New Pendant and New Pthots...

...my new pendant with white/pink glass chip beads is the first photo - I have redone most of the photos for my Etsy shop and uploaded them this morning - it was a pain redoing them all (as I have a million other things to do) but I hope it will be worth the effort.

Fingers crossed for more gem and wire supplies to arrive TODAY! :D

New MACRO pics of pendnats...

... I was chatting away on Twitter a few hours ago and a few very helpful ladies suggested I use 'macro' setting on my camera for taking photos for my etsy store - feedback is always great so I went and took out my instruction booklet for my trusty Sony Cyber-shot and... low and behold, I had a Macro setting on there - I have taken a few photos under lights (which is always hard) and plan to redo them tomorrow morning in natural sunlight...but even these pictures taken a few moments ago are MAGIC - all the detail is there and everything is so sharp - only now, after comparing my old photos and these macro shots can I see the vast difference between the two - I am very happy about this outcome - I suppose I just took it for granted that my artwork will sell itself...but great photos are so important when trying to advertise/sell you creations :D

"Hoot Hoot" OWL wire wrap pendant...

...a new little OWL wire wrap pendant that I completed today - the kids are having play dates and while baby sitting 4 munckins in the house, I was able to occupy myself with this...hope you like it :D

Just a Quickie...

...new beaded handmade bookmarks in my Etsy shop right now :D - some have cabochons and lockets with my artwork on them :D

A Pendant a Day...

Hi Bloggers...well after the 5 sales in 5 days on Etsy (three alone yesterday) most of my Tree of Life pendants are sold and gone to their new owners, so I have decided to make a Tree of Life pendant every day if possible, while my silver wire supplies last - usually when the kiddies are in bed and hubby and I are sitting in the evenings relaxing and watching TV I bring out my little boxes of beads and my little tools . This one I made while watching that crazy show Ladette to Lady last night (all you Aussies will know the show I am talking about) LOL - this one is made out of European silver plated wire, aluminium wire and 6mm Fire Agate Smooth Polished Beads - I love the extra touch with the little charm/dangle on this one :D

My art studio is still stacked up with boxes (as I have given the space to a close friend who is moving home) so I am unable to pick up the paint brushes for at least another 2 weeks - the moment I get my studio back I plan to paint :D

Hope everyone is happy and well - chat soon buddies, Val xoxo
