Crystal Creatures

Hello, holiday season!

For those of you who don't already know, I love all things incredibly shiny and all things irresistibly cute. Put those two qualities together and you get Swarovski crystal creatures!

These pictures don't quite do them justice... they sparkle and shine whenever light hits the crystals. I like to use them as cell phone charms, but you can also hang them from your purse, wallet or car mirror! Be creative.

A little birdie once told me that everyone needs something cute and shiny dangling off their cell phones...

Bird (or Penguin!)
I absolutely adore birds. When I was younger I wanted to be an ornithologist, and I owned too many chickens to count.


Dragonfly
 I like to think of these as damselflies, which are like smaller, delicate dragonflies. We used to have damselflies and dragonflies dance around our swimming pool...which really is more like a pond.


Mouse
Squeak squeak. Boy, can these things jump! If you ever have a mouse problem, all you need is a marshmallow, a empty paper toilet roll, and a deep trash bin. Really, they're too cute to harm.


 
Hamster
I haven't had any experiences with hamsters, but have you seen dwarf hamsters at the pet store??? They melt my heart with just one look.


Finally, meet Koa, my best friend's puppy.


I attempted to make a crystal puppy look just like him!

Puppy
He even has a little doggie bone to go along with him!


I usually make these crystal creatures to order, but I also occasionally post some up for sale. If you're interested in a custom cell phone charm, feel free to send me an email.


Happy Holidays!
