Gone to E-bay

I'm not sure how long I will be able to keep up with two blogs, Etsy and now E-bay. I just listed both of these necklaces on E-bay, with the earrings to match. Has anyone out there ever put their blog on CD? If you know how to do that I really would appriciate a heads up on it.
I know I sure do like making beads and then putting them together to make jewerly a lot better when it is just for fun and to give as gifts. This selling can be a lot of work. There has got to be an easier way! OPEN A SHOP MAYBE ?

Great Summer time sets

This set is made of polymer clay, pony beads, and vintage white beads. measures 21" and has a gold colored barrel clasp. Comes with earrings. This is listed for sale on my Etsy account.
****************************************

Vintage delight, this necklace was designed around the 1960's focal bead. Sorry this picture is not to good. You will be able to see it better if you click on the picture to enlarge it. It has clear and black vintage crystals
along with green and amber glass beads. It measures about 18" and has a clasp that has that older look. Comes with matching earrings. Sells on my Etsy for $30.00 for the set.
*****************************************************


This last set is mostly polymer clay beads that I designed and made. I used turquoise pony beads and a dark teal bead to accentuate the larger beads.
This necklace measures 25" so no clasp is needed. Just slip over your head and go. A great look to be worn with more casual clothes like jeans.
*******************************************
So that's the latest thing listed for now....I am working on some great new sets, will be ready in a few days. please come back.

BEADS IN THE MAKING

Yeah!My camera is fixed...This is one of the things I'm working on now, I'm not real sure this is the layout I will go with, sometimes I get all the way to the last bead and change my mind.
******************************************

This is a picture of a few beads that were made some time back and just have not been inspired to finish. That happens a lot with me, I get an idea for the color combination and shape, make the beads, then do not know what I want to do with them.
*****************************************************


This is a collection of just such beads. Some of them are left overs from a necklace that is finished, some have never been incorporated into anything yet. I hope I may find that I do not have time to make beads since I now have two blogs, an etsy account, I'm on Facebook and have a Twitter account....and I'm going to use my E-bay account to try and sell some of the things I have made plus get rid of a bunch of "dust collectors" I have sitting around. After all I need money for CLAY!!!!! Why is it that the FUN STUFF we like to do cost so much?

BEAD BLESSINGS



Today I decided to start another blog...as if I do not have anything else to do . This blog will be just about BEADS AND JEWELRY. Also will have a link to my etsy account and to announce that I will be selling on E-bay. More about that later.


I plan to show stages of construction instead of just the finished item. Also in hopes that others that make beads with polymer clay will have ideas they would like to share. After searching out a lot of other sites I find I have a lot to learn, hopefully this will be an avenue where that can happen. I also wish to expand out to other types of jewelry using polymer clay. So please come back ....here's a few finished creations.
