Hand Stamped Ideas for Holiday gifts

I've received great feedback from newly listed items for sale in my Etsy shop.

At the moment, I have personalized charms for those that have their own chain or leather cord. I will be offering these with sterling silver chain in a few days, plus some addtional shapes and sizes to choose from.
One great idea a customer had, and what she was purchasing these for... adding to keychains for gift giving!



Here's another handstamped item, featuring copper rivets and leather bracelet.



Many designs stamps and 3 choices of letter fonts to choose from. Fun, Fun!

Bad Photo Day

The good news. I spent the majority of the weekend creating a few new pieces, concentrating on my leather collection. :):):)
Bad news, all was going fantastice until I tried to photograph them. Today just wasn't my day.
There's something wrong when you spend 4 hours trying to adjust and correct in photoshop...grrrr!!
In any event, I managed to get a few good shots of at least two new items...so here they are

Dangling in the back...another red coral rondelle and signature tag.
All other components comprised of sterling silver.

New Etsy Treasury and a couple new designs

It is so hard to nab a treasury but I persevered this morning. Eyes peeled, barely blinking and ready to pounce on the mysterious fleeting box on the bottom of the window when indeed, an opening is presented!!
My treasury list the many different shades of turquoise, some I never knew existed. I have also featured all Jetteam members in this treasury, so that itself make me feel fantastic.
Enoy!

I have a couple of new listings on my website, I just love these beads!!

Trying something new!

Before I got really into sterling silver jewelry designing, my first venture was to make basic greek leather necklaces and bracelets. That kind of fell my the wayside when I "discovered" sterling silver. But I have decided to reach for it again and tried something a little bit different, using greek leather and lampwork beads. Whatcha think?
