New Designs listed on Etsy

I've been busy creating soaps and such for my other Etsy store, but I finally found some time to make and list a couple more things...

One of the Necklaces I created with Tammi's Bead

And here is the first Necklace I created with one of Tammi's Lampwork Beads! See how easy it is to make a simple piece from one of her beads? I don't like to add too much to them, feeling it would detract from their beauty and uniqueness.

Tammi's Lampwork Glass Beads

So here they are...Tammi's Lampwork Beads that I purchase from her the other night!! They are lovely and are easy to create with because they can "stand alone" with very little accent beads.

Have a local source for lampwork glass beads!!

I now have a local source for glass lampwork beads!!
My friend has been making glass beads for a while, but did not have a kiln to anneal them, so I was unable to use them in my work, but she just recently purchased a kiln, and has been going nuts, creating like a madwoman!!
We got together for dinner last night and I got to do some private shopping from her collection. I came away with 35 beads and grinning ear to ear!! I couldn't wait to start creating with them, so I made 3 necklaces today from them. I will try to get some pictures together tomorrow of the beads and necklaces.
I am so excited! Her beads are very organic and unique...totally my style!! I will also be listing some of her beads for sale in my Black Horse Supplies Etsy store soon. I need to get her to open an Etsy store...although I'm feeling a bit selfish and want her beads all to myself! LOL!!

OKAY! So I have not blogged for sooooooo long!!! LOL!

I have been busy with a couple new ventures....I opened up another Etsy Store to sell my Bath & Beauty items and Soy Candles! The response to it so far has been very good. You can visit it at http://www.wickedscentuals.etsy.com/ . I am working on an Artfire store.

I have also been teaching a Jewelry-Making Class to Middle School age kids. It is a 6 week afterschool course and we just finished week 2. The Organization that I am doing this for is Five Town Communities That Care. They are an AWESOME organization with tons of support and just wonderful support staff! I can't say enough about them! You can find them on the web at http://www.fivetownctc.org/ . Check them out! I think every community should be so lucky to have an organization like this!

I've left you with a picture of my favorite soap, my Pure Olive Oil Castile Soap...Enjoy!! :0)
