: new things, cute stuff and a work in progress

Springtime makes me want to wear color:

I made one of these for myself and one for the shop.

The larger green beads are carved Jade, the coral color rounds are mother of pearl,

and the tiny ones are African glass beads, along with Czech

glass beads for a touch of sparkle.

 I like the design because its very casual but so colorful

and totally makes a statement.

But sometimes you just want something small:

One thing I've learned about having an Etsy shop is that variety is essential.

Big and bold, small and dainty, and even supplies

and findings are good for a varied selection.

Now for the CUTE stuff:

Found on this blog:

ohdeedoh

The whole cloud/rain theme is so cute!  I love the tissue poms with the rain drops.

Very adorable.

And a work in progress.

It is a small canvas I glued fabric to, then covered with gesso

and sparkly watercolor paints:

Pretty things are glued down, now I need to add the words and cover

with an encaustic medium, like wax:

And that's my Wednesday morning.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
