Round and about the 'net

I've been trying my hardest to showcase the incredible talent of my friends on my Facebook page and on Twitter, so please tune into one or both of those to see running commentary on new listings and collections that feature my friends, and some from me, of course.

I've listed three new hearts for Valentines Day and soon I'll be listing my first entry to the Polymer Clay Smooshers "fairy tale" challenge, so keep tuned for that. I will also be listing a lot of hair barrettes and pony tail barrettes at Sassy Chic, so keep an eye out there as well.

Weekend Linky Bits!

Each day I come across beautiful things that my friends post. Some I get a chance to tweet, or FB, but not all. I'm going to try to do a weekend link post with tidbits of pretty that I've run across during the week.

Deb of Chrysallis Creations listed this gorgeous pair of earrings - wow! Aren't they beautiful? I love the way the wire moves. Not that I'm a huge fan of Deb's work or anything (*grin* okay, yes I am!!), but she won my heart with these jadeite earrings. Honestly, I -want- these!

I cannot say enough about ColtPixy's work. She's moved into a really cool groove lately, covering bottles, and I'm just in love with them. This Green Fern wish bottle is so delicate and lovely, and this Jester wish bottle looks like candy! Yum.

Serenity Grove does some of the prettiest chainmaille I've seen in a long time. This Faerie Halo Choker is just gorgeous! Her shop is full of wonderful things like this Spotted Butterfly Magnet. She also has yummy looking body care products. Mmmm.

My latest creation

My wonderful Polymer Clay Guild, the Smooshers of Artfire, has a tremendously cool thing going on. Every month (January through September) our Guild Master lets people who read the blog pick a challenge theme. Smooshers then make items that fit that theme, and we're all featured on the blog. Our first challenge of 2011 was "mythology", and a beaded & polymer clay Greenman was my contribution.



You can see the incredible talent of my guild in this blog entry about the theme. I love my Smooshers, and I can't wait to see what other challenges will yield this year.

A new shop!

I've opened Sassy Chic at Artfire. You'll be seeing a lot of interesting things here, starting with hair accessories! Right now I'm listing barrettes, pony tail barrettes and hair pins - some sassy for the kid in you (some of them glow in the dark!) and some more chic items for the grownup crowd.

In the future I'll be featuring fun badges, spinners, cute jewelry and all kinds of things. Keep your eye out for some Sassy stuff!
