Silhouette earrings and necklace

So I finally got around to making the silhouette jewlery I was hoping to make. I love these longer earwires, the tiles dangle and move well, and it looks great!  I actually made two different sizes of images for the earrings. What do you like better?  First is the small full images at the bottom of the glass tile.

Can I just say, taking a picture of your ear's is HARD!  I've got to teach someone around here HOW to take a picture so I can make this look nicer!  Or I guess let someone else wear them for a photo!  But you can see the length and get an idea this way!

And next is the larger image but only half the face.  What do you think?  Since I have 4 kids, not two, I actually put images of the boys on the back side.  And with my super short hair you can actually SEE the back!

Next up, the necklace. I'm still looking for the perfect spacer beads for in between, since I have so many kids.  Obviously this works great with 1 or two kids, even three.  Four is probably pushing it, but heck, why not!  I love it!  I can't wait to wear them tomorrow!  These are actually made with glass tiles that are scrabble size.  Much better than my first attempt with the 1 inch square!   Not to big, not to small, with a teeny tiny ball chain!

For the backs of these I actually just put their initials.  I know you can't really see them with the bail, but I didn't want a color, since they might flip over and I want to be able to wear them with everything, and plain white seemed silly.  So an initial was a good choice.  Of course I maybe should have made them smaller and put them lower!  Oh well, next time!

See?  They could really use some spacers...   Anyway, I'm adding these to my Etsy store and they'd make GREAT mother's day gifts!!!  You could also put the pendant on a charm bracelet, or like my grandma wears a charm NECKLACE (actually she has like 5 now...)

Silhouette jewelry

I was thinking that personalized silhouette jewelry so I've been playing around and trying different options.  The glass tile was too large to hang multiple images.  But the resin style still isn't dry after 3 days!  And it was super messy.  So what size/style do you like?  I'll get the supplies and start selling them once I know.  Don't mind the wet spots in the images.  I guess I didn't seal the images very well before I poured the resin on.  I learned quite a few things that will help next time.  But before I did a bunch more I wanted some opinions better than my husbands.  So the glass tile (but smaller, any suggestions?) or on wood, or in the bevel?  Also square, rectangle, round or maybe oval?  I was thinking the glass tile in the scrabble tile size (third one down) but do  you think it's still too large?  I made a full set (second row) to see what it would look like with all 4 of my kids, but they were still too big.
