<p>For the past few months I&#8217;ve been really focused on making and selling my pendants.  In fact I&#8217;ve even launched a new line of pendants, <a href="http://yumyumpendants.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/yumyumpendants.com');">YumYumPendants!</a> Definitely make sure to swing by the site and check everything out.  There are tons of cute designs and I plan on continuing to expand and add more.</p>

<p>So the jewelry has really been my main focus of late, and I hope you guys enjoy it!  I should have some new art-stuffs up here soon.  I just added a ton of new <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/steel?section_id=6104729" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.etsy.com');">postcard designs</a> to my <a href="http://steel.etsy.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/steel.etsy.com');">Etsy shop</a> &#8211; They look fantastic framed.</p>

So I  made a few BIG pendants last week.  These ones are all one of a kind because you&#8217;ll actually be wearing the original watercolor illustration around yer neck.  I&#8217;m having fun doing the little teensy paintings.  I haven&#8217;t worked this small probably since I stopped doing ACEOs a couple of years ago.
