Dragonflies, Butterflies and Turtles

Am having a good response to these crackled resin and polymer clay critters to which I'm adding a little hardware or watch gears.The dragonflies also come in a 'batik' finish and variety of colour...

Turtles:
These are strung on black satin type cord (through mouth), 16" to 18" with lobster clasp, extension chain and hematite bead dangle. $28 to 38 (small to large)
Dragonfly and Butterfly Earrings: $26 and carded with legend on back. Dragonflies measure approx. 1 1/4 inch long and Butterflies approx. 5/8".

 
 

The metal parts for the barrettes are inlaid and not glued on, so nice and solid.
Barrettes are $28 and measure approx. 4 inches by 1 1/8 inch. Other sizes will be available and I'd consider this one a large.
 
Dragonfly pendants and pins.
Necklaces: Satin type cord 16" to 18" with lobster clasp, extension chain and hematite bead dangle. $32 on tent card with legend
Pins: the metal parts are inlaid and no glue is used. This makes for a much more solid piece. 
2 sizes: med. approx 2 1/2 inches long x 1 3/4 inch wide wing span $28
Large: approx. 3 inches long x 2 inch wide wing span. $32. Both on tent cards with legend
