  • Rusty metal tags. Similar to the galvanized metal tags only these have a rusty finish. Don't worry though, they have been coated so they rustiness doesn't come off on your papers.
  • Galvanized metal tags. These wonderful galvanized metal tags can be stamped on and embossed, collaged on or any other inventive use that you may discover! They are still fairly lightweight and great to use in many projects.
  • Flexible aluminum tags. Lightweight and easy to use, these flexible aluminum tags can be attached with eyelets, brads, or sewn on. Can be rubberstamped or used with metal stamps for a really great impression!
  • Fortune telling ornament. This silver metal fortune telling ornament is from the Andes. Either heart, round or horseshoe-shaped with people, symbols and animals . . . it would be a great embellishment for an altar or shrine.
  • Vintage style metal insect pins.These are fabulous metal pins in the shape of various insects: beetles, ladybugs, dragonfles, cicadas. There are 12 on a sheet and they are even more fabulous in person.
  • Vintage style metal bird pins. Wonderful vintage style metal bird pins. Twelve pins in total on sheet. Similar to the insect pins.
  • Brass mesh. Not as fine as the bronze mesh, but still cool. This is brass mesh 80x80 and is similar to what is sold at Michael's and other such places. You get a generous roll 12 inches by 36 inches. Try heat treating with your heat gun for rainbow effects.
  • Brass or stainless steel oval tags. These plain, solid brass tags are 1-1/2 inches long and 3/4" wide (at the widest point). These were made especially for Anima Designs and are perfect to add to the front of your journal or to title an assemblage project.
  • Vintage round brass tool tags. These are wonderful round brass tool tags which are sold in packages of 5. They are engraved with various sequences of numbers and are fairly thin. Please see the quarter in the photo for reference. Made in the USA. In vintage condition: may not be "pristine".
  • Bronze mesh. Finally back in stock only this bronze mesh is even finer and more silky! Bronze mesh (90% copper, 10% zinc) – a finer mesh (200 x 200 mesh vs. the 80 x 80 mesh that Nina Bagley uses in her book in Somerset Studio and that’s sold at Michael’s). Also since has a small percentage of zinc, it is a lighter shade of copper but still easily heat-treated with your heat gun for a cool effect.
  • Vintage-style butterfly pins. Fabulous vintage-style butterfly pins. Similar to the bird and insect pins. You get a set of twelve.
  • Label holder in larger size. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FINISH ON THE LABEL HOLDER IS BRIGHT BRASS. This item has a slightly different profile than the label holder without pull which was previously offered. It is slightly smaller and has a more decorative side piece. Once again though, it pays to buy in quantity! The more you buy, the greater the savings! The finish is brass plated nickel.
  • Metal floral beads. These beads come in two sizes and are handmade from silver metal. They have been patina'd to show the incredible detail. The larger size is 8mm high by 9mm in diameter with a 2mm hole. The smaller size is 6mm high and in diameter with a 2 mm hole.
