Snowflake Obsidian and Black Onyx

I've finally been able to begin listing some of my new designs on my Etsy shop now that my home showing is over.   
This week I've added my Snowlfake Obsidian and Onyx Bangle and Drops to the shop.

Onyx and Obsidian Bangle

 Spring is here and that means shorter sleeves, perfect for showcasing a great bracelet and this swinging bangle will not disappoint! I love the movement this bangle has!



  
Onyx and Osidian Drops       

I was immediately drawn to the sterling silver vase beads used in these drops.  Such an unexpected shape!




Snowflake Obsidian is one of my favorite gemstones.  I really love the dalmation semblance it has.  Perfect for so many pieces in my wardrobe.  
And the simple beauty of black onyx cannot be denied!

Happy Wednesday!

Behind the Moon First Home Show - April 2011

As many of you know I recently had my first home showing of my jewelry designs and I'm SSOO excited to report....
it was a success!
I worked really hard on all aspects of the show and sale and it seems that most of it worked out really well, I will tweak a few things here and there but my second one shouldn't be as labor intensive as the first (I know my husband and boys are happy about that).

It would not have been a success without the
support of my friends and family.
You all have been so encouraging since way before Behind the Moon was even a legitimate business and I can't thank you enough for coming.
And to those that brought guests...
A HUGE THANK YOU
for helping to expose my designs to some new eyes.
That alone is invaluable to me.

So here are some pics from the day.  Too bad it was such a gray rainy day.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves!

Me and all my lovelies. 
I had three main displays set up.  My mantle works so nicely as a display space  but I will be designing a single table scape for future home shows and craft fairs.

My budding beader

Just a quick post today to share one of my son's creations.  He made this special for me and I just love it.






I attached the clasp but he selected the beads and strung it himself.....not a bad design for a 4-year-old!  I love that it has many of the colors I wear on a regular basis so it looks good with a variety of things in my closet.  He always wants to play with my beads but it takes a VERY watchful eye to let him do so.  All those little beads go scattering and we're in trouble :)

Do you have a budding artist at home?
