If you've been reading our newsletter for the past couple of years you'll know that I've picked up another hobby (soldering) and married it to my love of stitching. I'm now making and selling custom stitched pendants. They are generally stitched over-one on 36 or 40 count fabric with silk threads. The front glass is beveled and the edging is a lead-free solder so you can wear it next to your skin.
I have finished several of the soldered pendants, which are available for purchase and I'm taking orders for any custom ones you might want done. The ones available at present are below. In general the pendants are $100 for the initials (about 1" square) and $110 (Stag) to $125 for other designs (1.5" square). The larger designs don't have baubles on them so you can use them as ornaments on a tree. Pair the pendant with your favorite chain and you've got a great necklace.
