Busy fingers


My grandmother was very important to me when when I was growing up.  She was born in 1903, and the lean times of the 20's and 30's made her very thrifty, and gave her a strong work ethic.
I've had very busy hands lately, filling my jewelry shop with many treats for your holiday shopping!
The Jet Holiday sale starts very soon , so please take a look and pick out your favorites!

New Etsy Treasury


It was a busy week, and I've been absent.  here are some new earrings I created using some of the beads from our team swap.  It does not show very well in the photo, but the tube beads have a fiber-optic effect.
I was able to make a new treasury tonight.  I picked some great creations from members of the JET team, Jewelry on Etsy.  It's hard to pick only a few items to spotlight.  Everyone is just so darn creative.
You can see my picks here.

Unexpected Jewelry!


Today I am writing about one of the JET team members, Vintage Jewelry Box.  Not your usual jewelry.  Maybe it has something to do with the climate in California? Wooden pendants, buttons and beads in very interesting combinations.  Everything very creative~!  I had trouble picking a photo for here, it was all very exciting and fresh.

I finally got lucky today and made a treasury on ETSY.  It's a list of handpicked items to share with the world.  I picked from my creative friends in New Jersey!  I had to include one of my new creations.  I am so impressed everyday with all the creative ideas we all bring to life.

Cool Batik!


Time to blog about another member of the etsyNJ team.  Susan has just wonderful batik prints! The batik process makes each item truly a one of a kind creation.
The idea of batik print cards is very unusual to me.  Her pillows look like they will give you sweet dreams on the couch!
Here is a picture of one of her beautiful creations.. be sure to check out her shop!

Just beautiful and elegant jewelry with gemstones in sterling and , gold filled and 14KT.  Rebecca  has a great creative spirit and a wonderful eye for design.  I think this necklace with smoky quartz and pink garnet is one of her most interesting designs!

meeting Etsians


I met Rachel yesterday.  I had posted about a leather jacket which had become too raggedy to wear any longer but could be recycled.  Rachel responded and we live close so I was able to pass it on!  As artists, it is hard to throw things away because we always see the potential creative ways to use things.  Think before you toss!  And if you can't use it- maybe one of your fellow etsians might love it!
