Etsy Treasury From My Favorites...

I am drawn to blues - teals - aquas…
The blue green patinas have me…
So I created this treasury from just a few of my favorites on Etsy and wanted to share it with you:

I have shared a link to this treasury over on the Delaware Etsy Street Team Blog as part of the weekly "Delaware Treasury Tuesday" post.

Oh, these treasuries are fun…

Next I would love to work on one for the artists participating in the BOC open studio on March 6th…

Emergence...

I have started to list the new Porcelain Lepidoptera Butterfly Pendants up in my Etsy shop…

Today is "Treasury Tuesday" over at our Delaware Etsy Street Team Blog, where we are trying to help promote our team members as well as the arts in Delaware through team activities…

One of our members, Rebecca Harkin of ChirpAndBloom, created this Treasury
Warmth and Patina:

Which features one of my listings for my new Crusty Porcelain Tiny Pendants…
And right now it is on page 2 of the Treasuries…
Wonder how far it will go? I think front page!!!

Click on over and check it out.

And by the way, if you want to do a treasury and it has anything to do with Delaware (Um - I live in Delaware… just throwing that out there ;). You can add your link to our DEST Weekly Treasury Tuesday Blog Post.

I'm hoping to get a couple of treasuries made tomorrow - one for DEST and one for Beads of Clay…
They are addictive…

Here is a link (DEST themed, but you can make it your own) to help you make one and get a photo of it.

Ideas For Using Silks...

There is a new book called

"A Jewelry Accord, Making Jewelry Using Cording, Ribbon and Lace" 

in the works by a couple of fantastic Jewelry Designers…

Lorelei Eurto and Erin Siegal

They have a companion blog going which I highly recommend following:

I don't know about you...

But I can't wait to get that printed book in my possession so I can have some visual inspiration and a few tips and techniques to add to my growing jewelry making skills!

There is just something to being able to sit with a book or magazine in your favorite chair…

 A warm beverage of choice near by (it's winter - warm anything is welcome!)…

And get into finding your muse amongst the pages.

My muse can start to take form in visualizing something…

Then she starts to show herself more as techniques are learned…

And as I am working through a project, she shows herself fully through ideas that stream out of my heart and head through visions of projects that can be.

She is very elusive though…

I must start to keep a sketch book and drawing utensil with me at all times while designing

A big Thank You to the girls at A Jewelry Accord for posting a wonderful blog post about the silks I carry in my Etsy Shop and my Website.

Here are a couple of my favorite OOAK color combos from my Etsy shop…

OOAK Random Color Grouping 51

Sea Shore Knot Bundle (made from stock colors).

These bundles allow you to get a quick selection of colors to fool around with in your jewelry design.

I also have added a bunch of listings where you can pick your own color palettes in specified quantities.

With over 75 colors - there are endless color palettes to be created!

You can also visit my website and pick whatever combination of colors and types (make sure to hit add to cart within each color section - you'll see what I mean).

My website is best for larger orders or orders with lots of different silks because it all goes into a cart directly vs you sending me the colors in a message.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have fun designing or buying handmade jewelry with these beautiful silks!
