This Friday, I Have New Stuff to Show

Ok. Last Friday I had nothing to show because I was away all week and made nothing new.

Where was I? Incase you forgot; I was out watching Phil beat the hell outta some drums on stage with the Swans first couple nights of the new tour. Yes. It was amazing and I wanted to travel with them longer but...

I came back and then had bad internet connections and nowhere to work until Wed... But, I did get roasted on Saturday at the Downtown Market (cause it was like 90F) and went to a really nice birthday party Sunday and then it rained a lot all week. This morning, the humidity was 80%. Kinda like Oregon in the high mountain desert of Utah... Though, it was a bit too cold to start wire wrapping in the mornings so, I did only have a few hours of solid non-arthritis bothered wrapping each day this week. Yep. I am whining a little bit...

Finally supposed to be a clear, warmer, day tomorrow though. Just in time for the second to last Downtown Salt Lake Arts and Crafts Market in Pioneer Park. Where I will be from 8am to 1pm on the street side of 400 S next to the City Weekly tent. Like usual.

Didn't get to make a lot of new stuff since I spent most of my jewelry making time working on custom orders this week but, I did make these:

And a couple of these:

[These got made because I had a special request for a simple more square know like ring. Obviously, one of these didn't quite fit the bill, but the other one came out ok. However, it was too big so it goes out into the general ring box now...]

Next week is the last Saturday to come out to the Pioneer Park Market for the season, and I will have a lot more new stuff next week... then I'm taking it all to Jewelry Parties and a couple Craft Shows in GA; with a brief flyover to catch up with Phil on the tour again. I love being a groupie!

See you tomorrow... or next Saturday... or at a Jewelry Party... or in Georgia.

Craft Lake City, Here I Come!

So... Hope you all had a good 4th!

Found out I got accepted to the 2nd annual Craft Lake City Arts & Crafts Show at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake... coming up mid August and hosted by Slug Magazine (who did an interview with my cousin Matt last year).

That's good.

Should be a rip roaring good time... as a matter of fact... and I'm taking that day off the Downtown Market so I don't get burnt out by the end of the night. See, I get up at 5am so I can be ready to drive an hour to get set up by 8am... then go to 1pm. The CLC show starts at 2pm and goes to 9pm, with music going later. So, if I go to the Downtown Market, then I'll have to pack up early to be set up by 2pm and I'll be totally wiped out by 5pm so... I wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much.

Plus, I plan to do a full (two table) set up under a tent for Craft Lake... but, I'll rant more about it later when I give more details in August.

Right now, I'd like to direct your attention to some pictures:

Purple Catseye Pendant Charm


Black (but sometimes looks Blue) Catseye Pendant Charm


Resin Mare and Colt Cameo Pendant

I'm in the process of making new rings this week, so I'll show you those on Friday so you know what to expect for next weekend's Markets. Oh, and please: Feel free to e-mail if you want anything you see posted and can't make it to the Markets...

Feel free to e-mail if you want custom work, or want to host a Jewelry Party... or leave a comment if you just want to say something about something that says something.

Ok. Well...

Yep.

Friday.

More then...

Wanna See the New Jewelry?

Ok. Tomorrow I'm heading to the Trexlertown Grange bright and early to set up at From Scratch. If you're in the area, I expect to see you. If you're not, here's a bunch of the new stuff I just made that I'll probably be selling out of tomorrow.

Well, I'll be selling a few of them for sure. Mother's Day is right around the corner don'tcha know... exactly 8 days actually...

Cameo Ring...

Cameo Pendants...

Cameo Pendant Earring Set w/Gold Fill Leverbacks...



Cameo Pendant Set w/Sterling Silver Leverbacks...

Non Tarnish Silver Enameled Copper Cabachon Pendants...

Non Tarnish Gold Enameled Copper Cabachon Pendants...



Non Tarnish Enameled Copper Cabachon Pendants...



And that's the slide show.

Ok. Actually, there are a couple of other cameo rings too... and some new faceted gemstone rings (Lab Ruby and Peridot)... and some wire word necklaces... and new Miniature Watercolor Painting necklaces... um... Oh ya... and some tiny picture frame necklaces to put the pictures of your children in with little gemstone accents. So, there's a lot of new jewelry you can try on at tomorrow's show.

See you tomorrow?
