you could do some wire work on them too Joan. Did you draw patterns of them before you soldered them so you can do some more?

no Alan, I forgot to mention that. They show her with glass wings, but I used the filigree instead

No I didn't trace them Anne, they are pretty simple shapes, so I figured there wasn't any need, and besides, I think that with the copywrite stuff, I had better not. Yes wire work would add some more interest to them but that would also increase the amount you would have to charge, as the more you handle something the price jumps LOL |

I ordered those once and got the jewels but not the bevels! Never did get to reorder! I like the idea of some wire work too.

Those are really cute! Thanks for telling about them, quick and easy ornaments! I love working w/bevels..they have such a nice look about them.
LOL, I probably would have traced them though...and made some out of regular sparkly clears or xmassy colored glass too.

The holly is out there in abundance. a broken bevel makes a candle, I think Spectrum has the sock and ornament- plus.
Warner used to have a candle shelter made from a round of beveled candles, so easy to make with holly overlay.
I made a bunch of bevel angels one year, I had some zippered bevels, not very good pics and the second one is how not to do it.
1. The structure is weak. 2. The wings look like a moustache from 10 paces.

I would have traced them because they are too basic in design for there to be a copyright issue... |

Hi Di. The ornaments came in a card of 9. The medium Angels come on a card of 3 and the mini ones (I didn't post any yet), come on a card of 4 |

thanks Lady Helen. These are really nice to work with for sure. I am going to start a new project for the show (hopefully), today.
I want to make a panel from "basically bevels 2", to show as an example what what can be made for a special gift with engraving in an oval bevel. I think that, that type of panel may be great ideas for gifts people looking for commemorative gifts, thank you gifts, teachers gifts

How cute are all those ornaments? The small ones would be great to put on a package as an added gift.

thanks everyone. Yes tieing them onto a bow on a gift is a great little extra gift for sure.
When our children were litte, I started a tridition of giving them an ornament as a gift, every year, that way they would have a good sized collection of them by the time they had their first tree. I still give them one each year.
One year I did the one that looks like a gift box with a big bow, that has a slot to put either money or a prepaid gift card in them, those were a big hit. That pattern came from "A Creative Christmas" from Cindy Bowman.
