Rainbow Buddha's

Beautiful Buddha's are now live in my shop.

New colors listed!

I just listed several QuanYin pendants in lots of new colors.

Pretty packages

Just wanted to show off how I wrap up some of my orders!

New Bead Bundles

I have been using copper wire to string up my bead sets forever, but with the cost of copper wire going up it just seems like a frivolous expense. 

I also have been wanting to change the look of my shop to something maybe a bit warmer and inviting.

  I bought some lovely green hemp cord on etsy and started stringing up my beads into these sweet little bundles and I am very pleased with the outcome.

My Cat is My Happy Place

We adopted Tiberious (Tibbs for short) almost 3 years ago.  He was a barn kitty rescue so he is really shy and skittish.  He runs for cover if someone other than a family member enters the house. He freaks out when we change the kitchen garbage bag, sweep, vacuum or mop.

 He has issues but they make him interesting. He loves to be groomed and is super playful.  He loves to sit on the love seats arm and with his haunch's facing you so you can smack them like bongo drums and it cracks me up every time.

 He is always trying to get an extra snack and will go at great lengths to get it talking up the storm and trying to lead you into the kitchen.

 When my youngest daughter sits on the stairs he will run down and pause long enough above her to get in a few playful swats at her head before moving on.

 He is more gentle with me than my husband when playing. My husband almost always leaves a mock battle with Tibbs with a wound but Tibbs also lets my husband do raspberries on his furry belly.

He has a sixth sense when I am bringing clean laundry and has to burrow into and take a nap which leaves us with cat fur covered wrinkled clothes but how can you say no to him?

He sits by me when I work on the computer, roll new beads or glaze pieces for a firing.

He hates being forced to cuddle and it has to be on his terms but if you are patient he will sit right next to you and allow you to love on him.

That is my cat and he is my happy place. If that makes me a crazy cat lady then I am happy to be one!

Copper Foil Wrapped Jewely

A few months ago I decided to try something new with my ceramics using a copper foil wrap technique that uses silver solder. I really enjoy this technique and I think it compliments my ceramic wares. Here are some items that are in my shop made with the solder.

I have lots of new pendants and earrings posted in my shop.  If you are a jewelry designer and are interested in my components for your jewelry designs, send me a message on etsy for a 20% off coupon code.

Sale Section And First Friday Art Walk!

In my Etsy shop I have been fooling around with the sections trying to make it easier for customers to find what they want. I also wanted to combine my different jewelry sections into one section with all the jewelry.  I decided to create a new "Sale" section.

I like the idea of a sale section.  I feel like it's kinda like cleaning house and many of those items I don't make anymore. I am going to keep adding stuff often so keep checking it for dealiOs!

Also don't forget tomorrow is first friday and I have got a great coupon code for you! For 15% off you order FFAWBOC

(Isn't that little bunny cute?  He is in my shop right now but I am seriously thinking of yanking him out and keeping him.)

Destash ... Pendants in my Shop 4-5 Dollars Woo Hoo!!

I don't know about you but I am a bead hoarder..  I have a ton of Ceramic stuff I have been hoarding.  I guess when I make new stuff the older stuff gets stuffed into tiny bags and and cubbyholes.

  So yesterday I finally got most of it out and took pictures, edited, and started posting them in my shop Whew! ...It's a lot of work!  But the good news is they are all only 4-5 dollars each!!

This Raku Leaf Pendant is in my Raku Section.. 4 dollars people!! I have a lovely green Raku Leaf too!

New Paisley Pendant And Bead Sets

Here are some new pendants and beads fresh out of the kiln.  I hand carved some new designs and made molds out of them at the end of summer.  These new items are the first using those designs. 

They took awhile longer to glaze but I am happy with how they turned out.  You can see them in my shop!  They are double sided!!

Beads Fresh Out of the Kiln

Ohh pretty!! Get them while they are hot! I just posted them in my Etsy store JeraLuna Designs. 

How's It Hanging Stud?

I made these for various shows I have done and as promised to my local customers I am finally putting them into my little etsy store . 

