A confession!

Ok, so I am still fairly new at this blogging thing. I must confess that I have not figured out how to make it fancy like some people have theirs, but it is mine and I will get it eventually. 

I am going to show a barefoot sandal that have made and not yet listed. I have never made one of these before and I am so proud of it!! Take a look and let me know what you think. 

The ankle part wraps the ankle 3 times. 

Seahawk bracelet is finished!!!

I had some changes last week and was released from my part-time "day job". This has freed up more time to work on my passion, jewelry!! I got the Seattle Seahawks quadruple wrap bracelet done!! I will be listing it on Tuesday, for sale, in my Artfire shop: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/RoxysRox.
Here is a sneak peek at it. 

Oh jeepers, I made a mistake. This is a triple wrap, not a quadruple wrap bracelet. 

Apology for no post last week and new project

I have to apologize for not posting a blog last week. I was sick and then my grandkids got sick and it was not a pretty sight here at my house.

I have a new project I am working on in between making custom orders. It is a Seattle Seahawks colors wrap bracelet. It will be a great addition to your fan jewelry. Here are the first photos of the work in progress.

I also have a new listing on my Artfire website. It is a fun double anklet and earring set. The anklet can also be worn as a necklace. Here are the photos of it.

I hope you take a look and love it!!

Today's blog post

I am so sorry, I have been ill and today's blog post is postponed until tomorrow.

Rock Roller Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show

I finished my Catherene the Great Necklace and sent it to the customer that I made it for and she loved it!!

 Currently I am working on another project; however, I do not yet have any pictures of it. It is the project that I recently referred to, asking you to think Seattle. I had started it and did not like the way it was going so I have ripped it out and have started over.

This past Saturday, we went to the Spokane Rock Roller Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show and I was in hog heaven!! So many pretty rocks and gemstones to look at and oooh and aaaahhh over!! I could have stayed there for days. I was looking for a certain Malachite piece that I could make into a pendant and I found some, although not "The One" so I did not purchase any.

I did find a book on gemstones that I can refer to, to get more educated on them so I can identify them when I see them.  Making jewelry is always a learning process for me, anyway. I had a great time there and if you get to a chance to go to one, please do.

Catherene the Great is done!!!

I got the Catherene the Great Necklace done and shipped to the customer at the end of last week. 

I am a little late getting this blog done today as I have not been home to write it. I apologize!! I will see if I can post another blog later this week to try to make up for this one being so late. I was thinking about doing a second one each week anyway. 

Here is the finished necklace: 

Observations and Catherene the Great Pendant

I have been blogging for a short time now (although, I have had this blog for several years now). Now I know why it sat for a longg time. I had too much on my plate, with working full time, making jewelry and taking care of my family.

Now that I am making my jewelry a full time pursuit, this blogging requires a lot more effort than just sitting down and writing your thoughts. I started planning today's post yesterday and I am still not ready to post it.

I finished my Catherene the Great bead embroidered pendant last night and grabbed a couple of photos using my cell phone so I could send them to the person that I am making it for and I could post those pictures but I know that they are not web quality pictures so I have to get out my camera and light box and take some more pictures that are web worthy. I will be back in a little while with the pictures.

Okay, I got the pictures taken and here is the finished pendant!!
