Gott Beads On ArtFire

I usually take Sundays off from the computer, but because I'm still trying to play catchup for the Art Fire Crazy Train, here I am. I'm behind a couple of days - and hope to be caught up soon.

So, today I am featuring Gott Beads from Glendale, Az. Like many of us, she has managed to buy a lot of beads, and selling some of them. She has pretty awesome beads, like these lavender jade ones. I almost don't want to do features of bead shops, it's too tempting especially when they have good prices, and free shipping like this shop has!

I really like these Crazy Lace Agate Pyramid beads - those are really cool - what pretty colors in those. She has lots of natural stone beads, some dyed, some natural, so if you are into beads go check out this shop. And free shipping - what a deal! as usuall title links to the shop!

oooh these are tempting -

Wyred on Wire on ArtFire

And just how many wonderfully cool things can one find on ArtFire? And I love this name Wyred on Wire. From St. Stephen, NB this is Wyred's artist statement:
"My jewelry is a mirror. Not only does it show the reflection of myself,but also of you and your personality. I am compelled by a love triangle. My need for a creative venue, the need for beautiful objects to be manipulated and your need to be beautifully adorned.I most frequently work with Sterling silver, Gold filled, Copper, Brass, Leather,Gemstone, Swarovski Crystal, Pearls. However any medium that inspires my imagination to transpire can be found in my designs. I have been creating jewelry in some form or another since I was a small child. In the past 8 years is when I became serious about it and started to sell my jewelry."

Chances are I'm going to go for the blue items - some people think blue somehow links to depressive thoughts - I sort of think its just the opposite - I think blue is soothing, and airey, and just pretty. And aren't these really cool earrings - even the earwire is handmade! I really like the way the wire holding the stones is wrapped around the earwire with the little jewel dangling below it.
Or how about these little flowers - love the way the little green crystal pokes out sort of like a leaf really would! That's kind of cool! Wyred on Wire - exactly what these are! With lots of pretty jewels attached.

Of course there are some other very pretty jewelry items in this sweet studio, go take a look - some very creative handmade pieces.

I'd much rather have something unique and handmade than something that a zillion other people are wearing, wouldn't you?

PICARDCREATIVE ON ARTFIRE

Besides being a mom to a teenage boy, 2 cats, running a brick and mortar store, Paula of Picard Creative also makes these cool magnets using recycled lids, and she has also been the "instigator" and head conductor of the CrazyTrain on Artfire!

Almost everyone uses magnets for something, mom's putting up artwork on frigs, posting notes of things to do, and what a cool way to send a greeting to someone that probably won't end up in the trash like so many cards do. And they are FUNctional too!

There are many magnets in her shop that I like, so choosing just one or two for the promotion was a bit hard, but since I love "The Wizard of Oz" I chose this one to start!



She has also been quite busy getting this Crazy Train promotion going and keeping us all in line! Go check out her shop, buy a cool handmade magnet for yourself or someone you love. Isn't it so much more fun getting something someone made with their own two hands, that is well made, and not mass produced! I think so.
