Behind the Times

Hi everyone. Well, I'm behind my schedule of finishing pieces I've been teasing you with, so I thought I'd show you goodies I'll be posting this week on my Etsy site.

First up is this pair of earrings featuring wonderful pumpkin beads I call "punks". The glass used is Red Roof Tile which produced a deep, smoky orange for something different than your usual orange. I just love this color, especially with the grey-green tendrils that are on all sides of these plump beads.

Then, to continue the holiday theme, I have a SnowGent and SnowLady in necklace form. Their little mufflers are so cute and go all the way around their necks!

There's been much going on around here that has pulled me away from my studio and now it is November, so I HAVE to get back on track. The plan is to post some destash holiday charms in sterling silver in my MomsArt shop and to finish that new line of cupcakes I KEEP talking about!!!

Stick with me, it'll be worth it,

Hey, Punkin

Mmmm, hmmmm.  It's pumpkin time.  And in the bead world that means getting ready NOW for Halloween and Autumn.

So as part of my destash, I've added lampwork beads crafted by the hands of independent U.S. artisans.

 

This week I've got several styles of amazing pumpkins, a fabulous witch hat and coming up later, acorns...yep, in glass!  Everything you need to make yummy items with elegant novelty beads....slurp!

BOO!

I wanted a black & white Halloween this year, but when I was ready to paint the punks, discovered I had no black paint after all. I wanted to get these out on the porch, so I dug out the colors I had...brown, pink and purple.

I'll have to plan ahead a little better next time. They still turned out cute nonetheless.
We live on a long court with only a couple of small children, so we haven't had trick-or-treaters
in a very long time so my entertainment this year was watching my son get ready for his costume party.
He was a video game zombie...eek!

I hope you had a good Halloween. Now it's time to get ready for Thanksgiving...sheesh!

Autumn Sale and Topaz

Beginnings Bracelet in Topaz is now available for your Autumn and Holiday needs.
I love how the light shines through this particular color of Swarovski crystal.

Topaz is the birthday stone for November, and this slender bracelet is perfect for birthdays,
anniversaries and holiday gifts.

I'm having a nice, big fat sale on Autumn jewelry in my Etsy shop. Aren't these glass acorns awesome?
They are the colors of candy caramels and oh so pretty.

I have plenty of pumpkin jewelry as well.
The beads are so pretty that the jewelry turned out quite elegant rather than just another novelty.
You'll be very pleased with how pretty they are.

So come and enjoy the sale to pump up the volume on your holiday wardrobe!
