Joined the Etsy world

Well I finally did it, Opened an etsy store. For those of you that are unaware of etsy it is an online shopping mall. Its very exciting and scary at the same time. When you start making jewellery one always wonders if its good enough, if people will like it, if people will buy it.......... Well i guess now I will find out.

As you can see I have added a mini store on my blog but you can also visit my store here

Kumihimo and Stamping

Well just when I think I am on top of things I look at my blog at low and behold its nearly two months since my last blog. I havent really been doing alot of beading/jewellery making since the last post as I have been doing a little bit of reading (well its been a little more of an obsession, lol). At my last bead me though I got a chance to give kumihimo a go and loved it. Here is my first bracelet made.

Now for the next adventure, I finally brought some stamping supplies as I have always wanted to give it a go. Thanks to beaducation and there wonderful service I am now on my way. So I had a little practise and then decided to give a blank a go. My spacing and design stamp need a bit of work but I think it turned out quite good for a first go. Oh and the daugther loves it.

Sorry about the dodgy pic's but due to the shine its a little difficult photograph.

Creative Space update and more

In my last post 'My creative space' I posted a picture of my next adventure into the world of wire. Well I have finished and I am really happy with how it turned out. The first two pics are the process.

Now for the finished product

The next are a few pictures from my lastest challenges. Firstly was a wire monthly challenge with my qld beading friends. Secondly was my entry for Australian Beaders group on facebook. I loved what I created but sadly I didnt place.

So now onto my next challenge :)
