12 Days Before Christmas Sale!

Preview Image: 

I wanted to change things up this year so instead of doing Cyber Monday or Artists Sunday or Black Friday I decided to do a "12 days before Christmas" sale.  The song 12 Days Of Christmas actually starts on 12/25 and that would be a little too late for Christmas.  So I decided to start my sale on 12/1 and have it run for the 12 days before Christmas.  Each day will have a new theme for the sale.  This gives all my wonderful customers a chance to shop and get their purchases before Christmas.

You can read more about this sale in my newsletter here.

Pantone Colors of 2021 - Illuminating and Ultimate Gray

Preview Image: 

The Very Nice Group on Facebook had a challenge to come up with designs based on the Pantone colors of the year for 2021.  The colors are "illuminating" (yellow) and "ultimate gray".  Here is the inspiration picture we got.

Fun with Raku enamel

Preview Image: 

I played a bit with the raku process a while back and got so-so results.  Then I listened to a video by Jean Tudor through the Enamelist Society, Inc and she inspired me to give it another try.  I incorporated some of her suggestions  and was able to get some really nice results.  As she says - if it doesn't come out the way you want it the first time, heat it up and try again.  In most cases it takes 2-4 tosses into the can to get the look I want - or to get the 2 parts of earrings to look somewhat similar. 

It's National Mutt Day!

Preview Image: 

It's National Mutt Day and I love dogs! If you don't already know that, you will if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram.

We always get rescue dogs and right now we have 2 - Max (our little old man) and Bijou (the youngster). Max (a Westie aka West Highland White) is from Westie Rescue of OC. They do rescue mutts as well, but they focus mainly on Westies.  Bijou (a Schnauzer mix) is from Karmic Rescue.  I share pictures of both of them regularly since they're both so CUTE!
