Clinkscales Arts :: 2008

A surprise for me

I was in complete awe when, as I was scanning the titles in Etsy’s Treasury that I came upon a list with my name! There it is was - “Clinkscales“. Sarah of The Beaded Lily had created a treasury for me showcasing my new Art Deco earrings and showing off some of my favorite artists on Etsy. She added a few of her own to round out the selection. Have a look now, because it will disappear on Monday night.

Sarah started a blog not very long ago, but it has quickly become a blog to be reckoned with! I can tell she really puts her heart into everything she writes. And if you see her beading, like her beautiful Rose Distilled Necklace below, you can tell she puts her heart into that too. She also devotes a lot of her time moderating the Etsy BeadWeaver’s Street Team.

Art Deco for your pleasure

Here is my design for the EBW Challenge for August - Art Deco. (Thanks Staci for choosing such a cool theme!) I researched Art Deco jewelry and I knew I had to recreate the clean lines so popular during this period. Challenge voting begins August 9th on the EBW Blog.

Shakespeare would approve

I found myself with a treasury last night, and considering that EBW is currently voting on their July Challenge, I knew what I would use to fill my treasury. And I honestly believe that Shakespeare *would* approve. (Or at least his sister would!) This treasury will be active until Monday morning (7/14) and you can vote on the challenge on the EBW blog for three more days. So hurry to both! Leave comments and clicks and vote for your favorite!

EBW Voting is ON!

Yep, it’s that time of the month again (stole that from Carol Dean!) Voting has begun for the Etsy Beadweavers July Challenge - A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Visit the EBW Blog and choose your favorite. I had a vision in my head of what I wanted to create for it, but it didn’t come to fruition. But, check out the gorgeous entries that other team members came up with:

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July to all Americans out there! Many people spend their holiday at the lake, but we chose to have a garage sale this year. If you’ve never had a garage sale, it’s a LOT of work! We were lucky today, the high was only 91 degrees. J’s mom and sister also had stuff in our sale. I couldn’t have collected all of these lovelies by myself.

Also, I was able to grab a treasury Wednesday night/Thursday morning. I love the artwork on Etsy and include it just about every time I make a treasury. Of course, I also have to include some of the incredible beadwork from the EBW group. This treasury will be active until Saturday night around 7:20 pm (eastern). If you get a chance, stop by, leave me a comment and check out this amazing work.
