New Listing

A pretty beadwoven Autumn bracelet featuring a carved agate flower bead and lots of contrating coraled fronds!

What is coraling? It's a Russian beadweaving technique that I've adapted to look like fronds or sprigs with buds!

The Etsy Beadweavers October Challenge

The theme for October is "A Study in Monochrome". There are 21 beautiful entries from very talented beadweavers! What is monochrome? Shades and hues of the same color, sometimes described as boring. I think you will agree that none of these entries are boring!

The link to the Etsy Beadweavers Blog for voting, and to see much larger pictures of all entries: http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/

The first picture below shows all of the entries, and the rest show my entry - a beadwoven bracelet and earring set in shades of bronze, featuring brass and nickolite vintage buttons. The nickolite is behind the brass floral filigree and has a sparkling silver color!

New on Ebay!

I just listed a new bracelet featuring a vintage brass and nickolite button, with gorgeous, beaded autumn leaves. What is nickolite? It's hard to tell from the picture - behind the floral brass design is silvery nickolite (a metal containing nickel) that makes the button sparkle!

Our First Etsy Show!

Etsy @ the Market took place on September 30th in conjunction with the Sunday Artisans Market. It was a beautiful sunny day with mild temperatures - perfect for an outside show.

We had around 35 Etsy spaces, with a total of over 100 spaces counting the regular Ann Arbor Artisans. We had more traffic than on any other Sunday this season and everyone seemed to be having a great time!

I look forward to more Etsy shows in Ann Arbor!

There is a blog for an Etsy group in this area - http://23corridor.blogspot.com/
