New Shop, New Friend on Etsy

Well for sometime now I have been taking card making & jewelry workshops at the Pascal Senior Center. It's been a lot of fun.  Besides the lovely cards and the beautiful jewelry I have come home with, I also found a friend. Susan Brown the instructor. 

In our discussions about handmade things, we discussed Etsy and I encouraged her to open a shop there since I have been there for a number of years and really like the community at large, not to mention making a few sales here and there. LOL

Well she bit the bullet and jumped in with both feet and hence was borne:

The photo above is a bracelet, I'm hoping she will teach us soon...hint hint.

So go check it out! And if you love this bracelet as much as me, go buy it at:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/90966831/bead-crocheted-bracelet

Check These Out

The other day I went over to a friend's house. She has been fiddling with wire wrapping. I asked her to show me since I'm really left-handed it's hard to turn the directions around in my mind. All the directions are written for righty's. 

Well anyway, she sat across the table from me and I could figure it out. 

I was happy with the way they turned out the top left one is a large stone bead. Two of them are from smashed pieces of my china. The other two are from flat stones made to be pendants. In fact they were in settings and I popped them out.

Not sure what I'm going to do with these. I might sell them but then again, I might just save them and give them as gifts. I'll likely put them on some beaded necklace, as I have tons of beads.

Friday Feature-Sierra Winter Designs

So today's Friday feature is not one from one of my Etsy teams or someone who I just happened to find online but someone, extremely talented in my own family!

It is Sierra Winter of Sierra Winter Designs. She is a jewelry designer with some awesome things in her Etsy shop. She recently graduated from the University of Kansas with a BFA in metalsmithing and jewelry designs. Her inspiration comes from her doodles, native american jewelry, and just admiring her surroundings. She says, "The more I play with metal, the more I fall in love with it"
 
Drop by her etsy shop to see her delightful designs. The one pictured here is her most recent item in her shop and one of my favorites.
