It's been a long time. We just came back from vacation yesterday and we had a wonderful time. Look at how many little stars I created in our family down time ie. when baby was napping and we weren't on the go and when the little guy wasn't destroying our very schwanky cottage.....
There are 24 of them and the Halloween coloured one (black and orange) is available in my store now. Other colour combos may become available but most of these are destined for my fall craft shows.
I also haven't introduced my caterpillar chainmaille titanium bracelet yet. I named it caterpillar because I actually scared off a colleague when I put just a small piece of it over my finger and put it under her nose... I love the slinkiness of the box chain and the coloures of the anodized titanium. I'm a fan of variegated colours in my knitting so I also love to randomly arrange colours in my jewelry creations.
And last but not least, this blue heart pendant had been burning to be made into a necklace. It just took me a while to get it all put together. A simple blue enameled copper and stainless steel 2 X 2 chain turned the pendant into a necklace. I'm so pleased with it....
These are my latest and greatest in the store. While I was away, I got two lovely supply envelopes. :-) So let's see what I can come up with next. I'm a bit behind on posting about my affection with large kidney ear wires and cubes.... that shall be next up. Right now, my 18 month old is single handedley demolishing a kleenex box. I guess a sign I should stop.
With brown and pink combined being all the fashion rage........ or so it seems......... I had been wanting to make this necklace for a while. I finally did it and I'm ready to list it in my store but I'm not sure it will even make it there. One of my colleagues already snatched it but I took it back because I haven't told her the price. With all the sterling links in it etc. it's quite expensive and I'm not sure whether she'll still be interested once I tell her the price. I have a hard time, face to face, telling someone my price and sticking with it..... and I'm already taking it easy on the price with her. So, I'll go tell her in a bit and she can decide. At the same time, I don't want her to buy it just because she feels obligated now........ know what I mean?
Okay, I won't be nervous, I'll go tell her now................... if you check out my store and see it listed later, you'll know that it was too expensive for her. :-)
For the sake of keeping track of all my creations, here's a necklace that I didn't get around to showing off last week. I think this necklace is a lot of fun and just a bit different. Very simple and very casual but the pendant is quite big and so not necessarily for the faint of heart. :-)
Yesterday I had a bit of unexpected time. I dropped my little girl at a birthday party just 2 doors down the street. I've never left her at a birthday party by herself but all the Moms were dropping the kids and so did I. What a freeing moment..... In less than 2 minutes, I was back at home. The baby went for a nap. The husband went to do some work in the basement and I said............ housework.............. not for me, not with 2 1/2 hours of unexpected free time. So I decided to play with some of my sterling silver earring components that I bought some time ago. I can show you my first pair today. My second pair already sold at the office and I never got a photograph of it. I don't have a picture of my third pair yet and the weather is terrible so maybe I'll try my scanner tonight. So here is pair #1, listed this morning:
I love the colours. All the components are sterling silver and the crystals are 4mm Swarovski bicones in aquamarine and a colour whose name I can't remember at the moment.
I also played with this bracelet:
The beads are fun lampwork beads that I picked up some time ago. I also created a necklace to match and will create some little earrings to make up a set. For the necklace, I just need to attach a clasp and I've set some beads aside for the earrings. I'm just trying to figure out whether I should try to list necklace, bracelet and earrings as a set or individually. I haven't created any matching pieces yet so I'm not sure what would be more attractive. The word is still out. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
I created a couple of fun/casual necklaces this weekend. Here's the first of them listed this morning at Sparkles & Fuzz:
The dichroic glass pendant reflects the light and the colours shimmer differently depending on the light and its direction. The chord is a faux suede leather chord and the findings are silver plated.
