Tired...so I'm featuring a friend :P

I'll admit it - I'm tired and don't really feel like blogging :P My migraines are finally gone (just a lingering ache) but yesterday I had a really bad asthma attack....so I'm still exhausted. But I really didn't want to let this blog languish, so I'm just going to do some shameless promoting of my other blog and of my friend Cara :)

I love to write, in case you didn't already know that, and I'm working on slowly but surely improving my fiction skills. Don't know how good I am yet...but others seem to find it entertaining...so I decided to share my work :) Partially to challenge myself to write regularly :P It helps if I have a "deadline" of some sort and since I'm no longer in school...

Anyway, I just put up part one of Aria's Quest, feel free to go check it out! The art work was done my lovely friend Cara :) I love being an artist and part of the on-line artisan community! I'm trading a necklace (show you after it's photo'd) for this and one more picture later in the series :D Thank you Cara!


She has so many great things in her shop that I can easily get lost browsing...but here's one that made me smile extra big today :)

More earrings

I've been holding back on these for a little while now- I liked the little charms so much that I just kept them in a little pile on my work table! I think I like them so much that they will become my "signature" earrings. The greatest thing is that the charms are super lightweight so the earrings are comfy to wear. All the earwires are sterling silver and made by hand as well.

I especially like how my Pond glaze turned out on the curved shape of these charms above, there are little mauve and blue highlights on taupe. The inspiration to try out this shape came from some lovely enamel work I saw a while ago on Etsy- Her colors and shapes are beautiful and very organic.
I'll be adding these to my 1000 Markets and Etsy shops to see how they do in each. I hope they get as much love there as I have for them! Coming soon... necklaces!

Remember, you only have until the 11th to enter in the One World One Heart giveaway for a pair of coral starburst charms/earrings. Go to this post to enter!
