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!
