Great Winter Trend Colors

As a jewelry designer I am realizing that it extremely important to know what new color trends are coming. Sometimes I baulk at the colors and I'm right and then sometimes I have to kick myself. But at last Winter 2009 colors are right up my
personal color love alley. I love love love rich earthy tones.
Drum roll please:

New this Week

This week was a good listing week for me. I hope you enjoy these new pieces! Let me know what you think.♥
Funky Wood is a mix of different vintage red, oranges, brown and tan wood beads. The different shapes and colors blend together to create this funky piece inspired by the 70's. Funky Wood was strung using two lengths of Fireline to ensure it's durability and finished off with a magnetic silver clasp. It measures 21" in length. You can purchase this bracelet in my Etsy Store.

Cobblestone reminds me of a small town in Nebraska. The up town area has this beautiful cobblestone brick sidewalks. I used 11/0 Delica Triangles in the colors of copper and a deep brick red in a Peyote Stitch. I used a hand woven beaded Peyote tube as a finishing clasp. Cobblestone is 6 1/2" x 1 3/4". The thickness of this beautiful bracelet makes a real statement. You can purchase this bracelet from my Etsy Shop.
When I was a child my grandma had this wicker furniture that was so beautiful. Follow the Wicker Road reminds me of that furniture if it had crossed the yellow brick road. This bracelet is made out of 11/0 Glass Triangles that look and feel like wood. I used my Stain Glass design to create Follow the Wicker Road Bracelet. The bracelet is very light weight and will drape your wrist delicately. Follow the Wicker Road Bracelet features a hand woven Peyote Stitch tube clasp. This bracelet measures 7 1/4" x 1 1/4". You can purchase this bracelet in my Etsy Shop.

This week I also completed my first custom piece.
Do you have new pieces this week? Let me know. I'm always looking for new people to feature in my blog. If your interested let me know ! Happy Crafting♥

I've been neglecting my blog

Happy Memorial Day Weekend all! I've been neglecting my blog because I've been so busy! I've had a really great last two weeks! I was featured in a couple really well put together treasuries. I was also featured on Talent Database's Craft Portal. My biggest accomplishment this week was having Fire Mountain Gems add me to their Notable Artist page. I also completed two and half bracelets; one for my mom's birthday which was made out of size 15/0 emerald Toho beads. I also finally finish my Mardi Gras bracelet which has left me with a sad feeling. I made my Mardi Gras bracelet out of size 11/0 Galvanized Tangerine, Galvanized Hot Pink and Galvanized Light Teal Delicas. I was so excited about this bracelet from the planning to the first bead strung to the final bead.
I just finished Mardi Gras bracelet yesterday. This is the bracelet that I made my mom for her birthday.
Fire Mountain Gem featured me and my Stain Glass Cuff.

Talent Database's Craft Portal Featured my Coal Shimmer Bracelet

What's been going on

Recently Macnider Art Museum asked me if I would be interested in selling some of my jewelry in their gift shop. This is a great honor for me and I dug in right away to make pieces for the shop. In June I will be in their art festival. I have a great deal of work a head of me.
I have completed some new pieces too.

I call this one Coal Shimmer. It was hand woven out of 3mm black cube beads and black Nymo. It is on sale at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10520741








When I started to create the bracelet to the right it reminded me of my mother in law, Wendy. It is my take on RAW. I loved this bracelet so much that I did one in blue too. You can find this bracelet on sale at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10520171
