New Custom Items in Glass




Since I have started working with Glass Tiles - I decided to expand upon my custom photo line and make them with the glass tiles. I started with a fun magnet set that would make a great gift. The listing in my shop is for 4 magnets - but I can do as many as you would like. They would also make great party favors. I can use a photograph or image of any kind.

I used the same size tile to create a pendant using a sterling silver bail. The size is a little bit smaller than my polymer clay pendants which makes it perfect for someone who likes their pendants a bit smaller and more understated. I think it is also a little more elegant and can be worn with a dressier outfit.

I can do these in color, Sepia or Black & White. I am more than happy to crop any photos or enhance them. Please take a look here in my shop to find these and more custom items.

Bringing back those wonderful Etsy Artists

I have started working with several Etsy Artists again - which thrills me to no end :) I just love collaborating with such wonderful artists. I am using their images on both my polymer clay and glass tile pendants. I am still working on a bunch and will be listing them daily. Here is a sampling of what I have so far. Please visit the Artist's Shops to see more of their great work (Links are below each photo)

Ashley Spatula


Vusova


Christina Perdue


Zephi


Invisible Fountain

I will be adding more photos as I make some more pendants - I am working on a bunch more and cannot wait to share them - please check back soon :)

More Copycats


Once again it saddens me that there are dishonest people out there just trying to make a buck. 2 more sellers on Etsy who have purchased my tutorial have decided that it is OK to take this and run with it. They may have changed the words a bit and used their own pictures - but it is basically the same. Unfortunately, it is beyond my control and there is not much I can do about it. It has happened to other sellers on Etsy as well -and I think it is just horrible that people feel like they are doing absolutely nothing wrong. It must be nice to have no feelings of remorse for being a dishonest person and basically a thief. I know this will not be the last time this happens - but I hope that if you read this and you are one of these people or you are thinking of doing this - please think twice before you do this. You are ultimately stealing from someone. If you did not find this information out from my tutorial you would not be able to write your own. Does that make sense to you? It is wrong - completely wrong.

Another New Item


Introducing another new item from Analiese Designs - Glass Tile Pendants. I always want to try new things and I have to say I love making these almost as much as the polymer clay pendants - they have a totally different look to them and I like them better than the scrabble tile pendants I tried. I can use a variety of images and papers that really show nicely through the glass. The tiles are nice and smooth on the edges - no chances of cuts :) I bought the tiles on Etsy and used scrapbook paper and my own images. The glass is adhered to the top of the paper and I sealed the back with clear acrylic gloss. Each pendant is finished with a sterling silver plated bail - or in one case - a hand made wire bail. I have lots more to list - so stay tuned.

I have grouped all my pendants together into different categories - such as birds and flowers or black and white.

Purchase any 3 pendants and you will receive a free silver ball chain to hang them from -they can easily be interchanged with the chain.

I am always adding new items - so please visit my shop daily :)

New Items from Analiese Designs


I can never be happy doing just one thing - so I am introducing a couple of new items as well as bringing back some old ones. The first new item I have in my Etsy shop is pocket mirrors. These have been made using some images I created myself and have done on Pendants. They are super cute and make a great gift as they come in a black velvet pouch. Check out my shop to see my selection of pocket mirrors.

My other new item is Scrabble (tm) tile Pendants that I recently learned how to make from Littleput on Etsy by buying her tutorial. They are a lot of fun and allow me to use paper in new ways. Stay tuned for more as I do some experimenting :)

My Strawberry Picking earrings are an old standby that I bring back every summer. They are fun to wear and perfect with any outfit. You can find more of my handcrafted jewelry along with some Vintage Jewelry right Here

Thanks and have a great day :)
