Ring Giveaway Winner, New earrings.

I randomly chose a winner for the BOW RING giveaway.
Congrats to xoladiihoneyxo (HI LINDA!, hope your puppy/you are doing well)
I hope you can wear this, since it's not gold filled. I remember us talking a while back and I believe you mentioned you can't wear anything that's just plated? :\
Please email me your full name & shipping address!

My lovely new friend on blog, Alyssa, and I did a materials swap! She sent me these cute bows, which I've incorporated into these two new pieces:

The hooks are the beautiful CZ accented gold plated over brass hooks.

Oh yea, thought I'd mention this, because every once in a while, I get an email regarding my prices :P
Sure, IF I did not rely on the profit I make from this business, then I would not care so much about keeping my prices at a certain minimum. I don't live with my parents, and I don't bum money off my parents. Whatever I make is how much I have to spend during the month. I know there are hobbiests out there who just sell their items for materials price-- good for them.  I'm not one of them. I can't be if I want food, shelter, entertainment. This is my official part-time job. If you have an issue with how "expensive" my pieces are, please, there are plenty of other jewelry artisans to buy from. I try to price reasonably, and if that's out of your range, I can't help, sorry :(
Thank you for your courtesy and understanding regarding this matter.

Enjoy!
I'm off to read a 550 page book my Tuesday, do homework, and read 50+ pages of textbook material.

nite nite!

I've personally have these posts sitting here for months and months before I figured out how I want to use then, but I quite like this design:

A beauty. Very Faerie-Elf like. Enchanting, would be the word?

And just some cutesy earrings:


Okay okay, so on to the exciting thing..
I wanted to give away the FIRST My Lil' Dainty Bow ring that I made.

Bow Ring, Floral Radiance! + Holiday Plans =)

Here's a quick post to let you all know what's up =)

I'm slowly bringing back my Floral Radiance series (a top seller at He Qi), my origami butterfly earrings, and more RINGS for you all!

Classes have started, so I don't have an much time to make the poly-clay flowers-- but I know these are adored by a lot of people, so no matter time consuming it is to make these, I want to bring em back.

Here's the batch I managed to finish today:






See them HERE.
My question to you: Any specific color combos you'd like to see? Or more flowers w/ heart dangles, etc? LET ME KNOW!

And a very simple and chic gold bow ring! I'm really liking this one, and I think you will to =). It's also very affordable! The wire-wrap is very neat and secure =)

Available HERE.

For the Christmas season, I've decided to make some cute cards/tags to add on to your gift wrapping. These will be about $1 each, and will be completely optional, in case you want something a lil' extra. These cards will be 3D, made with the art of QUILLING-- which I will explain in a future post, when I have more examples done. There's also a holiday pre-order promo going on HERE. Speaking of gift packaging, I'm making additional boxes available on the gift wrap PAGE.

The 5% off coupon, OPEN5OFF, ends on Oct. 1st!

I'm going to get some rest and relaxation tonight-- I have some more exciting things coming soon!
