And love goes round The Storque!

The Storque asked the teams of Etsy to write little blurbs to be featured in an article about Valentine’s Day. The blurbs were supposed to highlight what the teams had planned for the holiday. Ours featured a write up about the challenge (which we ended YESTERDAY…eek!) and they chose a photo from the 42 red entries to represent the team. I have to say I was delighted when I saw my necklace in the article.

Speaking of the Beadweavers challenge, I want to say congratulations to Fennel Skellyman - the first man to join our group! - for receiving the most votes for his extravagant Fire Garden Necklace!! (Note: I came in 10th place in the challenge. It’s not a fabulous place to be, but it’s not too bad considering it was my first entry so thank you to everyone that voted for me!!) Fennel gets to pick the challenge theme for March because we changed things up a bit and we’re already working on the February theme - Spring Break.

I’m having trouble getting anything Spring in my head. I wanted to use February to do a cool winter piece. When I think of Spring Break, I think of March. But nevertheless, the team is hard at it, creating beauties for the next challenge. Voting will begin February 7th. I’ll remind you again once all of the entries are in.

If you want to follow along as the challenge pieces get listed, just search for EBWC on Etsy. If you click that link now, you’ll still see some of the RED pieces, but that will change once Spring Break pieces are listed.

Tell me you love me…

Sometimes, I think it’s hokie when people name their jewelry, but these last two pieces have named themselves without me even having to think about it. Available in my shop.

And love goes ’round…

Well, I finally managed to complete a piece and enter it in the Beadweavers Challenge. We chose red as our theme so we could showcase our items with a Valentine’s article in the Storque.

I chose a simple, elegant design for my entry - a luscious beaded bead suspended on a sterling silver chain.

Please visit the Beadweaver’s blog and vote for your favorite beginning January 7th.
