Forgive me if I'm pleased with myself

I apologize if this sounds like bragging, but I am totally digging this new ring I made for myself! It's bright, it's bold, it's electric blue! It's wrapped in sterling silver wire and I love it!

Winter Wonderland EartPath Artisans Challenge

One of the Etsy Street Teams I'm a member of, EarthPath Artisans, is having a Winter Wonderland Challenge. It's a contest wherein team members create something conforming to the challenge theme, in this case Winter Wonderland.

We've had some truly amazing entries so far. This is mine.




This magnet celebrates the warmth of the joy of the season in the midst of the icy cold of winter. The ice blue theme is contrasted with the cheery word “joy.” The background on the inside is shiny silver paper covered with deep blue mesh material. A silvery embellishment surrounds the word “joy” on a lead-free pewter bead. White and blue acrylic gems complete the interior. Glittery silver snowflakes are stamped on the inside of the glass top.

The outside is wrapped with a deep blue ribbon to which are glued more white and blue acrylic gems.

The magnet is a round tin with a glass top with a heavy-duty magnet attached to the back.
It is 2” (5.8 cm) across and 1” (2.5) deep.
