Dressers

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. It is not for lack of doing anything crafty, but it had more to do with working on my book Mermentau: Seal of the Forgotten. When it comes to things I make...for some reason my poor wife never seems to get anything. We were in need of some new dressers so I went to work. I got these dressers at Goodwill and with a little paint, paper, Mod Podge, and some knobs from Hobby Lobby they were revitalized. I did a little crackle/distressed finish on the orange dresser and on the pink one I cut a ton of paper pieces and made a collage on each drawer.

Ring-a-ling

Here are a couple of ring pics.

More Pics

It is time to add some new pictures. You will notice that I have created some new styles. One is regular size, but I call it my double-double. It is double beaded and double sided, so it is really two bracelets in one. I have also added rings to the mix. You will also see the big double-double. It is just like the regular double double but the pieces are about a 1/2 inch longer. I hope you like them.

I Think They Like It

First I want to thank the friends, family, and all that came out to the boutiques; it was a lot of fun and an overall success. It was really rewarding to see the interest in my domino jewelry creations. As a matter of fact it was there was so much interest in the portion of my inventory that I think I will just be focusing on that. There are so many styles and creations that I have not even introduced yet. I am working on getting my Etsy store up and running. It is ready, I just need to add the inventory. There was also a lot of interest in hosting parties which I think is a great idea. If anyone is interested in hosting a party, where I just bring out the inventory and the guests try them on and just hang out I will be up that starting mid January. Of course if you put on the party there will be some incentive for you. Again thank you to all and keep checking for the opening of the Etsy shop.

2 Boutiques this Weekend

Well, I managed to get myself into two boutiques this weekend. I am pretty excited since this will be the second and third time the jewelry has been unleashed to the public. I think I will see a different crowd from my first boutique, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Here are the details:

Urban Dictionary's Definition of Mancrafts

I just couldn't resist. I was searching mancrafts on google doing some work to get my Etsy store started and this popped up from Urban Dictionary. I had to post it.

1. mancrafts

Crafts that guys do, but don't call crafts since that would be really gay; for example: building bongs, modding Xboxes, arcade video game restoration, making leather goods (but that is kinda gay if it's black leather), woodworking, modding and upgrading engines and cars, etc.

It is not a perfect fit, but the fact that someone tried to define it was pretty funny.

Table Pictures

Here are some photos of my table at the boutique. It wasn't necessarily a show stopper, but I thought that overall it was a success. That to Chet for the mirror and grandma for the extra tablecloths.
