Weekly Featured Seller: Creations by Cory

The thing that struck me when visiting Creations by Cory, was the vibrant colors used in the pendants. Let's meet our seller:



1. What is the name of your store and what do you sell?
My store is Creations By Cory. I make soldered glass collage art pendants. I take photo, vintage postcard images, and assorted images I have gathered, and collage them into one of a kind pendants. They are the encased in glass and then soldered with silver, lead free solder. I also make unique necklaces to accompany many of my necklaces.

2. How did you get into your craft?

I have always loved art, and took art classes for most of my life. My true love is painting in oils. I then discovered and feel in love with idea of taking different objects and mediums and making them into one unique piece. I am also a huge jewelry girl. So being able to take art and transform it into a wearable jewelry piece is just the perfect combination for me.

3. What is your latest project?
I always have tons of ideas brewing. It's just getting them all done. My absolute newest project are my soldered glass crosses. They have been a huge hit, and are definately a statement maker. I have also been doing a lot of custom photo pendants, which I love to do. Most of them are of little children, but they are the most fun to work with. I take these photos and collage them with butterfly wings, crown, and other objects I come up with along the way. The cutest one I did was a little girl with butterfly wings collaged as a jack in the box. I really enjoy doing the custom pendants. I have also done alot of school sport photo pendants, with school mascots and children's sport photos. That is probably the second best seller in my pendants.
