[Judy in Waco]

Thank you so much, ladies. It makes me happy to know that my work is appreciated.

Since I couldn't resist responding, I am going to make the most of my bump by sharing the project I am currently working on.

I call it the Freedom Cross and there's a lot of symbolism here for me...freedom is made of many people working together, freedom is fragile and precious and others I haven't been able to describe properly yet.

It's still a work in progress, but I'm pleased with it so far.

The Recycle America pendant is made of 80% recycled materials and features a piece of a clothing tag with an eagle on one side and the words "in the USA" on the other.

This is one of the puppy mill pendants I have in my shop with more to come.

And finally, this is an unusual piece. It's a broken shard of green transferware that I have soldered and turned into a pendant.

I am also making pet photo charms if you haven't heard.

Thank you for taking the time to look.
