Hook Line & Sinker

You know me I didn't just set down to my torch and make one fish yesterday, I made 6 of them and they all turned out nice so here is what I did with the rest of them.  You can't tell well in these photos but they are hanging from a fish hook and the necklace has a fish hook closure.

Little Lure Charms 

Purse Charms

I have been asked several times in the past few months if I make purse charms.  To tell you the truth I didn't even know what they were so after a photo search I decided that they were kinda a fun item so I sat down to the torch yesterday with an idea.  Often times what happens when I sit at the torch is the idea somehow gets lost and they never go any further.  What came out of the kiln today was quite amazing, I stayed on task and actually had pieces to make the purse charm that I had in my head.  I could never sell these because charging $50.00 -$80.00 for a purse charm isn't going to go over very well with my usual customer.  I am now the proud owner of a beautiful purse charm made with 24 of my glass beads.  Since I made this to lure people to ask me about my jewelry I thought it fitting that it be a fish on a hook :)
