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!

Handmade Buttons

Here are some lovely porcelain buttons I made.  I keep making them.  I wish someone would give them a good home because they are purty!

So if you know anyone who loves funky chunky handmade button please direct them to my store and help give these little fella's a home :P

Fresh out of the Kiln

Ahh, the smell of fresh baked porcelain in the morning. I get so giddy with anticipation of seeing my pieces in their final stage that my child in me wakes me up extra early so I can open up my kiln. It's like Christmas, because you basically have no idea what your going to get. The glazes have a mind of their own, sometimes there are color combos that you didn't even use or the colors you thought you put don't show up. I know I put lots of purple, where did it go? But mostly I am always delighted with what the kiln gods bless me with. So here are some more beads and baubles that I will have at the Handmade Brigade this Saturday in Cerritos CA, at the Tall Mouse store from 11am to 5pm. There are lots of talented indie crafters showing their wares and it sure is to be a lot of fun! The Tall Mouse store is a family owned craft store, hurrah for family own independent stores just as they are supporting us indie crafters these businesses need our support too! So come on down this Saturday and have some fun, you can bring the kiddies :)
