What I'm Up To...

For the past few days I have been making rings and earring in preparation for the summer market and to currently list on etsy.  I have so much fun making these rings and earring because of the variety of colors and shapes of the flower cabochons.

Also, I love the new ring bases that I have found and can't wait to see how the new styles and better quality go over with my customers.  I hope they love them as much as I do.

Let me know if you see anything you like.  I can send it to you instead of posting on etsy.  The rings are $20 each except for the larger ($25).  They are all adjustable.

I cannot believe it is March already.  In just a few weeks I will be signing up for the summer market and then in July we are off and running.  I'm really excited about the market this summer.  Nona and I had a great summer last year and can't wait to implement new ideas for our booth and our products.  Hope to see you there.

Owl Obsession...

This is one of several owls I created last year as Christmas Tree Ornaments.  I had such a great time designing and creating these, it just increased my adoration of owls.  Now I have a creative desire to find many ways to incorporate owls into my work. So I get excited anytime I see others works using an owl design..

This collage gives me so much inspiration and many ideas for different directions I can go to incorporate owls throughout my designs.  I love the crochet owls and would love to learn how to make them.  I also think the white owl with red eyes and red stitching is so sweet.  I'm not certain what it is, but the design is really fun.  (photo borrowed from flickr)

How cute are these felt owl ornaments?  I love them.  They are so charming and fun and I really love the addition of the branch that the owls are standing on.  I also think that the stitching is really cute.  For some reason I really like contrasting stitching. These are different from mine in that they are handmade felt, where I use already pressed felt. (photo borrowed from flickr)

This owl (photo borrowed from flickr) is similar to my design, but I love how it is made into a wall hanging.  What an adorable idea for a kids room or nursery.

These little cuties would make an adorable card.  Maybe that is the purpose in which they were created.  I have been practicing with a stamped owl and shading with copic markers as you have seen in earlier post.  I am still very much in the learning process, but I'm loving every moment.  Looking forward to my skills increasing.  (photo borrowed from flickr)

Playing with Pinks.....

This is a collection of new flower rings... I was playing around with pinks.  I found a new supplier that I love for my ring findings.  The quality is so much better than what I was using.  And they have a great selection of colors and a variety of styles.  These rings are $20 each (the larger is $25) inclusive of tax.  If you are interested you can either email me or checkout my etsy shop.  There is a link in the right column.  I make these rings in a variety of colors as well.  They are all adjustable and really fun to wear.

Tomorrow I think I will finish up working on the headbands I started earlier this week.  I will post photos of those soon.
