbols in brass.

 Taking a poll from fellow charm swappers, Renee of Panicmama Jewelry decided on a shiny finish but a lone oxidized one still made the bunch!

Stay tuned to see more previews of charms next week!

THIS MONTH'S TOPIC:

Art or Craft?
What are your thoughts on what is considered art or craft? Does the value lie in the process, technical ability, monetary value, meaning, lack of meaning...?



Read and see what some of our members think. You are welcome to make comments and ask questions! Enjoy.
