More Religious Necklaces

I finally got a little bit of time to do some serious work on my jewelry.  These are now available in my Etsy shop!

 

Religious Necklaces

New items in my Etsy shop!  I finally had some time to sit down and wire wrap some beads!!

My Own Worst Enemy

Okay, I have been a bit ridiculous about blogging.  Months go by and I don't post a thing.  I haven't finished any jewelry or finished painting any furniture in quite some time.  I can't make excuses anymore.  I hold myself back.  I always have.  I really don't know why!  Is it fear of success?  Is it because I am comfortable where I am at?  Hmmm....

So, here's my plan.  I am going to make sure that I post SOMETHING at least once a day.  It may not be spectacular or even very interesting, but I have to dedicate myself to doing this.  I am also making sure that I do at least one thing toward finishing either a piece of jewelry or a piece of painted furniture. I have to hold myself to this and put it right in my schedule, otherwise I will just fall of the face of the internet again!  Holiday bazaar's are coming up and I need to get some inventory!

See ya tomorrow!

Madonna and Child Necklace with Vintage Rhinestones!

My newest addition to my Etsy shop and my new favorite of all the jewelry that I have ever created.  I don't know what it is about this piece, it just speaks to me.  It is my favorite Madonna and Child image, but then again maybe it's all the bling!!

Simple Faith Series

A little bit more inexpensive version of my soldered pendants for folks that like to keep it simple.

St. Theresia Vintage Rhinestone Necklace

I tried to get some more jewelry done this weekend but my resin pour didn't work out as well as I'd hoped.  Some pieces did, others didn't make the cut.  I am very picky about what I sell in my Etsy shop.  This is one piece that did make it.  I added a vintage rhinestone piece from a necklace I found in an antique shop.  I hand wrapped white howlite, clear quartz and rhinestone rondelles.  It turned out just lovely, don't you think?

Religious Jewelry on Etsy!

New religious jewelry on Etsy!  Beautifully handmade bezels embellished with vintage rhinestones!  Yummy jewelry!  I am so excited to be creating again!!  I have missed it so much.  I can't do a no brainer job and am so relieved to have quit and start getting back to me.  I may not be rich, but at least I am happy!

Birthday Party Bird Necklace

For the kid in you! For the birthday girl! For the girl that loves life and believes life is a party!

One Crazy Summer

It has been one crazy summer! I have been bogged down at work for the last month and have not had any time in my studio or out on the road to search for treasures. My Etsy shop and my Artfire shop are almost empty. I feel like a rat in a cage right now, but this too shall pass. I apologize to all of my customers who are anxiously waiting for their custom orders and I greatly appreciate their patience. It shouldn't be too much longer before I can get back in there and fire up my torch! My son is moving to Denver on August 28th and after he leaves, I'm hoping to take a break Labor Day weekend and enjoy it with my family at the cabin and then get back to creating.
