Tree for me

I haven't decided yet whether or not I'll sell this tree pendant. I'm incredibly attached to it. It's the first one I've made.

I have trouble with this sometimes... less now than at the beginning, because making a particular piece will have helped me work through something, or I remember how i felt when I was designing it. I'd like to do more like this one though, but this one took about an hour, so I probably wouldn't focus on them as far as sales go. I need to start repeating my designs so I know I can reproduce them, that's been my concentration for this week. But it's nice to do something just to see if i can. :)

I'm featured in a treasury!

Allison of AJK Artistry put together a great Etsy Treasury chock full of artists from this past weekend's Handmade Faire. That's my Thousand Points of Light pendant in the upper left hand corner. Check it out!

Treasuries are a great way to browse Etsy. Etsy artists and shoppers put together pics of their favorite pieces, and when the Treasury page hits a certain number, you can hop on in and snag a spot! It's very competitive, and only posted for a limited time. Come check out all of the great NJ Etsians in this one!

While I was there I thought i'd keep my hands busy, and I did a garnet-and-pearl spiral. I have less than half of my inventory up on my etsy site,
and I need to get on top of it! but here's a sneak preview of my latest items...
