I haven’t listed anything on ebay for years. So, with a spur of the moment with a low starting bid, I decided to list one necklace. It is a 5 day listing. Here it is:

TOPIC: Memories/Experiences from 2011

2011 was filled with valuable experiences for me. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Joined the EtsyMetal Team in January.  Membership in this Team  has opened all sorts of creative doors for me. I have forged new friendships with like-minded artists, learned new techniques and find the velocity of this Team so, so… inspiring.   Have a look  at our Blog for plenty of great info, tutorials and artist features!  I’m excited and very proud to be a member and look forward to the years to come!

Expanded techniques and continued education.  I have dabbled in cold connections, enamels, different metal finishes and have plans to continue to expand my business.

Attended (as a spectator) art/craft shows. This year I went to several art/craft shows and have decided to put some art shows on my calendar in 2012. I have never really had time to do them and will commit to making the time starting this coming spring/summer.

On a personal level… 2011 was filled with many challenges and experiences with good friends and family. I have developed an even greater appreciation for the time spent with people I care about. I am very thankful for the life I have!!

I want to thank my family, friends, Team mates and customers for a wonderful 2011. I appreciate you guys more than I can say.  Lets raise our glasses to 2012!

TOPIC:   Holiday Season Preview

‘Tis that season again and all is very busy in (and out of) my studio! For this holiday I am focusing on making more of  my Vintage Button jewelry, smaller-stone jewelry and my new mini glass vial pendants.  

Unfortunately, I am already booked for custom orders, so I’ll focus on necklaces, earrings and adjustable bracelets with fits that will work for nearly anyone. I can always offer a different length of chain for your pendant needs. Please keep your eye on my Etsy Shop as I’ll be adding new pieces often between now and mid December.  Feel free to contact me if you have questions, comments or if there is something specific you are looking for (I may have something not photographed/listed yet).

I wish everyone a magical season and hope that 2012 will ring in health and happiness!

The EtsyMetal Team is celebrating their 5 year anniversary with a sale! I am offering 20% off of everything in my Etsy Shop. Sale goes on from 10/16 through 10/22.

This is a combination of transparent enamels. Honestly… I don’t remember which colors I used… But it sure is fun!

Project Runway Challenge:
For this episode, the designers must look to the past and create a modern look inspired by 70′s fashion.

Our EtsyMetal Challenge Translation:
Dig your feet into that green shag carpet and make a piece inspired by 1970′s trends, style, and fashion.

My Interpretation:
The 70s was a very important and memorable time for me. For this challenge I put “Time In A Bottle“.
