New
Project Page
On the right, there's a new listing - my recap
of the Renegade Craft Fair. I know it's detailed
and full of unsolicited advice, but I hope it's entertaining
and useful to someone. Read
it!

Bowl-O-Rama!
I finally finished all of the bowls to display my jewelry in
for both the Renegade
Craft Fair and for my open houses and private trunk
shows this fall. This was the pre-show thing I got really involved
in and it took far more time than I expected. Happily, the time
was worth it, because I'm very pleased wih the results.

Still
pluggin' along working on all of the hoo-ha for the craft show
in 2 days. *gasp* 2 days! It's all going smoothly. Just made
two aprons/tool belt thingies for Alise and I to hold $, receipt
books and lots of pins to hand out! The bowls to hold all of
the jewelry are (neeeeeeaaaarly) done and now I'm waiting for
paint to dry. Literally. Waiting for the paint on my banner
to dry so I can sew on the trim and fringe. My booth is gonna
be bad ass.

Brand-a-Tron
I am a machine. Just made 33 bracelets over the last couple
hours. From left to right: green/lt. blue, white/gray, red/orange,
tan/green, black/lt. blue, pink/green, tan/red, purple/lavender.
All between 7.5" to 8". All $11 each. Contact
Me if you're interested in purchasing. I think I'm
actually burnt out on jewelry making and may just clean
my apartment tonight.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
So I didn't get much cleaning done. I made jewelry. On the left
is one long string of necklace made a brand new beads from today's
order. Turquoise and lime green. Next, I need to separate them
into necklace and bracelets lengths - Let's see how many I get
-
The total length was 168" plus a few more links where needed.
- 3 18" long necklaces ($25)
- 5 16" long necklaces ($25)
- 4 8" bracelets ($15)
- 2 pair earrings ($7)
G'night!

Viva
La Fire Mountain Gems!
Man, I love this
company. I finally got my head around the
show, my inventory and what I wanted to make. Late
Wednesday night, I ordered $200 worth of stuff from them -
mostly basic finding to replenish supply. Got it Fed Exed
overnight. It is in my hot little handed right now.
I think I have to make myself clean the apartment tonight
and then use jewelry making as my reward. All my junk is out
and getting in the way.

A Night's Work
I've been beefing up my inventory for the Renegade
Craft Fair Here's what I made tonight:
a: 4 dark red and silver bracelets. the lighter
beads are miracle beads, so they bounced back the flash and
don't look quite as pinky. Each bracelet is about 7.5" long.
b: 5 peas and carrot necklaces. Plastic beads
with silver findings on leather-like cord. 3 are 16" long, two
are 18" long. $21 each.
c. 3 lemon-lime necklaces and 1 bracelets.
I really want to lick these. Glass beads in a range of yellow
to green. Necklaces are about 17" long and $21 each, bracelet
is about 7.5" and $13.
d. 3 yellow bracelets. I am happiest with these.
Individually the three beads in this bracelet leave me "meh."
Together in this design I totally dig it. Nice undulating design
and it feels good to run your fingers across them. $17 each.
These will only go in the online store, if they don't sell in
my live shows this fall. So, if you're interested in any please
contact
me for details and PayPal payment. Thanks!
