Is it me or are you feeling like everything is (and yes I realize it IS) a trend?
For awhile I thought I could never do anything correctly with my gorgeous Briolette Gemstone beads. Hmmm, wire wrapped sterling oxidized then buffed, drizzled on chains, earrings, you name it, they've done it. So now that it seems "unpopular" these druzy's are poping up left and right.
I even saw them at Michael's and hey - it's cool. But I am missing something with this Jewelry trend. What happened to being creative? I realize it's a risk for an artist but c'mon I am starting to feel like it IS ebay for Artists. And it makes me think I need to remove and lower my listings/pricings, but I don't.
One day my item will sell.
On a hip positive note I am blessed to have made friends with several online new pen pals from Etsy. I love it. I missed making new friends. I had my head stuck somewhere and I finally removed it.:)
Last week sold nothing - :( The week before I made this awesome Chakra bracelet custom piece for a new penpal friend Jessie, (Paix), and I am so happy she likes it. Have to to a few more tweeks on it. But we opted for
A 6 stranded patina'd sterling wire wrap (used with my signature links like here:)

and only gemstone beads. (Need to take the Blueberry Quartz out - doesn't make the cut).
but instead of being a boring rainbow bracelet the client and I decided on a piece that could double up as a 3 stranded choker necklace, 2 stranded princess necklace, 1 stranded long tie up necklace or a 6 stranded chakra bracelet ;)
I did all the wirework by hand less one segment of sterling cable chain.
Patina'd tumbled cut all the headpins and jumprings, and torched pickled, and I was super happy with the final outcome.
Since I am loosing my mind right now and realizing I have more login buttons than I can keep up with even on my password document I keep, I have now just jumped on a new blogger.
Right here
And I apologize to anyone that is super annoyed with my forgetfullness! IS THAT A WORD?
Have a great week :)
