New Stuff on Etsy!

Can you believe it?

Yup, just loaded these two new items in my store!



This is a great necklace, with that got to love it right angle weave flexible "chain".

I had finished this piece a while back and just never got around to getting it posted out there!



And I created these this weekend!

The beaded beads were an experiment with some left over materials, and now that I know they work, I have some other ideas to do using the same technique (stay tuned!)

Going Bald for a Cause

Thanks so much to those of you who have already contributed to my "going bald"!

In case you missed that post, all of this long hair will be cut off and my head shaved in the next couple of weeks as a show of "solidarity" for kids with cancer.

In addition, because the hair is long enough it will be going to an organization that makes wigs for kids that have lost their hair.... YEAH!

If you'd like to support the cause with me, use this link to join me in this worthy cause.

The last of the eye glass cords

at least for now.

This one is more matte and pearl finish beads, which does look a bit different.

Just listed this morning on Etsy, available by using the link at the top right of the blog.

I'm not sure what I will be doing next. I had done some drawings for a custom piece on request, but I've had no response from the customer, so I'm just thinking that piece is not going to happen.

Time to do some thinking about what piece to work on now

One more item finished and listed!

Ta Da!

Another finished object!

I'm getting pretty quick at creating these, and I'm just about to the end of the building as I'm not planning to purchase any more pieces to make these until some of them find homes.

This one has been listed on my Etsy Shop, so for more details you can use the link at the top right of the blog!

Eye Glass Cord complete

This piece is 22 inches long -- keep your glasses handy for when you need to read that fine print!!

Just use the Etsy Shop link at the top right of the blog to see more details (or to order it for yourself or as a gift for a friend!)
