Treasury

It is sad that after 2 or 3 days the treasury page on Etsy dissapear. Another of my journals have been featured earlier this week but only for a day as the curator was alternating between many artists.

I do hope that other curators will choose to feature my work as I could see the featured item received many more visitors...the more visitors, the more chances that one will become a buyer. That's the purpose isn't it?

I have a few more beads ready and another miniature journal but no time to take decent pictures so I won't be able to list before next week.

Etsy's Treasuries

How cool is that? I've been featured in a Treasury page, chosen by Glasfaden who's an artist I admire. I am a happy camper and keep my fingers crossed so that will bring me some sales.

New beads

I just can't get enough of those little bones. The added silver foil give them a an ancient look, artifact-like and my imagination run wild as to how to wear them. I have one of them on a chain, as a pendant, one on wire for a bracelet and am tempted to make another bracelet. They are a great conversation piece.

Hibernation

What a better day to light the torch than after such a storm. Seeing so much snow makes me cold. I spent my Sunday evening and Monday morning making beads and am now waiting for the kiln to finish it's job. I'll have new beads to list on Etsy tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, here's a little idea of what we got on Saturday. The fence is 5 feet high and the pool 52 inches. Keep cool!

Stormy Saturday

It's almost scary...snow, sleet, wind... as we long for Spring, we are having the worst storm of the winter. At least, we still have power and I can surf Etsy. I succeeded in obtaining a Treasury. You have to be on Etsy just at the right time to click on the button to obtain one. Then, you enter all the items you want to show the world. I choose some of my favorite sites and showed very colorful items that worth seeing, in my opinion of course. You can see my first treasury here.

So little time

I always hope that I will have more time after this meeting or that appointment... and well, I still can hope. Beside working on pictures for Etsy. I am showing this picture here, some eggs beads, because that little set sold within minutes of listing it on Etsy so very few people got to see it. I plan to light the torch this coming week end and want to do some focal beads....if time permits. Then, I plan also to list from my orphan box.

New work

Finally, I took time to make some more journals. From the beginning, I wanted to add my lampwork beads to the stitching or otherwise but until now, I though the beads were too big to be easy to incorporate. Next time I sit to the torch, I sure will make some flat beads and try to design something fitted especially for a perticular journal.

Meanwhile, here is how I incorporated some beads. The leather is a chesnut color. Those journals will be listed on Etsy tomorrow.
