Husker Football Jewelry - Red Shell Earrings with Charm

HUSKER FOOTBALL JEWELRY AVAILABLE from Creative Soul Designs!

Here's my first item:

Small silver football charms attached to a round red shell make these the perfect earrings to wear to the game, or just on game day!

Status: Available, Very Limited Run - approximately 3 pairs

Cost: $10 + $2 shipping in the U.S.

These earrings measure just under 1 1/2" including the earwire, or just over 3/4" an inch without the earwire. These will be a limited run, based upon the few red shells that I have. I will also be making more with these same charms, with various red beads attached above the charm connecting it to the earwire. Contact me if you are interested, via email here or PM me on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/creativesouldesigns. 

COMING SOON:  A Paypal button for direct purchase. Your item will be hand crafted and mailed within 3 business days. If you are local, you may not have to pay the shipping price if we can easily meet in person.

I'll also be making Team Red bracelets and necklaces with various Husker sayings as well, so keep checking back! And as always I will take requests for custom items, just let me know!

Meanwhile: GO BIG RED!

Dichroic Fused Glass Earrings with Copper Earwire

These rectangular Dichroic Fused Glass earrings hang from genuine copper earwires and have a small forest green glass seed bead on the bottom and a clear Czech glass seed bead on top. Pretty! $10

Long Copper Hand Hammered Red Painted Earrings

These are gorgeous and stunning!

These long hammered copper earrings measure 2 1/2" long x 1 cm wide. I painted them with one coat of red acrylic (for metals) across, letting some of the natural patina of the copper show through slightly. I used gold plated earwire. These are stunning! Definitely a statement piece, but not too "loud;" geometric shapes in jewelry are really in right now and these are truly gorgeous! I can make them in a different color to customize for you if you'd like; I can also paint both sides if you prefer. The left photo shows the front, and the right photo shows the back sides which are the original color. Very Mod! $10

Candles I Made

I have several molds and used to make candles all the time before I started making jewelry. Especially fun was the pink "lace" candle on the left. Ice and a milk carton and melted wax, and voila! I didn't make these baskets, although I have figured out how to make the one below and plan to make some and sell them in my Etsy store. 

Display of Bath and Body Items

Here's a small grouping I did of some of my toiletries to show off the basket I painted, and the soaps and candle I made.

Cards Made into a Tree

This is a copied idea, actually. A friend of my mom's made this and I decided to copy it. You just take a long wooden dowel and carve a hold in a square piece of wood for a stand. Take the tops of greeting cards (typically Christmas, but it could be any card) and punch a hole about an inch from the short bottom edge. Curl the top corners over and staple them together, then slip each one over the dowel until you reach the top. You can put a star or whatever you want at the top. Makes a nice table-top Christmas tree, and you get to keep the cards as well.

I'm thinking of doing this on a grand scale into a full sized tree for the living room this year. I'd just stack several cards over each other on the bottom and graduate it toward the top, but would probably use the heavier cards toward the base and then lighter, litho cards on the edges and/or on top, or even make the entire thing with colored paper. It would be cool to have all different colors with maybe a hint of glitter. Instead of ornaments, you could hang flowy ladder or eyelash yarn. Only problem would be where to store it the rest of the year!

I was feeling patriotic this weekend and fabric covered a small book of recipes I hand wrote:
