Mmmm... a lab experiment! At least it won't turn on you and devour your brains.

I know it's not the season for spooks, but embrace your dark side anyway. ;)

Everyone who checks out this necklace says, "Ohhh, sexy!". It's a long Y drop with India cut labradorite. Super blue flashes!



The black flashy arfvedsonite (it's going to be a big hit someday, I swear) looks so amazing with aqua apatite! The whole feel of these earrings is very festive.



Bubbling Over is my fist piece that looks like wedding jewelry. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome!



I have seven of the twelve Zodiac Earrings listed so far.
Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo

The First Monday

Well, after months and months of threatening it, my work finally laid me off for good. I am absolutely devastated because I really enjoyed being there. The setting was gorgeous, and most of my coworkers were hilariously twisted. Today is a sad day: the first day I should have been at work and am not.

This does free up a lot of time for earthcharms (to look on the bright side). I'm putting up pictures of new inventory on my flickr account right now:

My Zodiac jewelry project is underway. I have made all the earrings except Pisces (they just keep escaping me), and so far Aries - Cancer are listed. I might start making a few necklaces here and there as well. I am undecided on them matching the earrings or not.

Kaci, the owner of Laia's Baubles (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5315165), and I are working on a new Etsy store project. If you're comfortable with embracing your dark side, I think you'll like it! I have ordered supplies for our new project and cannot wait to dig into them!

In other good news, freedom from the corporate world means freedom of hair color:

It's my Etsyversary!

Today marks one year of earthcharms!

In a year I have: sold 133 items, gained 149 positive feedbacks, and earned 391 admirers (let's cut that down by 1/3 to take out the Look At Me! hearts). My skill level has gone from dinky to pretty good, and I hope to someday make it to amazing! I have sold to people all over the United States and to Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

It has been a pretty exciting year. Thank you to everyone who has been involved!

Love,

Kirsten
