I am hearing good things about Artfire.com and the best thing is NO FEES!! You can set up a store for free but it definitely pays to sign up for the $7/mo deal right now. It is only being offered to the first 5000 and they are over half gone already. So check it out. Register on ArtFire.com

Where has the time gone? It’s time to start anew and with the economy the way it’s going, it’s hard not to stay upbeat. But I am hopeful that things will turn around so I am busy working on my jewelry. I have been doing chainmaille recently and I really like the way my bracelets turn out. So far I have only given them away as gifts but I hope to sell some too.

Here is a sample.

Her favorite is beading, especially the art of French Flower Beading. Her Etsy Shop is full of beautiful beaded items.

I am also impressed with Craftymoose’s ACEO’s. An ACEO is playing card size (2.5 X 3.5 inches) and is a great way to own an original piece of art.

Be sure to check out Craftymoose’s Etsy shop http://craftymoose.etsy.com and also her blog http://craftymoosecrafts.blogspot.com

You have many wonderful items to choose from her shop for that special occasion.

I can totally identify with her. She is self-taught like me and she has learned many different styles of jewelry making. Take a look at her Etsy shop. She is a member of the Etsy Texas Crafters and the Christian Artist Street Teams as well as being a member of SRJAD (Self-Representing Jewelry Artist Designer #1106). There are so many nice, classic pieces in her shop. My pick is this pendant.  Elegant and simple but also different from what you normally see.
