The products.

For the more refined pewter pieces, I pre-pierced the general shape of the pendants before fly pressing. 
I am drawn towards the finished pewter pieces with the broken but distinct borders which just frame the words so nicely. The little nuances in the contour of the piece give it this authentic kind of feeling. 
For this piece I used a visually strong silver, oval jump ring on a piece of tea-stained lace.
I chose this lace in particular because it is made of thick strong material with texture to it. It does not feel like the new, flat materials often used now days.
It also added a touch of the feminine to an otherwise quite masculine pendant.

 For the piece below I letter punched sugar&spice on one side and all words which one associates with "all things nice" on the other side. Only the border was fly pressed.
 I put this piece on some old cotton fabric which I stained and stripped and knotted.

 With some of the metal components of the Sugar and Spice sandwich I made labels for ornamental bottles of "sugar," "spice" and "all things nice"
