Blog Ads

If you are new to my blog, I just wanted to mention again that I do offer Ad space on my blog side bar.  If you are interested in possibly reserving ad space, please contact me .  If you have had ad space in the past and notice your ad is no longer up, it's because it's been a while since I've heard from you. Contact me if you'd like to renew!  I have been pretty relaxed in the past about keeping up on the ads, but I am going to try to do a better job at keeping track of it.

Here are the details: 
I accept ads for Handmade bead artisans only- which includes any beading or jewelry component that is made by hand by individual artists in their studios, generally made in small batches. Art beads are NOT made in factories or in mass quantities.


Ad Space is $30 for 1 month, and $50 for 2 months. 

I get approximately 20,000 page views per month.

You create the ad, which should be 125 x 125 pixels in size.


I have been told by ad holders that the traffic they receive from the ad is significant so that is good news!  If you are interested or want more information, please let me know.

And the Winner is....

Winner- Please email me with your mailing address!

Looking forward to Mondays yet?

Hey whatyaknow!? I'm being fairly consistent with the book reviews/giveaways on Mondays! What better reason to help everyone look forward to their Mondays by doing these fun little video reviews. Gotta warn ya, these are completely unscripted. Maybe that's not the best way to do a book review, but that's just how I roll.

Here is today's giveaway/review:

Good Luck!

Just a regular Thursday

Just doing what I do.
On a cold Thursday afternoon in the studio.
I find it VERY bizarre lately- when I find a color palette for my first initial creation of the day, it ends up being the color palette of the WHOLE DAY. Do you have that happen to you? I feel like all of these completely coordinate with each other.  It's just Bananas.

 Wanted to show case this new tin I got, so I did a riveted disc necklace with a little bit smaller discs that I normally do for this style.  These are 3/4" in diameter. I riveted the floral tin to teal cross-hatched tin from an old cookie tin. I created the brass infinity links with some brass wire. This is an improvement to the design, as this helps the discs to not flip as much. I added a pewter tag, off center on purpose.


 Elephants with Top Hats!? Where the Hell does Jade Scott find these things! My gosh I just love it! I added this onto one of my knotted necklaces with a rich teal, lime, magenta color palette.



SOLDI know, mmmhmmmm. that was quick! This Golem Studio Lentil bracelet always is a hot seller.


 RESERVEDRiveted Tin pendant on Riveted leather strap with Mary Harding Flower charms and Pewter bird charm.


A new style of earrings, that I really really seriously am smitten with. Just lovethese gorgeous blue Sunset Dumortierite with the riveted leather! 

 And finally this bad boy. Yup, this might fall into that category of Most Favorite, Best Thing I ever did make myself with my hands. Riveted leather strap, Watering Can pendant, and flower motif- this necklace is just so me. I love it.

Book Winner....

I can't Stop KNOTTING

I got a little carried away but they turned out so cute and I am really fond of these new Knotted Necklaces. I used up some hoarded Jade Scott charms, and some other great artisan made beads for these beauties. Each one uses linen cording, which I knotted each of the beads on one by one.  A time consuming process but one that really yields a fabulous end product! Each one also incorporates a little signature Leather embellishment!

These are all now listed in MY ETSY STORE!

Kiss and Tell

I believe in pink. 
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. 
 I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. 
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
