(2 days in a row ~ I'm getting better!)

Sorry, I've been a little lax . . .

I apologize for being so lax in getting news and new pieces on to this blog.  Too many irons in the fire as  they say . :(  I keep hoping that will change but the key here is 'I' have to change it!

Here a couple of new pieces just finished . . .

Hedy

This is from a piece I re-worked.  I liked the previous version but I think this probably has a little more pizazz to it even though it is all the same beads ~ they are just re-strung in a more fun fashion.  This piece is made up of African Trade Beads (Brass), Recycled Krobo glass (Ghana) and lovely large nuggets of shimmering Labradorite. For more information please go to my website here

Another piece I just put on  . . . 

Caliende

This piece is made of Red Coral Nuggets, Magnesite, Black Matte Glass, Brass Heishi and Silver-plated large inscribed Metal Beads.  The Focal is Red Coral and Black Matte Glass.  For more information on this piece please go to my website here.

This piece I recently donated to the 'Hospice of North Idaho Annual Wine Gala' for their Fundraising Auction.  The Event takes place, Saturday Feb. 2nd so if you are in the area  you just might want to participate!  Having had the experience of using their services I can tell you it is more than a worthy cause.  Wonderful organization and wonderful people.   

This piece is made of Dalmatir Stone, Black Onyx and African Trade Beads. and has matching earrings.

That's it for today!

It's 'almost' that time . . .

At least, if you walk in to any of the major Box stores, that's what they want us to think!  I guess it is November . . . maybe I'm the one who is behind in all of this!

One of my newest pieces. 

 Maybe it will fit on to your 'Wish List' or your 'Gifts needed for . . .' list.  :)

Helping the Victims of Hurricane Sandy

I would have donated jewelry but only 2-dimensional work can be auctioned off on this site ~ which is understandable since it is 'Daily Paintworks!

Rooster Man

We all know about the sadness and devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy and many of us have wondered how we can help.  There is a great website called 'Daily Paintworks.com' which is currently hosting an online Auction to help the victims of Sandy.  For Artists, you can go on and donate a painting and designate where you would like the money to go (i.e. Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc.).  For those of you that would like to donate to a good cause AND get a great piece of Artwork at the same time, you can go on and bid on any painting shown that you like.  Most of the bidding for the Artwork donated starts as low as $25 ~ some even less.  Most of the work is smaller in size, like my donation of 'Rooster Man' above ~ he's just 6"x6", but it keeps the donations and purchases doable for many and also the shipping costs down.  It's a win win situation for everyone.

Here is the link ~ when you have a moment, please go check it out.  You'll be helping an important cause and get some great art in return.
