Altered Charm Swap Results - Pt I

I had so many requests to see the charms I thought I would start sharing them over the next few days. 

So here is the first installment....  

They are in no paticular order and I tried to describe them to the best of my guessing skills.  I hope that the makers will post and take a bow as there are some wonderful creations here!

ENJOY!!

"The Whimsical Wren" created an amazing assortment of charms....

There is a bit of metal, beads, wire, shrink plastic and many beautiful collage images.

as did Hecate (a.k.a. - KokiKokiCute)

These charms are so varied it's hard to list all of the goodies she used to create these charms.  There is wire, metal, glass vials, beads, shrink plastic, gears, photo turns, and much more!

Next we have Ink Pattie and her beautiful blue bird...

Made from I believe embossed/painted grunge board and highlighted with metallic rub-ons(?)

Julie created this beautiful metal flower from an orange soft drink (I think) cap, alcohol inks and glitter!

Andrea - one of our Aussie players

created this beautiful charm from assorted game pieces, beads and wire.

Next we have this great charm from Celina A. 

The main component was stamped clay!!!  How cool is that :)

Jennifer D (a.k.a. - darqueangel) made two sets of charms...the first set was  made using vintage images of children paired with TH Fragments and the second set was made from glittery label holders and assorted beautiful vintage images.

Caroline D. made two sets...the first being an awesome charm using a real penny which she hung a few pieces of shrink plastic Monopoly money from and the second set was a beautiful sea glass creation with various flower images decoupaged on the front.

Chelsea (a.k.a. - scrapyardbutterfly)

made a beautiful assortment of shrink plastic charms with butterflies!

Dixie (a.k.a. - Mom) made her rockin' charms using spoons, vintage women images and a few choice findings!



Brenda S. made 4 very different sets....
one set was a little book with a flower on the front; a resin filled charm with a tiny flower embedded inside; a set using various metal pieces hanging from way cool guitar picks and finally various charms all created using polymer clay!

Lori W. also made 4 sets of charms two of which had a distintive steampunk flair...a clock charm with a great patina, blue bead and fun gear; a Memory Glass charm that states "I am Steampunk" (which I am!!) with what I believe is a piece of shrink plastic gear; the next set is a clear bead wrapped with wire and has a hanging "crystal" and finally a glass vial with a bead hanging from the cap.

Vic's charms were all shrink plastic pieces in a variety of designs all hung with beads and wire.

This is the one I kept!

Connie B created two sets of charms...the first I like to think of "wish upon a star" is a beautiful string of beads with a sparklie star at the end and her other set is a nifty "Halloween-ish" (to me) skull charm!  Gotta love those red glitter-y eyes!

So there you go....

Pretty cool so far huh?

Lots and lots of great designs to inspire you.

Tomorrow I will post the second installment of goodness!
