January 11:  I have done the update a day early because I am headed out of town late Wednesday (or early Thursday) so I wanted to get a little bit of a jump start.  I've added Large Sprees, Soft Glass Focals, Big Hole Beads and Birds!  Click on the links below:

 

 

If you put your order in Tuesday or early Wednesday I should be able to ship before I leave.

January 5:  After a rough start to the day I will get some new beads up!  Boro mostly - Bar shapes, Focals, and some pocket Gratitude Stones (this batch doesn't have holes).  I'll begin with a few pictures of things I've been working on:

January 4:  The USPS has had a raise in shipping rates - Priority Mail was raised from $4.80 to $4.85.  I think I can leave the First Class rate the same but I did have to raise the International rates by .50 cents.  Both Priority and regular First Class both include Delivery Confirmation (not the International rates though).

  

December 25:  MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!

 

Love, Jenny

 

December 22:  I'll be adding a few things today - first up will be some fun Soft Glass Big Hole Beads!

 

December 20:  I've been playing around a bit and decided to add a few little goodies here and there.  I put up some more Gratitude Stone necklaces and also these little treasures:

 

 and

 

I have also been working on some bird pendant ideas and this is my first one:

 "Determination"

 

She is called Determination because I have been wanting to do this for so long and I finally just sat down and started!  Sometimes starting is the hardest part.  I was bound and determined to overcome my fear of riveting - I have been totally intimidated by the process and guess what... it isn't hard at all!  Well duh Jenny.  I cut out her shape from the copper sheet, added texture and stampings and riveted her wing on.  Anyways, I have lots of ideas stirring in my head so we will see what comes of it.  I just wanted to share her with you!

 

Merry Christmas!

Lots of love,

Jenny

 

December 15:  I have added some new Birds today - check them out here in the Boro section:

 

I'm working on some getting up a few other goodies too, so do check back!

Jenny

 

December 14:  I will have new beads this week but first I wanted to give a shout out to one of my customers who just opened up her Etsy store.  Her store is called Groovy Jewels by Robyn and her work is lovely!  I know this because she gifted me the coolest wire wrapped ring with a lampworked spiral and some sweet polymer clay bird earrings...  love them!  Anyways, I know she is working on getting stock into her store but her first item up is one made with one my Bush Babies!  Check it out here:

GroovyJewelsbyRobyn  And while you are there be sure and add her to your favorites too!

I think that is it for now!  Have a great week!

December 1:  I didn't forget about the update - I was struggling a bit with my website - the pages were loading sooooooooooooo slowly..... I had to wait for my webhost to fix the issue (thank you Alex at Pappashop!).  I have just finished adding a bunch of new Large Sprees and a few Trees done in Boro.  Here are the links:

Jenny

November 23:  I'm adding a few goodies today - first up are a couple of sweet Garden Sprouts!

 

Next up is a BRAND NEW section for some Birdhouse and Birdfeeders!  These are little glass sculptures in the shapes of birdhouse and birdfeeders that have hand forged copper roofs.  They are wired up with hand made copper rings and are ready to hang from a necklace or maybe even your Christmas tree!  Check them out here:

November 22:  I added over 40 new Etched Copper Charms - check them out here:

 

 

Also, I am very excited to share my good news - my Etched Copper Charms will be in the Fall issue of Step by Step Wire Jewelry!!!  I am on page 52.  I thought they did a great job with the picture and the write up as well.  Here is a copy of the cover:

Blessings to all!

November 19:  Good morning!  I'm back from Houston - Len and I had a wonderful time at the HBS Annual Bead Show!  The people in Texas are FABULOUS!!!!!!!  Incredibly warm and friendly.  We had an extra day and a half to play so we took in the Faberge exhibit at the Houston Natural History Museum which was lovely.  How could I resist all the sparklies!  We also headed down to the Johnson Space Center which was fun too.  But it is back to work for me....

I am working on the outs for the website - so far the Soft Glass sections and the Etched Charm sections are done.  Next I will update the Boro and then I will try and get some new things added!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

November 5:  Sorry for being so quiet here on the website...  I had planned to add some new beads when I returned from the last minute trip to Arizona but the weekend really took a toll and I am having a hard time getting back on track.  The show I am going to in Texas is next week as well and there are still a million things to do.  If I am able to add anything new I will be sure and send out a quick email blast so you know.  Thanks so much,

Jenny

P.S. If you click on the show links you will find a coupon for $1 off the admission fee (every little bit helps!)

 

October 29:  Been kind of a crazy week...  I will be headed out of town Friday through late Sunday for a family emergency.  If you place an order or email me during that time I will get back to you on Monday.  Thanks so much! 

Jenny

 

October 20:  Good morning!  I do have some beads for the update this week - yeah!  The first group of goodies up are some smaller Boro Rainbow Gems - I've had some requests for smaller so here you go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to share the ring I made from a tutorial by Kerry Bogert (I love her work!) that was in the latest Step by Step Wire Jewelry.  She uses her fun disk beads to whip up these quick and easy rings (easy enough that even I could do it!).  Of course I didn't have the 16 gauge wire she recommends - mine was 14 gauge so it was a little harder to work with but still, I love it!  But I love weird jewelry and I don't mind if it is big...  I used one of my Jibber Jabbers:

 

 

 

  Okay, now don't laugh - I'm not much of a wire worker and since the wire was thicker gauge I couldn't get it quite as tight in the wraps as I wanted but I think it is pretty good for a first try.  I wore it all day yesterday and it was super comfy too.  Anyways, people are always asking me how to use the Jibber Jabbers so check it out!  And thank you Kerry for sharing!
