I’m taking these beautiful sets out of the shop on Saturday, April 21st. These are the sets that I did for the first installment of Lori Anderson’s Cup of Bead Soup. This is a soup-er good deal. You get 4 carved nuggets (normally $16), one key pendant (normally $10) and 2 small leaf charms (paired for earrings or great for bracelets or accents on a necklace, normally $11) for $30 PLUS you will receive a limited edition print (1 of 20).
All of these items are limited edition. I won’t be reproducing these pendants in this color way again, so here’s your shot to buy these at a nice efficient price….

Cup of Bead Soup Mashup….
I was super excited to be included in Lori Anderson’s first Cup of Bead Soup. I don’t know what my problem is, but I never blogged it….although if you’re my friends on FB here or here, then you’ve probably seen it…..
I just wanted to do a special post about all of the lovely designs that were created with the beads these lovely ladies purchased. I couldn’t be more pleased with the amazing amount of talent displayed…and crap, one sweet gal had a broken wrist and still made yummy stuff…yeah, I’m all verklempt over here.
There is TONS and BUCKET LOADS of talent….you seriously need to go check it.
Here are all the ladies’ posts:
and of course, the hostess with the mostest, LORI! (woot! woot! I know how much Lori loves the word WOOT!)
Just poppin’ in to tell you I’ve uploaded some brand new listings to the shop. I’ve expanded my tiny egg selection to include some pretty soft pastel eggs with a bit of speckling for those of you with spring fever. Available now in aqua, ivory, pink, and mint.They are available individually as well as in sets of four (one of each color)….
Thanks to Patty for letting me use her pretty photo in my listing… :) ((man-hand high five!))
Also some new pieces with wings, birds, fish (!) up in the shop too…I’m not sure how I feel about all these yet so get them while you can…..
and just to be silly:
WOW…haven’t posted in awhile…been busy over here as life and work goes but I made a neat video over here.
And here’s some other things that are tickling my fancy this week:
I’ve followed the beautiful work of Natalie Chanin for some time, but Etsy made a video here, which caused me to revisit her amazing work and philosophy. If you have time to listen to her amazing lecture that is downloadable here as a podcast, I highly recommend it. (Scroll to the bottom and click on the part that says “download full audio”)
AND THIS! If you don’t get a tear or smile or a fist pump by 2:30…..just go away.
Expanding on an idea….

Today at Love My Art Jewelry, I did a post talking about reusing and using more things in my stash to make beautiful packaging. I really wanted to make a video talking a bit more about it….so here it is…please forgive me for my camera shyness. I use way too many “ummmms and likes”…. :)
I’ve had this do-hickey I bought for my iPhone several months ago and I’ve yet to put it good use so here goes….I haven’t made a proper video since September of last year so I though it was about time!
