New Work! E6000 Glue Project

I got out the glue this weekend and made some new jewelry using fossils and a geode slice from a gem and mineral show I shopped at last year (as well as a pretty aqua piece of seaglass). If you are thinking about making jewelry that requires glue, I highly recommend E6000.

There are zillons of different types of glue for sale--almost an entire aisle at my local craft store. When I first wanted to use glue for a jewelry project I did some research through forums of jewelry artists on Etsy and Flickr. Everyone came to the same conclusion--E6000 is the glue to use! After trying it, I absolutely agree! This is a seriously strong glue that I feel confident using to bond stones and glass to ring bases. I have also used it on plastic with great results. It dries clear and I am not strong enough to break the bond (I've tried!). One word of warning--E6000 smells terrible! Make sure you are outside or in a well-ventilated area!

I Love this Shop! MermaidsBaubles on Etsy

In today's travels through Etsyland, I came across MermaidsBaubles for the first time and absolutely fell in love with this "young" Etsy shop (only on Etsy since December'08). The designs in this shop are all ocean inspired and incorporate seaglass and shells into lovely jewelry and accessories. It was difficult to pick a favorite, but I'm leaning toward the pinkish seashell hairpin pictured here :)

Make sure to take a moment to check out this fantastic shop and explore!

Holy SeaGlass!! (Thanks Mom!)

Earlier this year my parents visited Grand Turk, and my Mom came home with a ton of sea-glass for me to use in my jewelry designs! I've selected a few of my favorite pieces to make into pendants--stay tuned to see what else I can create with this treasure trove :)
