I've been working my (not so little) butt off getting my Etsy Store filled. I had fun dying a new batch of silk ribbons, & also on the process dying my left hand.
I am really pleased with the latest batch of silk ribbons, but learned a valuable lesson when playing with some new dyes. These dyes are specifically developed in New Zealand by Hands Ashford for silks & wools.
I have just discovered they are exported world wide because they are so good, however they are also a lot more potent than what I used for my last lot of silk ribbons! Guess who was inattentive with her colourshift ribbons & ended up with almost a whole batch of dark muddy brown silk.
I did say almost!
I asked the maille man for some chainmalle earrings to go with the bracelets in my store - & voila there they were!
A few bead 'specials' complete the current new additions.

These are a sampling of the listing's I put on our local auction site - most of which had sold by today.Tomorrow I hope to finish loading goodies onto my website, then it will be time to start all over again!

Your silks are all so beautiful, Deb-- I'm willing to bet that the "muddy" brown turned out to be a very rich coffee brown.
Beautiful listings!
You go, girl! Sorry the kool aid didn't work out for you!
looking really nice Deb..you've got some really pretty shades in your ribbons!
Miss Bat!
Those silks look scrumptiosly delicious!!
Thank you wonderful ladies! Mallory the koolaid works just fine - this stuff is just easier to set without any colour run. The only problem is that it 'set' like concrete- very dark lookin' muddy browm murky concrete - lol!
