'Tis Officially the Season

Thanksgiving is over and now we are on to Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho!! I am working on getting in to the holiday mood by creating some holiday jewelry and decorations. This year I decided to make some soldered glass ephemera collage ornaments with some beautiful angel and St. Nick images I have been saving for something special. I used scalloped tape around the edges and high quality solder with a touch of real silver in it. I used twisted and plain silver tone wire to hand form the hooks and filigree hangers. Many have genuine chandelier crystals and other beads attached. They were fun to make. I hope people like them. I have started adding them to my store today. More coming in the next couple of days!

Do My Soldered Glass Tape Measure Earrings Measure Up?

Today I was honored to have another piece of jewelry featured in someone's Treasury collection on Etsy. It's a fun treasury featuring art made from rulers, tape measures and the like. Thanks 5erg for selecting my soldered glass earrings titled "Merry Measure". To see the actual Treasury full size, click the title of this post. Note, it will only be available until 10/18/08.

Not a Trick! It's a Treat! ...Handmade Fall Stuff

October is probably my favorite month because it is filled with the scent of Fall which I adore. The changing of the leaves, the blustery wind, the surprise sunny but crisp cold days sprinkled in here and there.... I love it all.

This is my first fall since starting the jewelry business so I am excited to come up with some pretty designs for the season. I have several pieces in the works which I will be posting here and in my store soon.

In the mean time, I wanted to share some pretties made by other folks that I have spotted around the web. Happy Fall Ya'll!!
