Item of the day - wire crochet Christmas ornaments

It's still early, I know. But since my last wire order arrived, I couldn't hold myself back. Christmas ornaments from crocheted copper wire in different colors and there are still so many more to try out!
And an extra bonus is that they can't break! ;-)

GoldLily's work on JewelStruck

For a while I've been posting my jewelry designs on Facebook and Flickr, written blog about them. Hard work has been worth, since last week my photos were noticed on Facebook and I got invitation to blog in JewelStruck. For a jewelry designer, creating beautiful necklaces, bracelets and earrings is such a victory to be invited to publish own designs in an other blog.

Being a member of Artfire Europe is the same also. Supportive community, members who can understand difficulties to be a artisan on the web which is crowded by international and especially American crafters, is giving a lot. New ideas, intresting studios and a lot of nice, helpful artisans on one guild. Each member expands other members network and finally we are connected through each others to a huge group of people.

Cold winter is coming. Beautiful boot chain will stay visible even when most of jewelry will be hidden mostly under warm winter cloths.

Lavendar cushion in linen with vintage lace and stamp with ladybugs. Have got a ribbon so you can hang it wherever you want.

Filled with lavendar which not only smells very good, it does also work to keep little bugs away. Perfect to keep in your closet amongst your clothes.
