you should have some!
I am hooked on making bracelets, in particular chunky bracelets.
It must have something to do with the season, and our change of clothing. We find ourselves shortening our sleeves, or even taking our sleeves right off! A perfect canvas is exposed (even behind a billowing 3/4 sleeve) for showcasing a fantastic bracelet!
Pattern. Chunky. Wood. Funky. Colour.
In particular (but not exclusively) I have been making bracelets on a clear stretchy cord (from what I have seen, and tried, this cording makes the most inconspicuous and tight knots). The great thing about stretchy bracelets is that they are so easy to slide on (no fiddling with clasps or toggles!) and they don't slide too much around your wrist...making it easier to sip your fave summer drink!
Enjoy!

Sale on Turquoise!
It's hard to think of an original sale idea for Etsy...
But I just came up with this one on my own:
But I just came up with this one on my own:
10% off all turquoise PLUS an extra .09 cents off to celebrate the new year!
I will be adding more turquoise pieces throughout the duration of the sale (which ends on January 10, 2009)
a "wow" moment
I love it when I create a gEM's piece that makes me say, "Wow!" This is my latest "wow":
Now comes the hard part: deciding to sell it, as opposed to keeping it for myself; deciding how much to sell it for. I don't have a hard and fast rule for pricing my jewelry, and it is especially difficult when a piece, such as this bracelet, is unlike any others that I currently have for sale.
Sometimes I rely on the help of C-Dazzle...*hint hint*
It was pointed out to me recently that some of my Etsy shop pieces are priced "too fair". I hear this often in person-to-person sales as well. I find it hard to believe that sometimes if the price is too low, it will not sell. Putting a price on my time has always seemed foreign to me...it isn't as if I was forced to create.
This is an unofficial photo - properly presented photos will follow in my Etsy shop!
This piece defies the customary colour combinations - admittedly, it is more of a trendy piece, than an heirloom!
