Etsy (& FireBird) on Sale

Earlier today I had a play with the "Etsy on Sale" app & put my entire Etsy Store on 20% off.

The app itself is great & makes things incredibly quick & simple to do. However there is nothing that shows on your Etsy Store to indicate that prices have in fact been reduced, people have to visit the Etsy on Sale website to see that.
Still, it makes life a little easier than manually adjusting prices on Etsy, or having to adjust invoices or refund via Paypal.

A Little Different

I've been thinking about this. Perhaps because I have always been a little different to what is, or has been, expected of me.

My beads have taken the complete opposite path to that which I imagined when I first started lampworking. I set out wanting to make precise dot beads in bright colours & beads with raised floral designs.
Goodness knows why, because they wouldn't have worked in with the style of  jewellery I was making at the time. None the less those are what I wanted to make.

I never quite got there as the glass had other plans for me, & now I can finally say that I am happy with that.

Today here is something a little different to what I usually do with Chalcedony...style wise at least!

Hearts for Haiti

These three beauties going up on Etsy tomorrow night.

Heart#20

Heart#21

Heart#22

My hope is that somehow, in some small way, they will help a small beautiful person like this.

Rockin' The Chalcedony

Well until the next time I get one that floats my boat, spins my wheels, colours my world etcetera etcetera etcetera <--- said in my best Yul Brunner King of Siam voice.

Pacifika Batik - In what else but Gaffer Chalcedony

The again my Ebay user name is Just1-more....& with very good reason ;o)

What do Rainbows and Eggs have in Common?

Not a lot, unless it's me still playing with the Gaffer 109 - Chalcedony....and getting a bit too carried away in the process to take note of the shape my bead has gone.

Gaffer Rainbows

Chalcedony is still rocking da house in this neck of the woods!
Capturing the myriad of colours showing in this bead was a bit of a mare under studio lighting....where is the sun when I need it?
