New Things Coming

I'll have some cool new designs coming soon! Awhile ago I bought a torch & supplies to start fusing and welding. OK, a long time ago. Well, I finally started last weekend. It's awesome!! Fire, melting stuff, what's not to like? Look for pictures very soon.

Finally Finished ! for now. . .

Well I've finally figured out and completed adding the "mommy necklaces" to my website. Now you can easily order them directly from my site. This turned out to be a TON of work. Who knew? Adding an option for each charm and figuring out a way to let the customer enter the names they wanted for each charm was way over my head. But I think I finally got it! Now who wants to be the guinea pig to place the first order and test it out??

Next step - this may be awhile - add products to the earring/bracelet/necklace pages. . .

Wow! It's been a crazy week and I still have to get through Friday!!! I'm still trying to finish the web site update when I can grab a few minutes here and there. Must get some jewelry made this weekend!!!

Labor Day Weekend

How was your Labor Day? Ours was relatively quiet. The kids were tired from starting back to school & they all had some kind of little cold going. Truth be told, the grown-ups were a little run down too! So we mostly stayed close to home.

I didn't make any jewelry this weekend, but I did do a TON of work on my web-site. Within a few days you should be able to order the Mommy Necklaces straight off the site. I'n really excited. People ask about them all the time and it will be great to give them an easy ordering option. Stay Tuned!

Wrap It Up

As promised, here is a pic of the wrapped stone technique I've been working on. I did this one last week, but had to put it aside for other things. The process was actually pretty simple, once I figured it out. The bezel wire can be textured - or not - however your want. I happen to be partial to spirals! Now, what else can I do with this cool new trick??? Stay tuned!

Accepted!

I was very excited today to get an email saying I'd been accepted to the Highlands Ranch Fall 08 Craft Show! This is a juried show (meaning a committee of craftpeople and artists judge your work - see link ) that I applied to a couple of years ago and was not accepted into then. (Looking back at the stuff I was doing then, I can see why!!)

Now the hard work begins. I need a lot of inventory!! Dates for the show are Sat and Sun, October 11 & 12. More inf. to come.

Bezel Wire

I got some new supplies yesterday. Fun, fun, fun. Hoping to figure out how to make some "wrapped beads" later today. Will post some pics if they're not too horrible!
