A few months ago I participated in a charm exchange and each one of us
prepared 25 charms…like this was not enough, I joined another
exchange…this time for hometown and affirmation charms and signed up
for 15 charms of each. Anyhow, I finally finished them so I wanted to
share them with you. My affirmation charm is love. These charms were
made on copper disks which I hammered, stamped the letters, punched the
holes and riveted a glass heart (that I made of course). I wanted to
make it look like a compass with the heart arrow pointing to one of the
L-O-V-E directions…so here they are
My hometown charm was inspired on the Grizzly bears which are the
symbol of California. We visited the San Francisco zoo and found this
new exhibit where you can see the bears up close…well, as long as the
bear wants to get close to the window…so here is the inspiration

and a picture of the charms...
Let me know what you think!
