Best of Creative Jewelry Magazine

I was happily surprised when I bought the Best of Creative Jewelry Magazine the other day because 4 of my pieces (from Creative Jewelry 2010) made the issue!

I have had several requests for my seashell stamped hearts since the magazine hit the stands. I really enjoy making them but was shocked at the cost of PMC3! The price has doubled since I bought it last so I think I will wait until the price goes down (fingers crossed!) to buy anymore. Thank goodness that I had a bag of PMC3 left to work with!

I used liver of sulphur on them last night and completely stunk up my laundry room, but it was too cold to do it outside . This is what I came up with...

I love how each one turns out so unique!

Bead Show Goodies!

Went to a bead show yesterday with my friend Lynn, and as usual we had lots of fun and spent lots of money...um, well at least I did. Lynn usually has more self control than I do! So, thought I would post a pic of my purchases...is it wrong that I enjoy sorting them out and arranging them almost as much as I buying them?!?! I can't wait to create some things with this stash...

Auction for Andrew Thornton

Andrew Thornton is a talented and inspiring artist who also happens to be fighting cancer. The last thing he needs right now is to worry about his mounting medical bills; so there are several of us who are donating an item to be auctioned off to help him with this. I am auctioning off my "Fleur de lis" necklace published in the Fall issue of Stringing magazine. Please leave your bids in the comment section and pass this on to any friends who might be interested. Thank you!

Blog Illiterate...

Yes, that would be me, blog illiterate. In fact, up until a few minutes ago, I was actually "following" myself but luckily I figured out how to remedy that! I am going to try to get better with this and actually post once a week. Uh..I don't know, that may be pushing it...I mean do I really have anything that exciting to say once a week?!?!

I do have some news though! I am collaborating with fellow designer, Marie-Noel Voyer-Cramp, on two necklaces. I have finished my part on one of the necklaces and it will go out in the mail to Marie next week! I can't wait to see how she finishes it and puts her own spin on it. Stay tuned....
