What you've done with my tutorials!

Sometimes people will share with me the jewelry they have created using one of my tutorials. This is a message I received a couple days ago from a seller on Etsy!

Marie,
I finished my first pair. Thought you might like to see, they aren't up to your expertise but I'll keep making them until I get good! Thank you again, the tutorial is a breeze to follow. Now, practice, practice...

Not Your Typical Mens Weding Band

This was a commissioned piece. The couple really liked the look of a ring I had in stock, but needed a different size and wanted something a bit bigger and beefier. This ring is about 5/8ths or 1 cm wide and is made entirely of fused sterling silver.

I Won A Design Challenge

This is a piece I did for a forum challange. We had to select a colour pallet from http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/06/01/colorful-beauty-in-nature-butterflies/ . I had a piece of this lovely azurite malichite stone that I cut to size and polished. I though it was a perfect fit with the Mr. Geen Butterfly colour pallet. I have never spent so much time planning and working on a piece before. This definitely was a challenge for me and I am happy to say I won 1st Place in the Butterfly Theme Category and 1st Place in the Creativity of Overall Design Category as well as being the over all Grand Prize Winner!

I am a part of a fun forum challenge, we had to chose a colour pallet from http://http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/06/01/colorful-beauty-in-nature-butterflies/ and create a piece of jewelry with or without a butter fly theme.

This is the post that shows the rules we had to follow. http://http://www.starvingjewelryartists.com/index.php?showtopic=5051

Earrings and a Brooch

Just a quick post to show you a few different items I’ve been working on!

Price Changes

So far I have been the only seller of my jewelry but that is going to change, so within the next few days to the next few weeks some of my prices will be going up to reflect retail pricing. If there is something you are interested in purchasing do it soon, or at least email me to ask if the item you are interested in is one of the items that will be price adjusted.
Thank you all for your support and understanding!
