I’m writing on the fly here … but I wanted to mention two things:
Thing one: the Etsy rain treasury that I posted about yesterday? It made the front page! Maybe it’s a little silly, but I was excited/happy about it 🙂
Thing two: I found out that my beadwork was featured in another treasury today. This treasury features a gorgeous collection of seedbead work and polyclay in turquoise hues.
Thank you, Dreambeadweaver for including my barrette in this beautiful collection! 🙂
Congrats!!! You deserve it! Are you doing well with Etsy? I love your Laurel Birch (sp?) necklace… whimsical and a beautiful tribute to a remarkable designer.

Thanks Robin 🙂
So far, Etsy has a pretty big learning curve for me, but I like it a lot. I spent most of last year focusing on my bead supply shop:

but I really didn’t start listing my handwork until this year. It’s been a long time since sold my work directly (I’ve typically worked with shops/galleries over the last 10 years or so)so it’s empowering and frightening all at once.
The Laurel Birch piece was made by the woman who curated the treasury (I like to link back to the curators’ shops and hopefully send a little good karma back to them 😉 and I agree, it’s lovely. My piece is the bead embroidered cabochon barrette at the top center.
