Cyber Monday Special, 25% off everything (excluding post earrings) in my Artfire Studio, Willow Walker Designs!!!

Here is a preview of what I have managed to list this week. Now that I am working nights it seems as if I never have enough time to do everything I should do every day, let alone get enough sleep!

Two New Ring Listings!

I'm finally back to listing! I've started with the newest "batch" of rings I've made up.

The first one is my Adjustable Gold & Blue Ripple Dichroic Art Glass Wire Wrapped Ring in sterling silver. I've used a larger cabochon in this one and so as to make it lay on the finger better I have slumped it so that curved to fit your finger. ;)

The second in my Adjustable White Opalescent Dichroic Art Glass Wire Wrapped Ring in 14 gold filled wire. I really wish I could of caught how intense the colors in it are. Their is a whole rainbow of iridescent colors in it, purples, pinks, coppery red-orange, gold, blues greens and more. It truly is prettier in person.

Also I realized I haven't announced that I am offering free shipping on everything in my studio-Willow Walker Designs for the holidays!

The past week and half has been a rough one for me with my new "real job" delivering papers in the wee hours of the morning, fighting a cold and trying (not always successfully) to get enough sleep to function. I do believe that once I get over this cold and have adjusted to a new sleep schedule things will be much easier. I do feel as if a lot of stress has been removed from my shoulders and I have more respect for myself now that I am a "productive" member of society. This will also allow me to have a steady income to get my teeth fixed, not to mention money for more glass and gemmies! :)

Give-Away Winners!!!

I have winners to announce for my give-away! Robyn of Jewelled Trellis has won the Red Sweetheart Pendant and Cecily of 28 Sides Designs has one the Blue Floral Pendant. Needless to say I need mailing addresses ladies! I can ship these as soon as Monday!

Update "My Verra Crazy Life"

Just a quick update: The past week has been crazy hectic. I started a "real" job to support myself and my jewelry. I am now a newspaper delivery girl. Also have been fighting a cold and on jury duty.

My worries over my lack of income seemed to come to a head last Wednesday when I started having very bad dreams resulting in very little sleep thru this past Sunday night. And they were obvious financial worries about being able to continue my jewelry business as I would like too. I was thinking I would have to give up the shows and teaching to get a "real" job in retail. BUT I lucked out and the powers that be handed me a paper route on Sunday. Talk about the plum falling in the lap! This allows me to continue doing what I love and support myself and it! Of course all the stress and lack of sleep has resulted in catching a cold, but at least I'll be done with it until next spring.

Last week I went and left my camera in my booth at the market...this week I missed the time to go in and pack some stuff up to photograph...Luckily I was able to get into today as they were there. Sheesh, some days I tell ya!

I will be drawing and posting the winners of my give-away tomorrow. I apologize for not getting it done today and thank you all for your patience.

I am sorry to say that I left my camera at my booth this weekend. I can't get it until Friday. So I won't be able to share any of my new rings or pendants. :( Sorry everyone.

I have been working on my Glass Goddess Studio getting it ready for new listings and the moving of some of my work from my Willow Walker Designs studio.

The Last Five Listings

First I'd like to apoplogize for not having posted for the past FIVE days. I knew I was behind a couple, but didn't realize it was five. hand to head.. I've been catching up on my reading and evidently lost track of time worse than I'd thought. I'm sorry. The next two weeks will be very busy as I have jury duty and have a lot of stained glass to make besides fusing to do.

Two New Swirled Pendant Listings

My newest listings, Pink, Gold & Blue Dichroic Art Glass Swirled Wire Wrapped Pendant and Chocolate & Amber Dichroic Art Glass Swirled Wire Wrapped Pendant!

As the holidays are nearly upon us I am now offering free shipping for the holidays!

A bit of very good news. I finally seem to have my karma cleaned up and am back in the good graces of the powers that be. I re-arranged my booth (stall?) at the Bend Indoor Markets. People were actually stopping and looking again and my sales went back up to where they were before I moved over four feet, against the wall and 180 degrees. Also my fannypack that went MIA three weeks ago with my wallet and ID turned up. Evidently I hung it on the fireplace screen at my BFF's apartment. Black against black. We all looked at and walked past. LOL!

Winter Wonderland Collection

I was lucky enough to have my Winter Leaves Earrings included in this fabulous winter collection!

Blue Dreams & Red Friday

Here is the newest listing in the Elegance Collection. Blue Dreams, Dichroic Art Glass Wire Wrapped Necklace. 14k gold filled wire and chain, dichroic art glass cabochon and crystal beads.

The following is a direct quote from an e-mail I received this morning.

"RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday - and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.

By word  of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, Â co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED.

The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is.....We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example."

Here is the newest Elegance Collection listing, Burgundy Gemmies, Dichroic Art Glass Wire Wrapped Earrings. Just listed them in my Artfire Studio, Willow Walker Designs this morning!

So until the end of the month they are on sale for 40% off the regular price. I will be moving my Modern Bold Earrings, Modern Bold Pendants and the Art Deco Collection.

A pair of of my handmade dichroic art glass cabochons in rich shades of blue and aqua. Wire wrapped into 14k gold filled frames and embellished with handmade gold wire roses.

(I do have jury duty November 2 thru November 15th. If for some odd reason I am tied up due to this I will draw & post the names as soon as I can!)


I'm only listing one new item per day due to the fact I watched to much Netflix and unintentionally used 75% of my monthly allowance in the first ten days of this month. (blush)

Introducing the New "Elegance Collection"!

I'm finally intoducing my newest jewelry collection! The "Elegance Collection" I know I've been tempting you all for weeks with these pieces. I wanted to time this with the grand opening of the juried jewelry exhibit the first few pieces of this collection are part of in Sage Gallery, on the coast of Oregon in Bandon.

To celebrate I will be doing several things. One is I'm going to do a give away here on this blog! I will be giving away not one, but two pendants! The pendants shown above, my red Sweetheart pendant and the lovely white and gold floral on blue pendant! To enter to win one of these lovely pendants all you have to do is leave me a comment here on my blog. (appropriate, please or it will be deleted and your name will NOT be entered) I will write the names onto slips of paper and put them in a container. At the end of the time period I will randomly draw two names out of the pot. If you help promote this event I will add your name into the pot again! You have to leave me a link of where you promoted this studio at. (I have to be able to follow it!)

I have listed these stunning Black Cherry Delight, Dichroic Art Glass Wire Wrapped Earrings in my studio today. This is the first official listing of the new "Elegance Collection". I have put some items that were already in my studio into this category as they seem to fit the best.


Also I would love to hear opinions on an idea I am toying with. I am very tempted to hi-grade my studio and move a portion of my items to my other Artfire studio, The Glass Goddess. Leaving the fancier, higher end goodies in my Willow Walker Designs studio.
