More new jewelry

Image
As I sit here in between laundry loads, while waiting for the dinner to finish cooking in the oven, and before I have to go back to work for evening treatments,(whew!) I have a few minutes to show off and talk about the last 2 new pieces of jewelry that have been added to my ETsy shop this week. The first is another pair of stamped and hammered disc earrings. Copper stamped disc earrings-twisted knots I take pure copper discs and hammer and texture them for this look. They also get domed, oxidized for a rich patina finish. I added twisted wire "knots" at the top. And pure copper ear wires. I made these ear wires slightly different than usual; I flattened the front part so it faces out, giving a thicker look in front of the ear than just the usual round ear wire.

Sunday: Not as exciting as I thought

That kinda sums it up. I thought I would have some exciting news, well I do have one thing... but I'll hold off for a bit.... I thought I would have another new bracelet complete to show you, but did not happen. What did I do today? Loads and loads of laundry! And spent some time "studying" my new camera's instruction manual. 50 pages, and now I have to download the CD disc to learn more! Did I mention I'm electronically challenged? Now let me get to the good stuff: IT'S TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY! Since I have been blessed with good things lately, I'd like to offer this bracelet, as a giveaway. It's one of my pure copper cuff style bracelets from the "Ancient World's" series. This one just does not live up to my standards for sale, although it is very nice and wearable. It will fit a size 7 inch wrist. O.K. So what do you have to do to be entered? ~follow my blog~ 1 entry ~become a Facebook fan, click on top box to go there~ 1 entry ~make a pur...

Quick shop update

So glad my work week is over. Finally cooler, fall like weather here in Florida. I'm in the process of finalizing things with the temp job and starting the new job. There's a new poll for you to take part in. See the side bar. In my Etsy shop I'm continuing to offer FREE SHIPPING to anywhere, and the October Birthstone Special is 10% off any item with tourmaline or jasper gemstones. Here's a couple of earrings to be added in my shop today. And now I'm off to complete my chores for the day! Call doctors, grocery shop, another doctor's appointment, color hair, clean, collapse?
