Duets are definitely unique

I just listed a pair of hematite duets on etsy. Duets are earrings for those of us who have two holes in our ears. They are really 2 earrings attached by a small length of chain. Since they are attached you never have to search for the tiny second hole pair that matches the pair you decide to wear. Fun! Take a look on www.gemtwists.etsy.com.

That's all for now. Namaste.

Copper is the "in" thing now

Today I worked on a new line of copper and gemstone bracelet and earring sets. I was really pleased with the results. They are quite striking... may even have to have one for myself! I can't possibly have one of everything I make, so to keep one for myself means I really like it! Watch for a posting of one of these bracelets on www.gemtwists,etsy.com in the near future.

It was a beautiful day in Tennessee today. Unseasonably cool... 80 degrees or so and low humidity. Quite uncharacteristic. Quite wonderful.

Namaste.

Busy weekend, busy day...

I worked most of the weekend on jewelry... on Duets, my line of earrings for multiple pierced ears. I made some lovely crystal ones, as well as gemstone triangles and V's. These are unusual earrings for the more adventurous wearer. Take a look on www.gemtwists.etsy.com under my Duets section.

Today I worked on a variety of earrings and I have many more to go. I so love working with all the different gemstones with all the patterns of nature so beautifully displayed in each unique stone. Yes, I am quite tired from the day's work, but it is a good tired and I feel honored and blessed to be able to do this work.

Have a great night. Namaste.

Thusday's child has far to go

I must certainly be Thursday's child... at least for now... because I definitely have far to go. I worked today on my new Christmas earrings for the upcoming season, although these could be worn all year round, and I have far to go before I am finished. I do make many pairs because the Swarovski crystal from which they are made will make these very popular. This year I am making crystal angels. All Swarovski crystal, the wings have an aurora borealis finish... makes them especially glittery and beautiful. But as I said, these angels could be worn any time of the year.

I also have made crystal Christmas tree earrings as I have for a couple of years... in clear AB (aurora borealis... especially glittery, you know), green and red.

Hope to have these finished tomorrow and them on to the next project.

Namaste.

It's really still Wednesday for me

...even though this posts says Thursday. I am just finishing up my day...Wednesday... with this post. I have just started another on-line store at Art Fire. Although it is a limited store with only 10 listings, I hope it will reach yet another group of jewelry lovers. I have just listed 3 new items on Art Fire to bring my total to 10 items now displayed. You may reach that site at http://gemtwists.artfire.com/ or click on the link on this blog that says "Gemtwists at Art Fire". Tonight I listed a sky blue fancy glass bead and Swarovski crystal bracelet, a Cat charm bracelet with bright primary-colored Swarovski crystals, and a pair of classic Black Onyx and sterling silver earrings. Please come by and visit my new store.

Good night and Namaste.

Monday... Monday,,,

...to the tune of that old Mama & Papas tune... Monday, Monday, so good to me. Monday morning, it was all I hoped it would be. I guess that means I got a lot done today. But it was the kind of day I got things taken care of that needed attending to, but not actual product made. Oh, well... if making jewelry was the only thing I had to do to run my small company, it would be sheer pleasure all the time. Tomorrow will be a sheer pleasure day. I have no intention of going anywhere or doing anything other than making jewelry. Yeah! It will be a fun day.

Tomorrow I plan to make "Adorables"... a part of my line of children's earrings... small, petite dangles with tiny, adorable earwires that are just right for little ears. They always come with little plastic ear clutches so they can't be lost, and while they may be worn by grown women with little ears, they are more especially for little girls. I have found some wonderful, little crystal butterflies in several colors that will make fun earrings for the special little girl in your life.

Have a wonderful evening, Namaste.

It's TGIF

Today I made Christmas earrings. Yeah, Christmas in July! I made Christmas trees from Swarovski crystal like I had last year, only I did them in clear crystal, green, and red (new color for this year). I didn't finish so I will be working on them tomorrow also.

When I went to my computer to print labels for the earrings, I found I was out of two colors of ink... I never let myself run out of ink. I guess I should rephrase... I almost never run out of ink. I went to Walmart to get ink... because I am a stickler for completing a task completely, such as labeling and pricing the earrings I finished... but Walmart did not carry my ink. Small towns, you know. So I had to order ink which will take a week or so to get. Irritating. Maybe I should not be so ticky. No doubt I should not be so ticky. :)

I will be working on some new Christmas earrings soon... Angels. Although they could really be worn ear 'round.

Have a great 4th! Namaste.

Beads! Beads! Beads!

I have spent most of the day sorting and putting away beads and supplies I have purchased to make jewelry for the fall shows. It's like I'm on a high. I draw energy from the colors and the patterns and as I would imagine it is with anything addictive, I am now exhausted! A little more sorting tomorrow and I will be ready to get down to business... making jewelry, that is.

I have been listing at least one new item a day on Etsy and the inventory on the site is increasing every day. But there is always something new to put on the site because my show inventory is so large.

Have a great day tomorrow. Namaste.
