Finally, I Have Internet!

Hi Everyone!

I finally have my house wired for wireless internet! After weeks of frustration with internet problems, I will finally be able to connect at any time!


It has been awhile since I have been able to make a new post on the blog here, so I wanted to show one of my newest designs.

I just did this new design. This is the front side of the necklace.

And this is the back side of the necklace. The face pieces are reversible! I think that this is a fantastic design!
I hope you all are doing great and all is well.

New Items Available On Etsy!

Wild Woman Ceramic Pin
This Wild Woman Pin is a must have in any collection! I hand craft each piece out of a high fire paper clay. The paper clay makes the bead light and sturdy. (Not nearly as heavy as you think!) Not a lot of breakage with this ceramic piece!
I first created the fabulous dress bead to create a sense of movement. I then wire wrapped the pin in one length of wire to create the legs, arms, and the hair. I finished with twisting the hair and shaping it and included the seed beads on the arms and legs.
It looks great on a lapel or as an adornment on a hat. I have also had some use the pin on their screen door. Just pin it thru the screen and you'll never forget that it is there again!
The piece is 5 inches (12.7 centimeter) in height and 1 1/2 inches (3.81 centimeter)in width.It is white and orange in color with Brass colored wire and silver lined clear glass beads.
The ceramic beads are on a kilt type pin. The pin is wired straight thru the beads, making it impossible for the pin back to come off.



Gold Heart Ceramic Earrings
These Heart Earrings are a must have for any earring colletion!
I hand craft each piece out of a high fire paper clay. The paper clay makes the hearts light and sturdy. (Not nearly as heavy as you think!) Not a lot of breakage with these ceramic pieces!
The hearts are 1 3/4 inches (4.445 centimeter) in height and 1 1/8 inches (2.8575 centimeter) in width.

Emerald Green Ceramic Heart Necklace
This is a necklace that should be in your collection! I hand craft each piece out of a high fire paper clay. The paper clay makes the bead light and sturdy. (Not nearly as heavy as you think!) Not a lot of breakage with this ceramic piece! I will not make another like it. So you won't meet your self walking down the street.
The piece is a heart that is 1 1/4 inches (3.175 centimeter)in height and 1 1/2 inches (3.81 centimeter) in width.It is emerald green and cream in color with white accents.
The heart is 2 sided, one with a smooth finish and the other with a great pattern. It is 17 inches (43.18 centimeter)in length. A fantastic length to sit right in the opening of any type of shirt!
This is not a choker!
It is made with Hematite beads and glass seed beads. It had a special silk finished rubber tubing in black that is a great finish to this casual necklace. The necklace is finished with a lobster claw clasp.
I've been busy! I'm preparing for a big show, Pittsburg's Three River Festival. I am in the first 5 day section of the 11 day show.
I had a nice show in Louisville, KY. It was located at The Summit and had perfect weather.
Off to work some more. I'm leaving in the morning. Hope everyone hasa great weekend!
