My work in progress! Another picture of Catherene the Great!

Please be patient with me while I get the hang of blogging. This still a little new to me.

Right now I am only writing a blog on Mondays; however that may change as I figure out that I have more to say on things.

I am a little late getting started today. Darn insomnia!! I realized last week that I did not have all of the beads I needed for this project, so I had to order the beads I forgot. I am waiting to get them in the mail. I was able to get something done on the project though and here is my latest photo of it:

I have named it Catherene, the Great!

New feature in my weekly blog

It is Monday and a holiday (President's Day for those that may have forgotten) and I am late getting started this morning. I am going to begin putting work in progress pictures on my blog. I have a pendant I have started planning and trying to work out the dimensions for a special order, for a special friend. It is heart shaped and is in beautiful colors!! I am trying to determine the scale so I can resize the pendant.

Of course pictures online are mostly way different than in real life, mine included, and so to determine what size with out a pattern or directions can be tricky! That being said, this is where I am at in this project:

Progress on my Artfire shop

I now have 5 items in shop that have been revised. All of the descriptions have already been updated and the 5 items also have new pictures. They are the first 5 items in my shop. Let me know what you think. http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/RoxysRox

Revamping my website

I have had my website, http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/RoxysRox since, I think 2008, and I decided to revamp the entire site. I have only had 5 sales since it opened and decided that there was something I was not getting, so I consulted with someone on Artfire for a critique, JimJuris, http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/JimJuris and he has been giving me pointers and is helping quite a bit. 

It will take me a few weeks to get it all done but I think it will result in more sales and maybe I might be able to make a living off of my site. Please be patient while my site is under construction.
