New Favorites

My new favorites.  They look like bricks to me. These just magically happened one day. Many moons ago I had this very idea but it didn't dawn on me to make the beads smaller.  So, I gave birth to the brick beads.  It took a little finesse and fine tuning to drill the holes just right but look at the brilliance, the splendor,  the magnificence.  I really like how these came out.  I even realized that when paired with the right beads the bricks have a fabulous unisex quality.  Hopefully the fellas will think so.  These are very different from anything you have seen. I keep creating and finding new inspirations.  I'm keeping myself busy and developing my own path.  Hope you enjoy the journey as much as I am. ..............ohh, maybe I should explain the two necklaces in the photo.  I am wearing two different pieces.  One has black and white bone beads with smaller amber glass beads.  The slightly longer necklace has magnesite nugget beads dyed turquoise . (I will never try to pass off any beads I have as something they are not. If the tag says howelite then that's what I tell you it is.) The turquoise look is very popular these days but everyone can't afford it.  You can have the look without the sacrifice.  Enjoy!

Ty-dyed Bamboo Discs

These discs measure one inch.  They are not too big and not too small.  The back is solid black.  The front is carved and etched for  a distressed look. The colors are varied which compliments any colorful outfit. Enjoy!

Check out the new, NEW earrings. I really should make necklaces to go with these.  They are soo fabu.  My favorite is the bamboo carved ones with Oriental ceramic beads.  Just love, love, love.  Thanks for stopping by.

I have completed the necklace so now I am adding it to the blog.  Some women always ask me for a necklace to go with their earrings.  I get so excited over the earrings, the idea for  necklaces and bracelets never have time to permeate through my maddness.  Drawing the dragonflies was really a lot of fun and I decided to make a collection  of them. Stay tuned there is more where these came from.  

Mama Needs a new website

Ok, it's time for a new look.  Please buy as many earrings as you possibly can because Mama needs a new website.  Very soon I will have up for sale my most anticipated Happy Nappy earrings.  For all those natural hair enthusiast you can show your pride with a pair of handcrafted Afrocentric conversation starters. You haven't seen anything like this before, so hold on to yo seat. I have been using a lot of copper lately and very soon will be creating my very own ear wires with sterling silver (for those of you who have metal allergies), just waiting on that shipment to come in.  Put in your request early because I anticipate much midnight oil burning coming on.  Jewelry parties, yes, yes, and ohh yes. Last year I didn't get around to it, (wasn't busy), I procrastinated.  Let's just be honest. So all my out of townies, you are invited, but if you can't make it, I will try to have some live streaming (possibly on the second go round), cause I haven't forgot about all my peoples.  Luv Yo

By following me on this blog you will spur me to create more.  For some strange reason I can become extremely unmotivated when sales are down.  Last weekend my good friend dropped in for a visit while traveling through our neck of the woods and jump started me back into the workshop.  I have to say she is my biggest fan and I was glad to have some  new things to show her.  Well that is the key to keeping me busy.  Everybody say, "Go, Yo-yo, go Yo-yo Go! Please If you have any request leave me a comment and I will do my best.  Last week I received an inquiry from France, which I was uber excited over!  Bamboo jewelry making it across the sea!  Now that's what Im talking about. Major validation/motivation to do more.  Here are the Cowry Shell Earrings that have been discounted.  They were $7 Now Only $5. Get yours while the shells last.  Well, no two are exactly alike, and if you're like me you  don't like to have anything that someone else has. Enjoy   Luv Yo
