Last week, I made some cool Inchie Earrings with crackle paint. I'm happy to report that the complete class is now up on our website. Hooray! Also, I couldn't resist showing you this: I added one of our new Waffle Windows (inchie size) to the earrings. Love this! I just added a touch of Gilder's Paste to our Waffle Windows and glued it into place. Sweet!
...
This week, I decided to whip up some Flying Seahorse Earrings using our Classic Photo Charms (1" with 2 Loops), new Red Seahorses, Small Wings and background images from our new Dress Me Up Doll collage sheet.
...
Ta da! Here they are! Check out the new Flying Seahorse Earrings Class on our website for detailed step by step instructions.

lovely stuff. I am really in to anything steampunky and captain Nemo right now so a giant octopus would be great or any exotic vintage style fish. ( but I actually like Kerstens idea of ravens)

I love the new animals you have featured! I would love to see fox themed items at Artchix, because I have been in love with fox decorations since marying a Fox.

Neat earrings. And the look on Bruno's face... :)
What animal? My sis would say frogs, but I say dragons. The only thing that trumphs dragons is a cat and you've already done that.
Wouldn't mind ravens either, as Kersten suggested.

Mine would be jelly fish...I have been pondering an idea about making a life size paper mache jelly fish. I think they are so beautiful...very ethereal.

How about horses? Would love to make something with a horse theme!

Mythical fantasy animals like unicorns and griffins.
Posted by: Sue Cohen | June 30, 2011 at 11:54 AM
I would suggest dogs, maybe some caterpillars or ladybugs! I love lady bugs and you could have so much fun with them!

I would love to see soem crabs or jellyfish. I use a lot of Ocean Creatures!

I like the dragonflies idea.

Beautiful artwork and thanks for the tutorials. I would like to see some monkeys artwork featured on your site. I also like to fox idea. Whatever you decide it will be great - you never disappoint.
Posted by: Wendy | June 30, 2011 at 12:40 PM
Wow, I would say hummingbirds, but there are too many great ideas already posted. So, I guess you will have to keep the animal theme going...and going...and going!

I have quite a few really, dragonflies, gargoyles, tigers, lions, puppies, mice, kangaroos, anything tropical rain forest and peacocks. I love your stuff and just made a pocket journal last night using some of your collage sheets. It turned out fantastic!!
Posted by: Jan Vargas | June 30, 2011 at 01:30 PM
As they are my favourites (and Halloween is approaching ;-)), more crows and ravens would be fantastic! Can´t get enough of them!
Posted by: Marion | June 30, 2011 at 01:59 PM
I love tigers and lions. Love the waffle window over the inchie earrings. Lovely! Keep it up.
Posted by: Kathy Robb | June 30, 2011 at 02:03 PM
How about a flamingo? They are so much fun to dress up!.
Posted by: Sandy McKenzie | June 30, 2011 at 02:50 PM
I would go with seaturtles. It's turtle nesting season here in NC, so we're all waiting for turtles!
Posted by: Susan | June 30, 2011 at 03:00 PM
I vote for fox! Loving the jewelry ideas! So cute :)
Posted by: Laura | June 30, 2011 at 03:24 PM
How about dragonflies?
Posted by: Andrea Pearson | June 30, 2011 at 03:42 PM
Your sea horses are gorgeous. I would love to see some owls , but I also love the dragonfly idea and the frogs <3

I saw a beutiful sea otter sculpture the other day made out of fimo clay. The playful way the swim on their backs and rest goodies on their belly would make them a cute subject.

Helga..........AMAZING ITEMS!!! For some reason, I've been fascinated lately with anything to do with the carnival or circus. I would love to see giraffes!
And I've got to check out that movie, water for elephants.......it looks great!
