Simply Charming

These are some charms that I made for a charm swap that I am in. I made them by melting some UTEE in my melting pot and added some gold pearl x powder to it. I dipped the stones in the UTEE and then sprinkled them with some glittler and added the small stone to it. After they cooled I wrapped the wire around them and heated them again so the wire would stick to the UTEE(ultra thick embossing powder). They look prettier than the picture.
I still so sad today about the loss of the young girl's life that I posted about yesterday. Such a waste!
I joined in on Daisys Poetry fest. This month we were to post the poems that we loved as children. I picked Shel Silverstein's poems. Please go check out all the wonderful poems at her site. I hope everyone has a great Thursday!!!

The charms are great! I love them! The wire wrapping is the icing on the cake. Another form of art that you do so good.

Beth,
I love your charms. I think they look great in the picture, but I know what you mean, as I never think beaded stuff looks very good in the photos after I've seen it in real life.

I heard about the missing girl in Kansas being found and had been concerned about her for the time she was missing. It is heart rending.

I have never heard of this process and find it absolutely fascinating! Your charms are absolutely amazing.

The poor girl, my heart hurt when I read that story.
