Spice up your Sunday.....

Calling all bracelet wearers..........
This is one giveaway that you DEFINITELY do NOT want to miss out on!!!
This gorgeous bracelet was created by Elisabeth Strong. 

Elisabeth, who so generously donated this for our giveaway, has an etsy shop called Lizard Breath Beads.

Check it out by clicking HERE.


Here is Elisabeth's description of this beautiful piece....

"This has seven of my lampwork beads (two simple orange beads and five orange beads rolled and worked in a shimmering frit). The findings are copper and antiqued copper with a lobster clasp and the bracelet measures 9 3/4 inches."

To win???
Well....of course we just can't give this awesome bracelet away without asking a question.  I found the name of Elisabeth's Shop very interesting.  It made me wonder what goes into naming shops. If you have a shop and you would like to win this gorgeous bracelet, here is the question:

"What went into naming your shop?"

"If you don't have a shop, what are the kinds of names that you tend to remember the easiest as a buyer on Etsy?"

Feel free to share this giveaway on your facebook, twitter, blog, etc. and come back each time to let us know EACH TIME that you did.  Each must be a separate entry as each entry will count once.

On another note, we have been making some changes on our blog, to hopefully, create one that is different and fun to visit.  Here are a couple of the changes:

Mondays we invite you to join us for ART SPARK!!
This is a new challenge that will be replacing our former "Call-to-Create."

Check out our first challenge HERE.  Lots of great prizes to add to the fun.

Sundays will be a mix of giveaways and introductions to designers that create handamade with handmade.

Thank-you to everyone who has been following and participating with our blog.

And I can't forget this today......

Happy Mother's Day!


New Bangle Bracelets

I'm a bracelet kind of a gal.  I really love making them.  Maybe it's because my wrists are the only skinny part of me!  LOL  These are especially fun because I can add my other passion, "textiles!"  I love working with the silk and, of course, the color has great appeal.  Many of these ribbons are from Lisa Jurist.  What a great etsy shop she has.  All I need to do is to add a couple of brightly colored enamel beads and you're home!

I have many of these bracelets that I wear ... not all at once ... but I bet I could!  They are a favorite. The bracelet is about 75% metal and 25% other colorful stuff!  I've decided to start selling these ... and at the ridiculous price of $22, I might add!  If you're interested, just go to www.paintingwithfireartwear.com and click on "jewelry" at the sidebar and you'll be taken right to them.

Please visit me at my blog for a look at some other bangles I'm making that are enameled.  But before you go, let me ask you this: Do you have a special thing you like to make?  What is it?  Why do you like to make it?  Thanks for sharing ... it will help to turn this "monologue" into a "dialogue!"
