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.

Cyber Monday Sale Starting Late Tonight!

I was a little slow on the black Friday sale *forehead Slap*.

 But better late than never so I am offering a coupon code actually starting tonight. for 10% off all orders in my shop and it lasts until Tuesday morning weee!

The code is CYBERMONDAY just type that in or copy and paste in the coupon area when you make your order! Super easy.   I have posted lots of new beads too!

Beads Fresh Out of the Kiln

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

New Stuff New Start New Summer!

 I have been so busy with the kids and school the past couple of months that I have left my poor blog alone.  So now that summer has started  I will have more time to keep this poor blog updated. 

Here a some pictures of what I posted in my shop to today to kickstart the blog back up! Going to start rakuing again this summer and I have some non bead ceramic items in the works that I am excited about too!

Favorites

These turned out so pretty.  I had set them aside for myself, but then I realized I was hording my treasure again.  I decide to put them up in my shop. I can always make more right??

I really like how this double sided large bead came out. Especially with that green glaze on it.  I will put this set up in my store tomorrow!

These were also hard to part with but now the too reside in my Etsy shop.

Hippie Beads ... Man

I love how these babies turned out!  I am gonna try and make more. Lets hope the glaze fairies are kind.  These beads definitely tug on my heart strings, I wish I would have had them back in my Grateful Dead days.......

Peace man! Yeah I know I am a dork! These are dual sided with peace signs on one side and hearts on the other.
 Both sets and more are in my Etsy shop! Come on by and check out all my beads and baubles.

Beautiful Porcelain Beads

I was messing with lowfire clay, raku and stoneware clay for so long I forgot how beautiful and amazing working with porcelain clay can be.

 This past week I was able to get a couple of glaze firings in and while it literally takes all day to fire the results are stunning. I have posted some bead sets in my shop... reluctantly, I might add.  I really really wanted to keep them!

My neck is out so I am going to put up some pictures and then go lay down.

Beads Beads Beads!

I just posted a huge amount of my beads in my shops.  I had a huge bag of them and because the beads are my favorite I had been hanging on to them.  Well it was time to let go! So grouped up a bunch last night and this morning I took pictures and have been posting all morning.

If you know anyone who loves handmade beads or would like to add something earthy and beautiful to there work, please have them stop by!  My Artfire Shop  My Etsy Shop.
