I have been Remiss

The titles says it all. I haven't done anything jewelry-wise. Horrible. Just horrible. Well, I can't really explain it all. I've been working and exploring Las Vegas. There is definitely fun stuff to do here. And not gambling. I don't. I especially enjoy hiking. And I've been exploring other artistic expressions. I started painting again and working on my drawing ability. Everything seems to be based on drawing. I figure that if I can become a better artist, I can create more appealing jewelry. I haven't gotten any comments yet on my polymer clay bracelet, so I don't know how other people liked it. I certainly do. I'm thinking about buying one of them myself. Yes, I have others I haven't posted. I know, it's horrible... :)

I'm about to start my vacation as well, so there will be additional time with no posts. Such is life, I suppose. We have so much to do.

Well, I hope to post more jewelry related things soon!

Art

Well, well. Surprise, it's been forever since I've posted. Well, maybe only a couple weeks, but that's long enough. I've been busy with work, and with other things. Nothing that's really important. I've had so much time to myself now that Karla's not here anymore. You'd think that I would have PLENTY of time to update the blog, post new items, create jewelry... and I do. I just have chosen not to do that... :)

I have been doing artsy stuff. When we were moving, Karla saw some paintings (oil) that I had done way back in Junior High when I was taking lessons. She encouraged me to start again, saying they were really good. Now, she has me figured out. The best way to get me to do something is to say I'm good at it. I know that the paintings really aren't that good, but I figured that I'd try anyway. I made a separate blog for my art stuff, that doesn't have to do with jewelry. Right Here.

Well, I know that I have been remiss. I will attempt to remedy that today. I'll get some new items photographed and posted and I'll try to finish another polymer clay bracelet that I've been working on for the past couple weeks. Tah-tah!!

Alone Again

Well, it's 1230am my time, and I just dropped Miss Karla off at the airport. So, I'm going to be alone again, all alone, again for a month. Well... we know what that means. I get to do whatever I want! *evil laugh*

I'll still be making new jewelry and posting it. I'm on a polymer clay craze right now, so I'd expect to see more things like the wristband pop up. I'll get to check out all those mountain trails here in Vegas now, even though I'll probably have to take a gallon of water with me due to the intense heat! Karla doesn't want me hiking the mountains alone, so don't tell her!

Polyclay in the HOUSE

I've been wanting to try to make a bracelet or wrist band out of polymer clay for quite some time. It's an idea that keeps coming to my mind and I had to try it out. So, last night, I finally broke down and started the project. It was a little more complicated than I anticipated and took some more thought than the initial idea, but I think it turned out really well! The one I listed in our online store, I have on hemp cord. I'm not sure that I like that look, but I didn't have anything else to use and it looks decent. I'm thinking it would be better with leather cord. I have more ideas for wristbands that I'm going to implement.

And Karla is going back to Mexico to visit her family again, and this time, I'm going to join her there! She's lucky and will get to go for over a month, and I can only take 2 weeks vacation. So I'll join her down there later and then we'll come back with new toys!

Our Fourth of July sale is still going on, buy one, get the second at HALF PRICE! You just can't beat that. We'll see you 'round!

Independence Day

It has been way to long since I've posted anything. I'm very sorry. With the move to Las Vegas, change in work responsibilities, we haven't quite gotten into a rhythm that allows us to do everything we want to do. But, hey! It's the 4th!

And what better way to celebrate than a BUY ONE GET ONE HALF OFF sale!? That's right, buy one item, get the second HALF OFF!
