★Going Bazaar...the next handmade jewelry craft show★

Although I am not very experienced at doing craft shows, after the last one I changed my mind and decided to put more stuff on the table; actually I had more of most things, but I was trying to make the table look "clean" so I left about a third in the trunk.Also, I want to get more business cards, that people can take even if they don't buy anything.It would also probably be a good idea to have small paper bags, with handles, instead of giving people their jewelry in a pouch.
I am looking forward to the coming craft and minerals show in Antwerpen and I hope it will take place at the same location, because it was a great place for a craft fair and all the stalls had so many pretty things in them!I guess your experience depends on your expectations. I know how hard it can be to organize events, especially when you can't control every aspect of it and there are unknown factors. The mere fact that I am participating is a big success for me!

★It's time for some color: floating AAA golden citrine briolette necklace★

A new jewelry piece is getting done and it’s at these times I find the repose and peace of the process so calming, such a gift…The sky is full of color so it is a certain clue that warmer, better days are ahead. It's cozy here and it doesn't feel like winter anymore.Even the color of clouds looks different, more inviting and open with life. It's time for some color,so I have this gorgeous, superb AAA golden citrine faceted pear shape solitaire in my hands and as always I fall in love with the sparkles and clarity of a masterly cut gemstone! My Mistery Project? A very simple sterling silver necklace for this citrine briolette, which should make it look like floating on a person's neckline when worn. What do you think? :)

★Handcrafted earrings: custom orders welcome★

I visualized the pink earrings (photo in the slide show, please) and had that picture in my mind for a while. The flat bead is amethyst and it was very smooth and slippery which made it harder for the coil around the bead to stay in place, as i wanted, so I had to quickly change the earrings to something as simple as bead, wire, bead, wire. However, I was happy to sell them right on the spot. I think next time I'll make the jump rings holding the top component smaller. I like these earrings and they look good on and I like the way they move.

So: Earrings are made with your choice of GARNET, IOLITE, MULTI-GEMSTONE, AMETHYST or PERIDOT faceted gemstones
