Snapdragon Beads

I managed to get, snatch even wrench some time to myself be it ever so brief, as my life at the moment is very much dictated by housework and the whims of a 6 and a half month old person, and do some  bead weaving experimentation. 

At the moment my work is noticeably evolving from the Herringbone stitch cuffs; earlier there were the pendants… and now thinner pieces with more of a curve in them. I messed around with looping them back on themselves and a pleasing Paisley motif just hopped out at me. Initially I thought, Pendant. But given the non selling state of the other pendants and further rumblings along the lines of brooches from various sources I decided to give it a whirl and attach brooch backs.

I am glad I tried it out as it seems to look quite well.

Here is the first one, all listed on Etsy, and there two more waiting for me to get up the gumption to photograph them…

I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone by, and most of it is a blur now, but I think I can attribute much of that to having had a baby in April.

The little one is now 4 months old and all things considered a pretty good baby.

Time has passed so quickly too that my birthday is now uncomfortably close! So to celebrate my last birthday in my 20’s I’m offering 10% off all items in my Etsy store, which as you should all know is at: http://snapdragonbeads.etsy.com/

The 10% will be refunded via paypal. Also don’t forget to pop “Happy Birthday” in the message to seller box, you’ll get the refund without it, but with it you might get something a little extra

This promotion will be running from then 22nd until the 28th of August.

And more items will be listed before the 22nd!

Not so much with a bang - because the camera battery died just when I got some of that pregnant lady energy that I’d been promised for the last 6 months and I had planned to take lots of pictures and list lots of items…. - but there are a grand total of 3 items listed in the Etsy shop.

The address for which is http://snapdragonbeads.etsy.com/ . This will be my main outlet for selling non-commissioned items, you can still deal with me directly if you want to make a special order based on something that you saw on Esty but has sold or in a different colour-way.

Another source of inspiration for items is my Flickr photostream: http://flickr.com/photos/snapdragonbeads/ .

Both of these sites provide RSS feeds so you can be kept up to date as new items/pictures are added. Which at the moment relies on us being able to find a battery charger which has gone awol!
