New Creations

Once again, my passion for stones and crystals has emerged. As I learn more about their metaphysical properties, I'm also new colors and combinations of stones, and of course, new wire designs.

I'm also pushing myself to keep my Etsy shop updated, and participate in chat, and other promotional avenues. My jewelry deserves to be seen, and hopefully, loved. Be sure to check out all of the great new stuff......

Gettin' Crafty With It

As I continue to be out of work, I continue to push myself with my jewelry creation. I've also committed myself to several craft shows for this coming season, something I didn't allow myself to do last year. I'm excited, and hoping this push to be committed to my jewelry making will bring around some good things.

I'll be posting pictures of new creations. Wish me luck!

Working, Working, Working

Well, haven't posted in some time, but now that I'm out of work, I should have more time on my hands.

I've been working hard on listing new items in my Etsy shop, and I think it's looking good. I've also joined Twitter (ravenworkstudio) and I hope to make some new connections there. I may even set up an Artfire and 1000 Markets account now that I have the time.

So, I'm on the crafty move. I hope I can get some things happening soon :)

Great Finds!

The gem show was amazing. I was so overwhelmed with all of the incredible stones, crystals and gems it was ridiculous. I made some great buys. My only regret was that I didn't have more money to spend. Luckily though, I discovered some new gems to love.

So, time to get my jewelry making behind into gear for the craft fair season. Good times.

Rock And Gem Show

This Saturday I'm going to my very first rock and gem show, and I'm so excited, it's ridiculous. I'm already dreaming of all of the great finds I'll pick up there, and pre-cringing at the money I'm sure to spend.

I really hope to find some really brightly colored crystals. I've seen some pieces lately using different shades of tourmoline and quarzt that make me ache with jealousy:

Aren't those stones just stunning? I hope to capture a few similar beauties this weekend. Wish me luck!

Ch-Ch-Changes!

Well, my new found passion for creating fabulous dog clothes creations and jewelry has finally found a way to resolve its self.

I've established a new blog and a new website, and really a whole new entity for my doggie lovelies called Devine Dog Designs. Please take a look when I finally get them rolling a bit :)

So, I can now go back to devoting this blog to my jewelry, as originally intended. However, I'm very excited about my new project. This way I can switch on and off between the two and not get completely burnt out on just one. Considering craft fair season begins soon, this is a good thing, and should help to keep the creative juices flowing.

Another Dog Project

So, continuing in my dog centric craftiness, I made a cute little dress for our new puppy Vixen from a fantastic pattern I bought off off http://petitepuppypatterns.com/Site/Home-1.html

So adorable, and the pattern is so versatile. Unfortunately I got the pattern a little to small, as Vixie is her pudgy puppy stage, and she's still growing. Today I got the pattern for the next size up, and I can't wait to make some more dresses out of all of the fun fabric I bought!
