Oh...Hi there!

The last couple days have been nice and busy! First off....I got feet! My darling little baby feet have come in and I'm going feet crazy on a lot of pieces. Also, birthstones are being added to the stamped metals. Not dangling from their own charm, but actually attached to the metal giving it a solid look.

I've been playing around with designs for I Am The Face pieces which includes the four hearts. I came up with an awesome way to fill in the top heart without completely pushing it all down. I'll be uploading it tomorrow, so be sure to check back.

Here is a recently customized piece without the birthstone


And here it is with the birthstone


It's an Aquamarine birthstone so it isn't the brightest in colour, but trust me, it looks fantastic. I can't wait to put some darker ones on. I'm especially in love with blue, so I might have to end up using some Sapphires for myself ;-)

On a side note: Faces of Loss is almost to it's 2000 faces goal! Also there are some wonderful products being put out to support them. Be sure to visit Facesofloss.org and view all the stories and items available for purchase to help raise awareness and support.

Remember to check back tomorrow to see my totally awesome new designs! I'm still busy with custom orders, but I like to slip in a "break" to make up some special designs to put out.

New Products With New Font

I came up with a few new things tonight and I really love them. One of them I couldn't get a picture of because, well, I have been using my camera a bit too much. The battery finally died on me.

Anywho! I am in complete love with my new lowercase fancy font. It's so much fun to use and so beautiful. I decided to use the fancy font with the uppercase font on the "Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope" pendant.



This one is a personalized flower I made for someone who has had two losses. Because they were early in their pregnancy no names were picked out and this is a simple tribute to them.





This is a cute little square that can have a dangling birth stone or small charm. The lowercase fancy font fits perfectly on it.



I went a little outside what I normally do and created a textured top to the washer. The picture didn't come out like I wanted, but I still think it's beautiful. It, like the square, can have a birth stone or charm hanging in the middle.





These are all so much fun to create! Thank you to everyone for your custom orders! It means a lot to me to help make you something that you can hold and love forever.

Personal Example

I created a copper Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope pendant for myself with Noah's name and birth-date.

I used UPPER for the outside and fancy for his name. I think it turned out beautifully. I'm going to put it on the same necklace as my "i am the face" pendant.



Also, here are creations 4, 5 and 7 from my party list!

New font? Oh yeah!

I now have three fonts you can mix, match or have solo!

Fancy, lowercase and upper case are now offered!




There are also, currently, two design stamps offered. A star and a heart. I also have the period for dates or decoration. Monday the baby feet will be used in new products.

Unfortunately the feet cannot fit with anything else on this disc. If you'd like, though, the feet can be put onto a separate disc (3/4 size disc) and can sit next to or over the main pendant.

Also, the main discs can be sterling silver, nickel silver, copper and brass. Feel free to e-mail any ideas you have! The first several I create will be used as a "display" on Etsy unless you otherwise request it. I will make sure it's cleared with you first!

If you're interested, please e-mail me at NoahsArkCreations@yahoo.com

I almost forgot to mention, it has been cleared with Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope: I Am The Face organization for me to create these. Also, $5 of the purchase of this necklace will go directly to Faces of Loss as a donation.

A Work In Progress

I'm working on creating a variety of creations for I Am The Face through Faces of Hope, Faces of Loss.

There will be several options and right now, here's the basic of them. There isn't anything in the middle yet because I just wanted to be sure of how it would look. So far, I think it's beautiful. What do you think?

It's OCTOBER!

Can you believe it's already October!? I can't. That means we're that much closer to the biggest candy day on earth. Ok, I'm a candy hog. What can I say? I love candy.

Anyway, back to my main point about October, it's also Breast Cancer Awareness and October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

These two events are why I have come out with my awareness pieces. I have created necklaces and earrings with the pink ribbons and beautiful sterling silver stamped metals. For NPILA I created stamped pieces saying "I Am The Face". Next week there will also be new pieces that go along with the main group I Am The Face is through.

I wanted to get into the I Am The Face pieces because this subject hits home for me. I have had one chemical pregnancy and two losses that have left me with so many emotions. Since then I have found a wonderful online group I participate in and they showed me iamtheface.org. I am very honored to be able to create these pieces and help other women feel they are not alone.



I also had my first chance to take pictures...indoors....at NIGHT! Sure it's not an actual studio, but it takes good pictures!
