Magnets and More Cards

Posted on the 25 May 2012 by Elliesoo @EllieSooTweets
I was looking for something to send my penpals from Australia and Korea.. something Oregon related but nothing caught my eye, so I made them magnets. They are pictures of Oregon, from the coast to the capitol. I hope they like them. 

They're time consuming, but when they turn out it's worth every moment. Most people use scrabble tiles or glass tiles, but I like using different colored glass tiles. I have used clear glass but it's so hard to find flawless glass. 
Speaking of which, my friend is going to make glass pendants and I had a sneak peak (they look awesome). I will post a link to her work when she lists them on Etsy.
Here are some of the latest cards I've been working on:


I feel the end of the year pressures already. I just finished a wedding gift, am working on birthday gifts, retirement invitations, end of the year gift items, etc. I like being busy, but right now it is overwhelming. 
Well the holiday weekend is near. I am not going anywhere because gas is extremely expensive here (for some reason the west coast is a lot higher than everywhere else).
