Well, the days are racing past so quickly that Christmas will be here before you know it. Must get cards out to my overseas friends and relatives or they'll turn into New Years cards!
Have added a couple of new items to my shops, the previously shown Green Amethyst bracelet:
and a Purple Amethyst and Lampwork pair of earrings.
Hopefully I'll have a successful Christmas season!
Well the Christmas season is almost upon us which means I'm very busy trying to get new jewellery items completed.
I've finally used the Green Amethyst that I purchased ages ago. I absolutely love the colour of this stone. It reminds me of the colour of the Indian ocean off the coast of Kenya. When I was on holiday there I tried and tried to capture the true colour of the ocean in a photograph without any success. Green Amethyst (also known as prasiolite) matches it perfectly. Will be making some items of jewellery with this stone for myself, just to remind me of the lovely, restful time I had in my cottage by the beach.
Had a message from Twitter today telling me that I had a new follower. Couldn't believe who it was, the Doobie Brothers! Wow!
Have always loved their song "Black Water" and was inspired to create a bracelet with that name.
Uploaded a photo onto Facebook of the finished bracelet, hadn't uploaded to my Etsy or Artfire shops yet and it's already been sold to one of my friends!
Thanks Doobie Brothers!!
Been busy with earrings these past few days. Did up two pairs of copper plated earrings and one amber with sterling. Love them!
Also a custom order for a friend, love when friends come and ask you to create something for them :-)
Have been making sterling silver rings so I can create a few Celtic Star pendants. I'd show a picture but don't have one yet. They are a pretty popular pendant. The first one I made is one that I wear quite often and always get good comments about it.
There is a variation of the pendant that doesn't use the outer small rings, it's then called a Tudor Rose as it looks quite similar.
It was Thanksgiving weekend in Canada this weekend and I had a great one. Dinner at my Dad's which my uncle, visiting from England, attended. Nice to catch up with the family.
Then I woke up this morning, checked my Blackberry to discover two items sold. Truly something to be thankful for :-)
Let's hope this trend continues!
It's that time of year when we all start thinking towards Christmas. What to buy for that picky sister or aunt? How about that nephew who's into Goth. Well, chainmaille items are unique and will fit all sorts of personalities, from sweet and innocent to funky and mainstream.
