Wishing for Spring

I've been adding many new items to my Etsy shop; goddesses, a manatee, a turtle, and lots of pendants and earrings. My favorite items right now is my Lime Dots series. I just love the orange and green dots on this bracelet. It makes me think of Spring.

Some goodies in my Etsy store!

I had a wonderful time at the West Michigan Bead Expo this weekend. I have listed several items in my Etsy store. Pop in and take a gander!

A Night for Choice

I recently created a necklace for an upcoming fundraiser for Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan. The auction will be this weekend, September 17th & September 18th at the Epic Center in Kalamazoo, immediately following the play, Mitzi's Abortion.

The criteria for the auction was to represent women; their strength, their beauty. One of the most important things for me, and often the most difficult thing to hold on to, is my dreams. For this piece, I created a goddess bead with my favorite glass, Psyche. I crafted all of the sterling silver links myself. I've been holding onto the Bali silver bead with stars and moons for nearly three years. As soon as I heard of this auction, I knew I wanted to create something around it.

Two Etsy Listings

I've actually torched a lot in the past two weeks. I am just very lacksadaisical about taking pictures and (ugh) editing said pictures. I buckled down tonight, and took a lot of pictures and listed two in my Etsy store.

This bead features my new favorite glass, CIM Tamarind. It is a cross between a moss green and brown. YUMMY.

This bead features my all-time favorite glass, Psyche. I love the deep blues of it, and when Psyche is used with ivory, the curdled ivory is awesome.