They are super cute! Super light Weight and Super affordable at $12 a pair!  I wrap them up nicely in a brown little box with hemp or cotton cord tied up with one of my sweet little ceramic charms.  Perfect of the up coming holiday season.

Bracelets and Bangles

I posted some Bangles and Bracelets that I made sometime ago.  I have local customers that have been asking me to put them in my shop... so after some procrastinating a bit I did it yesterday.  It makes me want to make more! So take a look :)

Posting Some Jewelry ... Finally!

I have lots of Jewelry that I have made out of my beads.  I have it stashed in little bags inside boxes and bins.  I have had people ask me to post my jewelry in my shop but for some reason I always get hung up on some detail. For example I have a ton of rings and bracelets but I worry about sizes and how to take pictures of them that would be appealing.. oh and about a thosand other details.

  This is exactly what happened to me when I opened my Etsy shop.  I got hung up on a thosand little details and it kept me from posting my beads forever.  I got over the fear and now posting my beads is a breeze.  So I am throwing caution to the wind and just doing it.  I am sure there will be a learning curve on how to present my jewelry but how will I learn if I don't just do it?

Here are some pictures of my new earrings I am posting and hopefully over the next few days I will be adding rings and bracelets too!

Treasury Crazy

So I have been making treasuries.  It took me awhile to figure out how to do it.  I like Artfires collection maker slightly more than the Etsy treasury maker.  But they look better on Etsy... Maybe it is because people take better photo's of their work on Etsy?
Anyhow I still have not figured out how to get a picture of it on my blog.

Here is a link to a couple I made.  Intergalactic Plantary. is based on me watching back to back seasons of BattleStar Galactica on the netflix.

Math Class Is a number based Treasury that I did because I saw some really great art based on numbers and wanted to pay tribute.

Buried is one I did with peoples items that were on the last pages of the Etsy search engine.

The picture is of a little house I made with a heart living inside.  I am loving it and will make some more.

Here is a new one I made tonight Spring is in the Air.. part of the I love treasury team challenge.

RockStar Beads

Yesterday I spent all day glazing and watching bad movies.  I tried a few new things out. I had bought these bright pastel underglazes awhile back but had yet to really give them a go.  I usually go with a more natural color palette but also I hate being put into a box and labeled as that one thing so every now and then I like to breakout of the box and do something different.

So here are a few pictures of my latest kiln fire and oh boy, I am super pleased. I had listed some in my shop already and am going to list more tomorrow!

Posting Crazy in my Shop

I  feel like I have a good routine going with my picture taking (finally!) and I my editing is going nicely too.  I wish I could  be one of those people who set a nice stage for their products but really that just doesn't work for me.  Maybe some day ....

My next big tackle is shipping and learning to tag and that whole seo oh boy makes me anxious and get all overwhelmed by it .... baby  steps.

I really feel like the bead sets are working out nicely and  they are selling well. Maybe because they are what I love best of all.  It makes me happy when I know that a bead lover bought my beads because I know they went to a good home. So more beads will be a coming!  I have made bead sets out of most of my stash and have been posting them almost daily.

Handmade Brigade

I made some coupons for the Handmade Brigade goody bags and coupled them with my business cards.  The coupons are Buy one get one for half off type dealio.  I am also planning to put together a variety of items to give away in a drawing. I have not decided how I am going to do it yet, maybe having people write their names and emails down and put in a bowl.  In the past I have put samples of my items in the goodie bags.  My samples being little charms that I sell for 3 to 5 dollars each.. Well I did the math and it was not in my favor!  So coupons it is!  Which I think is a great idea.

I have been working non-stop it seems, I have shows every weekend until July!!!  I have been rakuing and stringing up necklaces and making bead sets, hand making copper clasps and putting them on leather cord.  I am having my husband design and board that will sit along side my table about chin height where I am going to hang all of my pendants. Tons and tons to do, good thing I love it!

Through all this mad mad rush I have been neglecting my poor blog and my poor Etsy shop! But my Etsy shop has been very good to me even though.  I have been featured in three treasuries and a few sales plus my first International sale to Norway!!! Yippeee!!

I do love doing what I do!!
