Marc has a new Etsy store!!

My husband, Marc, is now an official Estian. He makes beautiful hand screened silk ties. I've been helping him get organized, think up design concepts, and post listings. He got his first sale within 8 hours of posting his first 4 ties! How freakin' exciting is that!! He was ecstatic and I was really happy for him. It sure is a good feeling when someone purchases art that is handmade by you. Check out his store: Mr.TieDicker.

I was featured in a lovely treasury today named "Silver Bells". Check it out.

2nd Pair for a Friend.

My wonderful and dear friend, Alicia, went to Florida for work recently and I dearly miss her. So, I made these earrings for her using the same technique as the ones that I made with the clear crystal, only I used brighter crystals and antiqued them when I was finished. I think they are beautiful and I put them in the mail for her yesterday. I hope she will love them.

Inner Beauty Earrings Tutorial

I've been working hard on putting together the tutorial for these lovely earrings. This past Saturday I had my brother's girlfriend model the earrings for me. So, I wanted to come by and post a couple of the pictures that we took. I have to say that I think they turned out really well. :) I should have the tutorial ready within the next week or two. I'll be selling it at my Etsy storefront. It's all so exciting!
