New Pendant

This is a new pendant in my ETSY shop. 19" long. I have a zillion earrings and things to photograph and list before next week as I will be having a Black Friday sale and I will also be featured in an article on ETSY sellers in Taos next week in the local paper, not sure what will come of it, but I want to be ready :-).
I am also working on a painting so don't think I am giving up on my true love.
Love your thoughts. XOXO

Earrings

Due to the lack of comments in my last post I must assume that my new venture in jewelry making is not very interesting to most of my bloggers, or maybe no one blogs anymore? I did get 36 people coming to the post, but only one comment! I need feedback, are they not interesting, bad photos, too much money? These are new earrings and I am putting one pair on my ETSY site and the rest are going into a shop in town, so if you want a pair let me know this weekend. I take paypal and will take a check. 30, 25,20,20 dollars Top to bottom, 3.00 shipping in the US, twice that for international. Maybe they will do better in the shop in town, it is worth a try.  XOXO

New Jewelry

These are my newest pieces. I went into a bead shop and I was shocked with how much beads cost these days. I needed to know what I had, and I have some really good stuff :-). All these pieces will be going to my ETSY shop this week. I am also starting a new painting today I always love your thoughts.
 Happy creating. xoxo

Catch up and Something Completely Different

Remember when I said a client and friend passed away a couple months ago? Well, she was a beader and she left me all her beads and findings, at first I was going to give them away, but then I thought since my art sales are not exactly good right now, I might try my hand at beading. I did it in my 20's, so I am a bit rusty, but like riding a bike it comes back to you. These are my first efforts and I am sure I will get much more creative as I go, it is great fun and very addictive. I will be putting them in my ETSY shop this week, but if you would like anything here let me know, I take paypal or a check. I am not sure of what I have, some brass, glass and plastic beads for sure. Prices are 25 for the top two and 20 for the bottom two pairs, I can't get a great photo of the necklace, but here I have a close up in the last photo. I will be beading all November and will be sharing with you my efforts.
I have been busy, one of my best friends from the bay area came for a long overdo visit, M is pictured here, we ate out a lot and my favorites were the Love Apple (the photo of the steeple) and The Old Martina's Hall, (the bar pictured above), out of this world great food. We took a trip to Santa Fe and these photos are of buildings and things we saw around Canyon Road. We had so much fun and now I miss her more than ever. She brought me the best gift, a juicer! I have been making yummy juice all week. I love you dear one.
The last photo is of our first snow last week.
That is about it for me. Let me know what you think of the jewelery! XOXO
