I've been super busy getting some more jewelry and onesies ready for my daughter's shop, The Paper Sparrow. The first onesie i made was my own design of a bumblebee, and here are the next two. I draw all my own designs and then stencil the main parts on the onesie, and embellish with paint pens. This is so much fun. I don't take enough time to paint, so this gets my crafting and painting urges out all at once!
Here is a closeup of the Ladybug. Next, i have a request for an "aquatic" theme....
I finished another mala and now need to give my fingers time to rest, working so intensely with the wire. This one is made of clear quartz crystal beads and rudruksha beads. The center bead is a clear quartz crystal nugget.
This is a little baby's rosary i made of small moonstone beads. I thought it would be nice as a birth or christening gift... This one is just a prototype, but i like the way it turned out and will go ahead and make some more...
The rosary on the left is made on flexible wire. I also make rosaries (on the right) using the hand made chain too. The rosary on the left is made with chrysocholla and agate. The one on the right is made of turquoise.
And because we got a lot of compliments on the aquamarine mala, i made this strand of aquamarine beads with matching earrings to be worn as jewelry. Now it is time to put the paint brushes down and put the metal smith tools away and clean my house!

Wanna do mine too?
It's terribly sad, but it just dawned on me that in my sad little mind, the idea of ultimate success when it comes to my business isn't recognition or status...it's simply having enough money to hire a maid and buy Burger King at will. Ahhhh, dreams.
Wow, a clean house... I'm jealous! Might get around to cleaning mine today, but since I'm short one daughter (hooray for Grandmothers!!) I'm sure I'll find something better to do, like catch up on some blogs!
Everything looks beautiful, hope you had fun last night!
Hey Katie-me Mother, you daughter! Why don't you come over here and clean for me!??? Eh????
Thanks Murray! Don't get me wrong...the house is clean every once in a while..but with 3 dogs, a long haired cat, and a parrot that goes wandering at will and leaves, well, "signs" that he has been there, plus the wheelchair that leaves tracks like an all terrain vehicle...i could never clean enough to keep it clean. Ah yes...i too, dream of a cleaning service.....
