I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere!
I have been toying around with new designs and ideas. I made my first alternating black & white choker yesterday and my friend Carlie saw it and purchased it immediately! I want to find more colors to work with now that I know the outcome is so neat. I have another friend who is specifically requesting red waxed linen. I have white, purple, black, and I know blue was out there, but I'm not sure about red. I may need to track down a craft store, but I fear the reprocussions of entering A CRAFT STORE. Those places are seriously dangerous.
I am also soon to start a Scorpio Kit for yet another friend. She's asking for labradorite & rubellite like my last Scorpio choker, only she wants me to work with the white cord. Her kit is going to include: One choker, one bracelet, one pair of earrings, a pocket stone, and a tealight. I need to get some new rubellite in stock before I start on that one.
I have almost all the pieces finished for the Student Kit. I special ordered 40 soy tealights a few days ago from another Etsy seller, and those will probably show up early next week. I also ordered a strand of tourmaline, one of citrine, and one of carnelian from this Etsy seller. And grabbed a strand of iolite rounds, one of quartz cubes, one of moonstone leaves, one of tourmalinated quartz flowers, and one of rose quartz rounds from an eBay store. I have not spent nearly as much as you would think on all this. In fact, the money in my PayPal more than covered it!
...yet it would be nice to not spend 500% of profits on supplies. ;)

Almost done with the Zodiac signs! I've been putting together ideas for kits (Student Kit, Health Kit, Travel Kit, etc). I am getting some tealights to go with the kits from another Etsy seller: GuidingLightCandles. I'm pretty excited about the kit ideas, and I am very open to suggestions and special orders!

Whoops, I accidentally bought something...
My mom made me go into a bead store last weekend, which is like putting an addict into a crack den.
I managed to make it out with minimal damage done. I needed more smoky quartz anyway.
I bought a strand of teensy tiny rutillated quartz beads, and they are acting as the perfect warm accent to everything!
I'm also making more with the white waxed linen cord, so things are looking pretty bright and summery lately.

Oh the goodies!
Now you can use the search function in
New Items Up!
I have been making chokers during lunch at work. It kind of helps advertise! I also got to make two bracelets for a coworker as a special request. I think I will be adding more bracelets soon. I have so many things to photograph! The light just isn't right by the time I get home from work, so they have to wait for Saturday. *sigh* I don't like waiting! ;)

The Zodiac Signs
I am taking this Zodiac signs idea and running with it!
I have Pisces, Scorpio, and Gemini listed.
I have Taurus, Aquarius, Virgo, and Cancer made but not listed yet.
Everyone else is ready to be made except poor Sagittarius, as I have run too low on smoky quartz!
I need to remedy that and get some moonstone and iolite. Ahhhh, the wishlist grows!
I did my first necklace with white cord. It looks really pretty. That one will be listed soon.
I also got the suggestion to make bracelets, and my first try turned out okay. The only thing I don't like about bracelets is how much wrists vary. It's a lot more difficult to accomodate wrists than necks!
