plus lots of other cute little vintage and vintage style charms and also chains.
I know there is a wholesaler out there somewhere, whether it be in UK, US or China! Can anyone help with suppliers?

Thanks!

I have a charm blank, and a bubble. Here's a pic of what I mean.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie wItem&item=380136092907&ssPageNa me=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Here's the question - won't just putting glue on top of the picture and sticking the bubble on top with glue leave visible bubbles in the glue, or show the glue through the charm? How does this work?

First, there are many names for putting pictures behind clear glass "bubbles" (also called pebbles, hemispheres, etc.), whether they're inside a charm blank** or not ("charm blanks are also called pendant trays, cabachon settings, bead frames, or photo "Italian charms," and even metal bottle caps are often used).

The technique when using a glue is pretty much the same though. Several types of glue will dry or cure very clear and can be used with paper, glass and/or or metal. The most common one used is probably E6000, but 2-pt epoxy glues and even strong permanent "white glues" (like The Ultimate by Crafters Pick, e.g.) can work too, as well as acrylic mediums, etc. The paper is pressed to the glass quite firmly so there should be no bubbling afterward.

Check out some of these pics and lessons, etc:

Pics are also put into "cells" like these charm blanks as you call them (or into cells made from polymer clay or other things), then covered with resin to create pretty much the same effect.
An epoxy resin works best in this situation, though even 2-pt epoxy glues can work in small applications like this (I've heard that Devcon 2-Ton 30-min-set is the clearest brand).

Some images-on-paper will need to be sealed before using with resin, or glues, to avoid transparency of the paper and also possible bleeding of the inks/etc depending on their type, etc. That can be done with a quick thin coat of diluted white glue or with ModPodge, or if used with resin with a quick light coat of resin.

Hi, I think your makings r very nice.
You could sell at flea markets, but make sure you have a nice set up on your table.Take a table cloth of one solid color or buy cheap material at Wal-mart and take small boxes and put under the table cloth so that you have different heights .It makes it more appealing. Then lay your makings on the boxes and on the table. Make sure you have a price on your stuff .Use little jewelry tags.
You can also start selling at craft shows .
Hope this helped
