Inspiration

I got my inspiration for this pendant 

From this landscape

(I took this picture while driving through the Manti-La Sals in Moab, Utah)

Gotta get busy!

I'm nervous about selling my stuff at the HOPE festival, and have started cranking out some earrings. I don't even know how much stuff I should make to have on hand. EEEP!


This is what I made today (during back-to-back-to-back shifts working in the library. UGH-never doing that again!)

 

Sorry, the quality of the image isn't super fabulous....

HOPE festival fundraiser for CAPSA

This past week I received a random email from one of my mom's coworkers, seeking vendors to sell at the HOPE festival on October 27th. (For more info about the HOPE festival, click HERE)

I'm really excited to participate in this, as it will be my first time setting up a booth and selling my stuff. WHOO!  Also, this event will support our local CAPSA office (all vendors are donating 25% of their sales to CAPSA)

So if you are local, please attend this event to support CAPSA, as well as the SAAVI office on campus.
The festival will run from 10am to 7pm in the Taggart Student Center Sunburt Lounge (2nd floor)

And 10 pairs of new earrings

I really like how this tree turned out!
The larger tree on the left clearly shows the tree. The inset image compares the size to a quarter.

3 Memory Wire Bracelets

Whipped up a few bracelets this past week.

 

The blue and purple one is all glass beads. The middle one is a double stranded shell bracelet. The white one has small plastic 'pearl' beads.

Happy Birthday Sister Dear

My older sister asked me to make a matching bracelet and necklace for a pair of earrings that she picked out from my stash.
Here are the earrings:

Here is a picture of the necklace:

And the bracelet, with a closer view of the middle of the necklace:

The necklace has a magnetic clasp, so if either of her two little ones yank on it, it'll pop right off, no big deal.  The bracelet is memory wire, so again, if either of the tykes tug on it, it'll just uncoil and slip off her wrist. Also, the bracelet has no things hanging off that could get caught on the kids or clothes. And no sharp points on the danglies on the necklace.  These will be about a month late, but I was waiting for an idea for the necklace to come to me. And... I think they turned out great :)

Last Night

Things got a little boring at my place, and look what I whipped up.

For those of you that are local, I will be posting some of my stuff for sale this weekend at The Gem, Rock & Bead store in Providence, next to Casper's Ice Cream and Stadium 8.
