Check Out My New Pattern by Etsy Shop

OK, not really new.  It has been about 10 days, but I have been real busy learning, updating, and creating new products.  The purpose of having the regular Etsy and then Etsy Pattern, as far as I can tell is SEO, and people who don't want to join Etsy to be able to buy products they want and love.

I have created some new painted sneakers, and working on some very cool new pieces of jewelry.  I love doing the etched glass, though it is definitely a steady hand skill.  Good thing I still have a pretty steady hand.

To visit my new shop, click the link, or simply do a search for #missy69 pattern by Etsy, in your favorite search engine.  I am considering buying the domain name, but I can't make up my mind.  My shop also has a blog, and a newsletter, so be sure to check them out if you are interested.  As soon as I get some newsletter memberships, I will send one out.

How To Wire Wrap A Bail For A Gemstone Pendant

I love this lady. I have used several of her tutorials to learn various techniques. Like all new things, it does take some practice to get it down. Have fun, this one isn't too hard.

I Need Help From All Beaders and Chainmaille experts

I have some larger cabachons that I would love to learn to either chainmaille around them, or bead weave to make a pendant. I am looking for simple, and preferably free tutorials. I have no idea what they are called, so I am having a hard time searching for tutorials. If anyone is willing to help me out, I would very grateful. Thank you, in advance.

Canvas On Wood Pendants

These wonderful pendants are from Artbeads They are called Canvas on Wood, and they have a huge selection to choose from. I had a hard time picking one, but this one named Island Rights, was just stunning. Their picture shows the detail much better than mine. It measures 43x25mm and is not heavy, like I thought it would be. It is light weight, so it will not drag your neck down lol. I really can not decide how I want to showcase this lovely pendant. I have looked at several options, and can not make up my mind. There are so many different color schemes in the pendant. I will have to play around to see which I like best. Be sure to visit Artbeads and check out all their lovely pieces, they have available. Their website is huge, with all kinds of awesome options for jewelry making, plus tutorials, and their customer service is wonderful.

Playing With Wire

I have been playing around with some wire techniques again. This is a large rainbow glass bead, I used craft wire to make the bail, and heart pendant design. It is simple, yet lovely, and would make a great gift idea for a younger girl. It will be available for sale in my Etsy store very soon. If you would rather purchase it through this blog, please contact me at darien04@gmail.com for info how to do that. You will get free shipping, and 5 dollars off, if you buy through this blog.

Huge Picture Jasper and Orange Calcite Pendants

If you love Big and Bold, I mean huge jewelry, then these pendants are for you. I love Picture Jasper. It is probably my most favorite gemstone, in cabachon form. It is extremely difficult to get a hold of, and is rather expensive. The heart shaped, Picture Jasper pendant, was made using soft pink peach colored wire, which is very soft and pliable. I made the bail super huge, to accommodate a ribbon, or large omega, chain, or whatever you would wish to wear this on. The other pendant, is Fire Orange Calcite. This is such a cool pendant. Calcite is usually like a chalky white or light yellow color, but can be found in other colors. It is also a rather soft and unstable gemstone, so using it in a pendant is perfect. This large beauty is Fire Orange in color, and has three gold tone, with fancy rope design to make it a drop pendant. The jump rings are each 10mm round, so it can accept a large chord, or omega as well. The two pear shape stones are Magnesite, other wise known as White Turqoise. They are actually a member of the Calcite family, not Turqoise, but Native Americans have referred to it as White Buffalo Turqoise, for years, and the name stuck with it. All of these lovely items, will be available for sale, later today, in my Etsy store, Missy69. You can scroll to the bottom of the page, to see my Etsy mini and visit my store.
