New Work!

Well, I have started on the one crescent shaped "stone" and am almost ready to cure it, and have started on the pink magnisite stone. I am very excited to have my hands busy again, and have plans for 4 more pieces using 7 more stones.

I found this wonderful store the other day (it is where I purchased some of my stones from) called Bally Beads. It's semi local to me (well worth the drive) but they do have a website (http://www.ballybead.com/). Walking into their store was fantastic. I did not have my tax certificate with me at the time, but I will be returning with it.

I have made a "new year resolution", though it has come a little late, to really make a concerted effort for my art business in the coming years. I have a lot to look forward to and a lot of things I want to be doing in the future, it's time I began tackling some of them.

See y'all next time!

Now Introducing ArtFire!!!

Leave it to the artistic community to do this.

It's been a long time coming.

It's way overdue.

But it is here now....

ARTFIRE!!!

It is a better version of Ebay and Etsy and so much more for artists and artisans. There are guilds to interact in, a place to find requests, and an opportunity to sell your stuff with NO FEES!

No fees - that means no listing fees, no hidden dees, no final value fees - !NOTHING, NADA, BIG OLE GOOSE EGG!

You can have a free account too! I choose to pay for mine to get the extras but the free accounts are excellent as well. Also, $7.00 USD a month for life (currently) ain't a bad deal at all. However, if you wait too long they will go up to $20.00 USD a month. Still not a bad deal, but more money.

If you are an artist or artisan you should sign up too:
ArtFire - Buy Handmade - Sell Handmade

Also if I refer 10 people who sign up for the $7.00 a month for life rate account my account is free, so if you sign up, please use the banner above. I would greatly appreciate it.
It's quick, easy, and well worth the effort.
