Stamped and soldered glass tiles - set of 5

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:12:26 -0500

$3.00
Once upon a time, I thought I would get into soldering jewelry. I took a class with Beckah Krahula and made these tiles.
They're stamped and "embossed" with metal powder using her technique which ensures a permanent bond. The soldering... I'm not so sure! I do remember I used leaded solder.
I never even bought a soldering tool, so I have no way to link these together for the bracelet they were meant to be. Maybe you do? Or... they might be part of another project.

The glass color is a turquoise blue. The stamped design is silver or pewter color.
Each tile measures 1" (26 mm) square, 2.5 mm thickness

--YOU'LL RECEIVE ALL FIVE (5) SHOWN--

Check back again; I think I may have more tiles (blank) somewhere around here...

Penguin Salt and Pepper Shakers

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:11:42 -0500

$10.00
Two ceramic, penguin salt and pepper shakers...

Salt and pepper?
Or pepper and pepper?
Or maybe salt and salt?

These penguins are identical except for the markings on the bottom. They may be from different sets. I'm not sure...

I'm also unsure of the age.
My guess would be 1950s....
They do have some scratches and marks.
I like to think they were enjoyed by someone who loves penguins as much as I do.

All I know is they are from Japan.
Handpainted.
Measure just under 3 inches tall (9 cm)
What looks like the original corks are inside.

Vessel of Endless Possibilities (glass vase thing)

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:11:24 -0500

$2.50
What COULD you do with this glass vessel?
Cover it with polymer clay...
Wrap it in macrame`...
Cover it or fill it with beads...
Use it to grow a plant...
Put a secret message inside and close it with a cork...
Make a wire stand to hold it...

I'm sure there are more possibilities. I can't remember what I had in mind when I bought it, but I bought several. So let's see what YOU can come up with!

[NOTE: The bottom is not flat, so it can't stand on its own.]

Measures 7.5 inches tall (19 cm)
The "globe" section has an outside circumference of 12 inches (30.5 cm)
and the neck section is approx. 3.5 inches (9 cm)
(a regular tealight candle will fit inside the neck but not beyond).

The interior is etched/"frosted" and the top rim is somewhat rough (but not sharp enough to cut you with casual handling).

Partridge in a Pear Tree vintage ceramic ornaments

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:12:56 -0400

$3.00
These were part of my husband's aunt's collection from the 70s, and I believe she must have painted them herself.
The top is white (one side is slightly shiny; the other is more matte), and the bottom part is brown.

I think these would be pretty with gold rubbed into the crevices and tied with a nice bow.
