Huge sale!

I just listed all of these goodies and I am having a huge sale to mark my 800th sale!

Fresh out of the kiln!

I just wanted to share some of the new designs I carved into some porcelain clay.
Some are stamps and some are rollers. I can't wait to see how they work out!

Crocheted Rug

I have been working on all sorts of things lately and am trying to finish up works in progress. This rug I started last year and has been taunting me every time I happen upon it. I am using tarn I made from my husbands old tee-shirts and Cascades Tangier's yarn. I am using an H hook and going into a continuous spiral of single crochets around the tarn and adding a 2 sc into the same stitch every now and then to keep it flat. If it gets too ruffled  I l know that I added too many 2sc in the same stitch. I guess I am winging it. This looks great with cotton yarn too. I am using the Tangier's this time because it goes with the rustic thing ingot going on in my living room.

I will keep pictures posted of my progress to hopefully keep me on task!

Tie-Dyed Tarn Pot Holders

My husbands old tee-shirts were all white which makes a very boring ball of tarn.  I decided to infuse them in a rainbow of colors using a Tulip tie- dye kit. It was super easy I layed out my tarn in long skeins on top if plastic and squirt the colors in yellow, red, blue pattern. Once soaked I covered with plastic for several hours. I rinsed until it ran clear then dried. Tadaa! Beautiful rainbow skeins! 

Grateful tarn!

My Move to Artisan Component Marketplace

Several months ago I started up a store at Artisan Component Marketplace. I put a few things in it but I had been to busy to put much time into it. With the declining sales of my Etsy store and not wanting to keep paying massive fees on renewals I decided to move my handmade components over to my new store.

 I am still keeping my etsy store but I am going to use it to focus on selling my miniatures and jewelry.

I really like the Artisan Component Marketplace, it is run by artists and everyone who has a store has been juried for quality. So come over and checkout the many artists that are over there. Come over to my shop too and use coupon code MARCH to get 20% off your order!
