Facebook

Long story short...

I had to create another page for my shops on facebook.  After a week of trying to merge the page to the profile without success... I gave up and started over again.  A new beginning so to speak.

Mini Art Canvas Buttons (ABEO) for Artists

So, what can you do with the ABEO Art Buttons that I sell in my Shops?

The answer is your imagination is the limit!  They are small mini canvas covered buttons waiting for you to add your art.  They are available in two types of canvas, regular and watercolor.  1.5 inch and 2.25inch buttons.  Anything you can paint on a larger canvas can be painted on these (only smaller).


One talented Jewelry Artisan that creates beautiful wearable art is Connie Owens Art.  She uses watercolors as one of her mediums to create one of a kind artisan jewelry.  This beautiful leather southwest art bracelet is available in her Connie Owens Art on Etsy

Visit her Etsy Shop where you can find this beautiful  Hummingbird Pendant Necklace Spring Colors, Hand Painted Original Art Pendant, Pin or Scarf Slide.

These are just two of her beautiful wearable art jewelry.  The holidays are right around the corner.  She also does commissioned work (get your orders in now-before the Holiday rush).  She is a great person to work with.

So much to do....

 LAST DAY over on Artfire to sign up for the group rate of 5.95 a month...It goes up tomorrow. 

I love this time of year...

The air turns cooler and we can start taking walks again (We have to stay inside most of the day in the hot Texas summers and I miss walking).   Hubby gets up early and we are in bed early or we would walk at night.

Hubby has tomatoes and green beans in our fall garden and I am super busy with sewing, jewelry and buttons. I will need to live until I am 150 to get it all done!

One of my newest listings on Artfire...My Fall Goddess Bib necklace

Hubby and I enjoy watching the new series Warehouse 13...We love all the Steampunk Style gadgets. We are such sci-fi geeks anyway! From the time we saw Dark City years ago, fell in love with the feel of steampunk. Dark City is even more dramatic on Bluray.

Check out this BLOG for the person behind the making of some of the gadgets on Warehouse 13.

CALYPSO ART GLASS LAMPWORK NECKLACE SET by MonaDesigns

........

Here is part of her description:
A collaborative effort combining my hand torched beads in hues of reds, oranges and purples with the lentils of Mariya Anton. Wire wrapped elements in Sterling, Sterling Silver beads, and Bali Sterling Silver in several embellishments create a very dimensional and excitingly colorful Art Glass Necklace and Earrings set! The lentils have beautiful colors worked over Fine(pure) Silver foils to create a delicious organic reaction between the colors and sparkling veins of the Fine Silver run between the colors!........

Zen Necklace

The peaceful colors in this handmade ceramic pendant inspire a sense of zen-like calm. Aqua blues, lime green and jonquil yellows float over its textured surface and are reflected in the coordinating beads that wind up the vintage brass chain. Aqua twist oval glass beads are vintage; small rounds and translucent yellow flowers are Czech glass. A one-of-a-kind design.

Necklace measures almost 19" (48.25 cm) without the pendant, which is 1 3/8" (3.5 cm) in diameter. Necklace closes with a small brass-toned toggle clasp. Necklace can be shortened if desired. Please contact me when purchasing if you need a different length.

Pendant was handmade by Maine artisan Winchell Clay Works. http://www.WinchellClayWorks.etsy.com

Faerie Flowers Necklace

Magical and ethereal flowers bloom in the faerie garden. This handmade polymer clay flower pod pendant drips with dew made of silver-wrapped Czech glass beads in amethyst and clear vintage Czech crystals. The pod's stem is made of a pewter melon bead and wrapped sterling wire. A flowery antique silver toggle clasp blooms just above the pod.

Vining up from the pendant are Czech glass leaves and flowers in green with an AB shimmer, small Czech rounds in olivine with silver petal caps, a silver toned metal flower bead, and very unique rectangular, floral Czech glass beads in a blue-raspberry hue. The garden is suspended from a delicate sterling chain.

Necklace measures 18" (45 cm) to the clasp. The pendant drops down another 2" (5 cm).

Polymer clay flower pendant is handmade by Zuda Gay at Etsy. http://www.ZudaGay.etsy.com

Absolutely one-of-a-kind!
