Another Etsy find:

These unique and beautiful earrings are completely handmade. High-quality 4mm faceted London blue topaz gemstones are prong-set on round sterling silver studs accented with sterling silver planetary rings. They are given a slight background texture and a highly polished shine.

I was pointed to the Great Images in NASA (GRIN) website earlier this week; GRIN offers high-resolution image galleries for everything that is NASA. The above is just one example; thousands of images await your browsing pleasure!

Today’s stamps feature the 1986 appearance of Halley’s Comet (and Edmund Halley himself.) Tonga and Mongolia both give philatelic tribute to a great comet!

A series of Etsy finds — beautiful space images mounted under a magnifying dome.

How my pendants are made: The image is printed on archival paper and is mounted under a high quality glass-like dome that reflects the light and magnifies the picture. It is then mounted into an original pewter setting with an oxidized sterling silver finish. The pendant is strung on a 16 inch sterling silver chain and is a little larger than an inch in diameter. All my jewelry is UV and water-resistant and made to last.

An Etsy find for Friday — all I can say is that I’d use every piece of this stuff. Every. Piece.

This is a collection of 50 scraps inspired by science-fiction style space travel. Included in this bag are pieces of colored and patterned paper, tags, tabs, brads, labels, vintage book illustrations, stickers, die cuts, printed scrapbooking bits, chipboard embellishments, tracing paper and anything else that seemed to fit the theme.

Add some “good-old-fashioned” artistic inspiration to you sketchbook, alter an old book, make up some sweet cards, glue your way to a fabulous collage, or outfit a highly original scrapbook!
