My main reason for choosing some Twilight themed jewellery was that my friend is a Huuuuuuuge fan of the Twilight films, and her birthday was coming up. I love giving people something special, memorable, and something that others don't have. She is also a passsionate jewellery maker, so this piece had to be extra impressive, as I imagine she will be judging me on my skills! I hope this piece is just perfect for her.
These scrabble tile earrings are also my first earrings I have made from these tiles. I have been asked by a few people if I can make them into earrings, and here they are! This means I can now use my tiles for necklaces, bracelets, keyrings, earrings and wine glass charms.
For all of you new followers here is a little bit about my tiles. All the scrabble tiles are made from vintage wooden scrabble tiles that are imported from America. I also buy the artwork from the USA as unfortunately I don't yet have the graphic design skills to create my own. {One day I hope to!} I then cut, attach, and file the images onto the tile, and glaze {By hand} the tile to create a raised, glass like finish. A bail is attached to the back, where the original scrabble tile letter is also visible.
I am now completely addicted to making these tiles, and I now have 4 racks, 1 box, 1 ring display box, and 4 necklace busts full of ones ready to go to their new homes! I also stock a local art and gift shop and I often have comments from local people in the village saying how much they love them. I am so glad I started this new venture, I am also busy making sock monkeys, which when I have finished them I will post them here too.
