MAY (well, almost)

I am in the process of changing up my website..no more large pictures that make it take so much longer than it has to..it will just take you to my www.todjul.etsy.com site. I will make it so you can purchase from me still and not just on etsy.com's shopping cart. You will also be able to see multiple photo's of each piece. This will eliminate so much time listing the same things on both sites. I am working on an information page..stones, supplies, custom stuff..hopefully my vision will come to light by the time we are 1/2 way through May. I'm excited for all these new changes.

Using handmade Thai silver and labradorite have got to be my two favorite materials. This is a 5mm handstamped chain. Thai silver has more silver content than sterling and has a nice organic feel to it. The links are handstamped and soldered. The pendant I used is an organic cut Labradorite with tons of flash. You will see me use a lot of labradorite. I feel it transitions well from season to season..plus I love the blue flash and gray color. ~ I am updating my etsy site (todjul.etsy.com) with my latest labradorite and Thai silver pieces. These are all one of a kind.

Ready For Summer

Only about 5 more weeks of school for the kids and then I can get ready for our busy but lazy summer ahead. I am finished with round 1 of my summer line. I put everything away after making well over 40 new pieces. I am keeping a few but most are already listing on my website www.todjul.etsy.com. ~ I will schedule my show and I'm sure 2 weeks before that I will be making jewelry like a mad woman.
I am taking some time to learn a few things and work with my husband building his marketing business. Should be fun, but as with all new things...it's sort of intimidating.
Check out the jewels..I'm still putting pieces up. I have to work on my displays as well. I have found chalk board paint and I know I can do something funky with that.
Happy Spring
