Have You Checked out Jenny's Picks Lately?

Have you checked out the section in my Etsy Store called Jenny's Picks?   When an item in this section is sold, the money goes to Jenny to help with her expenses  as she battles Multiple Myeloma.  I have a variety of items in that section.  Most are finished, including this vessel.  I really like it, but then I really like red, too!!!  If you would like to have a closer look, try clicking here, but I can tell you right now, blogger is acting up, and it won't let you click there, so try HERE.  That should work!

I have to figure out a better way to shoot this, but it's a mini mobile!  This brand new.  I wish you could see it in person!  It's so pretty!  I love it.  Click here for a somewhat better look.

I've also added a Rosary Bracelet to this section.  I love the one I made for me, and I'm sure that someone will love this one!  I plan to add more bracelets soon.  I just need the time to make them!  Click HERE for a better look.

Got a taste for bacon and eggs?  How about some earrings?  These would really be fun to wear, especially if you love bacon and eggs!  Click HERE for a closer look!

I've decided that if this vessel doesn't sell by the time it comes to renew, I'm going to keep it!!!  It is so pretty!!  So, if you want it, this is the time to buy it!!
Click HERE for a closer link.














Another thing to remember is that I am having a 20% off sale in my store until the 17th.  Just use the coupon code, PAYTAXES at checkout, and you will receive 20% off your entire order.  Now, that's a good deal!!! 

The End of All About Me Week!

Talk about being self centered! I proved that this week--the All about ME week! I suppose it's all right once in a while. Normally, I love to promote other people, but this week, I was just stuck on ME ME ME!




So, get it while you can. This is the last of it this week.

Here's a lizard on a lentil that I made. He's in my Etsy store now.
Check him out here. He's a cute guy. Maybe his name should be Lenny the Lizard? I don't know. It's just being silly!











This is a lizard vessel I made today. It was so hard to make. It really was. I've never attempted a lizard on a vessel before. I'm kind of proud of him or her.







Just a thought to throw out to you. The next work in our lampwork play on words challenge is: AMUSING. What do you think of when you hear the word amusing. I'm drawing a blank on this one. Help me, please!

That's all for now. Thus ends the week of all about ME! ME! ME!

I'm Making Vessels Again

It's been awhile since I made vessels, but I wanted a fire vessel to wear around here. Here's a photo of it! What do you think?

If the truth be told, I wanted a vessel to wear at the Bead and Button Show which is coming up very soon. Then I realized, as I shaped and blew this vessel into form I had forgotten how much I enjoyed making vessels. So, I dipped my mandrels so that they would be ready for tomorrow's torch session.
I'm making vessels again!












Here's a vessel I have listed in my Etsy store right now. This organic style vessel is so very pretty!






















I call this vessel Broken Shell Vessel. It's a vessel that does not hold anything. The front of the vessel is open so that it looks like a shell.






I'll be showing more vessels as I make them. I'm also looking for a bag of vessels that I had, but now, I've lost! I probably put them away. I'll probably find them in a year of so. I guess that I had better get to work and make more vessels to replace them. Photos to follow later.

Vessels

I have 3 beautiful vessels in my Etsy Store. This one is called Posh Purple Vessel! It's really a lovely piece of jewelry. It's even big enough to put a little bit of something you want to hold close to you whether it be a touch of fragrant oils or child's first tooth.











This is another vessel in my Etsy Store.
I call this one Midnight Skies. It's a small item, but it's unique. With only 31 days to Christmas, you might want to order this beautiful little piece of wearable art soon. Think about it!















Last, but not least, is the Buried Coral Reef vessel. Although not shown, this comes with a chain so that you can wear this. I love to make vessels! I need to clear out my current stock so that I can make more. Not only that, these vessels would make wonderful, unique gifts for that special person on your list.
