For chocolate lovers!

I recently listed this gorgeous, chocolate inspired bracelet in my ArtFire studio.

The chocolate bracelet sent me searching in ArtFire to see what other luscious, chocolatey things I could find.  I made a collection with all these other wonderful, chocolatey designs. I was so excited when I saw my collection in the ArtFire email with their daily collection. Here it is!

Isn't that cool!?

4/19/2012 update - and my collection made to ArtFire's front page today!  Whoopie!

New earrings!

I just added new earrings to both my Etsy and Artfire shops. More spring colors!

Lavendar Czech glass cones

Gorgeous Murano glass with 24K gold leaf!

Spring has sprung - some lovely designs in spring colors!

I'm still working my way through custom orders.  Here are 2 bracelets I finished recently. 

I made this pen as a special request and sold these earrings before I had time to list them online.

And I did list a couple of new earrings ...

Venetian Murano bead bling!

OK - I'm finally starting to get my act together.  I'm finishing up some custom design orders and getting pictures taken of the gorgeous beads I picked up while I was visiting Murano Italy.  Here's a design I just finished up using my favorite of all the beads I got there (they have purple and gold - what more needs to be said!).  The Viola Wrap bracelet with these gorgeous venetian murano beads and ametrine is available in my ArtFire studio. 

And here are a few of the other beads I got in Murano...

  

 

I can't wait to make more designs with these beauties!

Free beads!

I won the monthly drawing by Magpie Gemstones for free beads last month and I finally caught up enough to take pictures and share them with you!  I haven't had time to make anything with them - but that will happen soon - after I finish up some custom orders.  Here are the fun beads and split rings she sent.

brown lava, turquoise and nickel free split rings

I think I have some wonderful Kazuri beads that will go nicely with the brown lava and I'll accent them with copper beads.  Turquoise goes with so many things!  I just have to decide what I'll combine these with.
