Thank you to all my new customers

Thank you family and friends for making my first jewelry party a smashing success.  An enjoyable time was had by all.  So happy everyone was able to find something that they liked.  I am buying new supplies and excited to create more interesting jewelry items.  I received so many ideas and great feedback, as well as requests for more custom items.  The large  three sided pendant, display was more popular than expected.  It is a work in progress and because of the interest and excitement over this extravagant piece I will be developing it into a complete line.  Jewelry parties is where it's at.  Sometimes people ask me if I plan to open up a store.  My answer is no.  I am interested in doing  markets, traveling, selling online, and being out there making connections and not just waiting for the customers to come to me.  I like the flexibility of being home, and available for whatever may pop off, cause you never know.  My brick and mortar business will be a totally different venture.  The jewelry making adventure is something I will probably always tinker with but is not the pinnacle for this ole gal. Enjoy

Gearing UP!

Hi all, Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I will be heading to the Rock City next weekend where I am planning my first jewelry party among friends and family.  This will be the first time getting together both sides of my family. Very excited.  So many things have been produced in a short time. Many of the new pieces I haven't even had a chance to take photos of yet. I stumbled upon a very cute design for the Fylp line.  Soo cute.  I can't wait to reveal these at the party.  The blog audience has to wait because I am keeping my new arrivals under wraps. I will however  post some photos of a group of necklaces that I have been working on.  Enjoy

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.
