Updates in Etsy Shop
I have added some additional listings to my Etsy shop this afternoon! Here's a preview:
Old Promise
A long, long time ago in a jewelry workshop far, far away (really...it was in Minnesota and I'm in Colorado!) I promised I would post when I made these experimental charms "cute." Because they weren't.
Finally, I have one ready to share. (OK, I got distracted.) As usual, pictures don't do it justice. Here you see the charm quite well, but the larger beads in the wire-wrapped strap don't have the effect that they do in person. I believe they are quartz and they are a beautiful, creamy yellow! The other thing I like is that I feel like I successfully integrated brass into a design with another metal! I added a heat patina to it which softened it enough for my tastes (I don't go for the bright gold tones.) Furthermore, the aging effect of the patina on the brass made it look better with the rustic, tinned charm.

Laptop in the Shop!
My DD broke the screen on my laptop a while back and I have not blogged since then. Well, the repairs are taking FOR-EVER, so I pulled out my old laptop with the missing backspace key, the duct tape over the power cord and the iffy left-click button.
The occasion? I finally opened an Etsy shop so that you can buy pieces that I have made. Yay! Why have these lovelies been hanging in a closet or sitting in a box all this time??? People have asked me...are you selling? Uh, well, I should...I guess. And now I am!
It took me a couple of years to decide to do this. I'm not sure what my big hesitation was, but I know how the idea finally won me over. While I was taking Deryn Mentock's class, "Alchemy of Objects," there were quite a few items that I could not find locally. We were working with "found objects" like coin purses and chandelier crystals. My problem was that I could not FIND my found objects. I was really making an effort, too, haunting the local antique malls. So, my new definition of a found object is now, "anything I purchase on Etsy after midnight." Etsy has been very good to me as a customer, so I'm anxious to see how I rate as a vendor.
