I have SO many beads that I'm in love with, and I know that they'll make fabulous rings, but I needed to work out a few techniques for how exactly to attach them to a sterling base.<br /><br />I'm really pleased with what I've come up with so far, and glancing around Etsy, I haven't seen any others like them. :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >(Click images to view items.)</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19033406"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 377px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEEibxCUviotueD7CN5oKIF8no-ek7F_SjGwHtt4C4VaRKFgvQ_Zi_-fSNgPfchiXjGB4pYcxoLQmdEJx_U_g3CxquFwnDjvJO4OoKPQ4ZdY_rRLv2_Fk5jATKJcp24fTs6bg0xHYVvPk/s400/peridot1_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285260796083816194" border="0" /></a>Amethyst and Peridot.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19059519"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 370px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjssCN8lQCsEUw0cjffq4xpRhv7oVTW-Seu_3tEJxwYFpW_mLL6uPOBb9-3X05igNa9mp27FkqKuixiIT_pwXipvq2-Srqd-X-maFqR9Chm22_voARzZTiKOs9TPVSyUticiPrZGnJDvY/s400/tiger1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285260799426659538" border="0" /></a><br />Tiger's Eye.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19013951"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 351px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0lxFxT7WWSIkGR_KbD3wTtOgpPCMCWOy6VzvsrhXq2h9EE3QUgfDQEKpljCc0t3S5I4yvF4gW-D-oXa2_C9j9R-rBDeGworO21GQmzLhWxFQ924eh8-9zDgQzbfdrTxG3s5XKRekGXE/s400/amethyst1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285260787966437410" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Faceted Amethyst.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19015571"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 361px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbetzu8gPOBo2P3v9XGXBXledZD0cfqaE7wnD_-Gms6UYpLUh9bT-RJM0nWaf9t7OPPvhuPYSRyYN-rQHABZ0fzBW1iFDVZeja_6Ow4hBtOphQgt-0-RKT7KGQYjIWomBuLl4oSJNvs4/s400/hematite1_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285260783527659618" border="0" /></a><br />Hematite.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I have ordered MANY more fabulous stones which I hope will arrive soon so that I can make more of these rings.

Ring making- here I come. :)I can't remember what made me think of it, but it recently occurred to me that if I got myself a steel ring mandrel, I could make hammered sterling rings. I already had on hand a few feet of 16 gauge sterling wire that I had purchased before I understood that 20 gauge was what I needed to make earrings like these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18610558">Musical Notes</a>. So I went online and found a good deal on a steel ring mandrel that came with a small nylon hammer. I was so happy when it arrived. :D<br /><br />I started by making myself a ring. I needed to practice and learn anyway, and it's nice to have the very first of something when you're branching out into a new technique. :)<br /><br />I made a second ring in the same style, which turned out really well, and I have that one listed in my shop now.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >(Click images to view items.)</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18828346"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It's easy to enter- just blog about one of the shops or items participating in the giveaway and then leave a comment (on the <a href="http://sweetfigments.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-day-giveaway.html">host blog</a>) with a link to your blog post and your email address.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> (Click images to view items.)</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12720101"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlyIEZ9_WIB553BubNmtNaCd3U88zuWMvVOkjuymTsKrAvCFqLs2DI-rPTNQhrtgsh5dsVY24ngXmPgXduRs6aW5VJnVdSU7Nj_LzuSILkgD3XVLCzpLX2-iZu1OWv_EMuJIsmiVX4CBU/s320/rosehairpins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268970642411272402" border="0" /></a>For this feature, I asked <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5303745">2monkees</a> a couple of questions. Here they are, along with her answers. :)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Can you tell us a little about yourself?</span><br />I am the mom of two active little boys. A lot of my life is spent hustling them around and keeping up with all we have going as a family. Our whole family likes being outside running around and most of our free time involves some kind of sport- running, soccer, hiking, biking or skiing. I started making jewelry a little over a year ago and have become fairly obsessed. I enjoy having a creative outlet for my time!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How did you first find Etsy?</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15843514"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZVxWLBTPpBhFuaBEWBiGEi-gqcNIyqK0XOLqAmOlWxsTZKlonZ4I63OJL8Vs1D1xyBZ4x-PirC4HuWJFixdBi4MmlkUBgs2uX1bLHw-B24iCDDNvwRsyYHRiJ-Ac49Iri7VNnXtsnrGg/s320/ganeshring.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268971072816510546" border="0" /></a><br />I first found Etsy while trying to promote another business I was working with. I kept seeing references to "Etsy" on social networking sites but had no idea what it was. I was totally floored and hooked the first time I saw it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How long have you been selling on Etsy?</span><br />I first opened an account on Etsy about 18 months ago but it was not until the last six months or so that I became more involved with actually trying to have a shop.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What inspires you with your craft?</span><br />I find that I get inspiration from almost everywhere.... Sometimes it is something somebody says or something I see. Most frequently it comes when I am outside working out. Most of my jewelry has some sort of nature theme to it and my mind is often humming with new ideas as I am struggling through one of my slow jogs through the neighborhood.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17199535"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63xIjjeoTKJMfBx4xvPtNCuIsSdwxUnje6BFkHgcbJxXbUuoRVwTGhk8cgUVnUqi9GRkyv5Gw1CU_-gMRkcZnedb_UhNxNkmzrSmGMLwN4El8sb2mMxpguAIvgCWQ8O7DXJ5qiz4ufgI/s320/owlpendant.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268971378198427522" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is your favourite item currently for sale in your shop?</span><br />I think my favorite item right now is this round <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17199535">Eyes Wide Shut Pendant</a>. Last week, I thought I was finished making jewelry for the two shows I had for the weekend, than a catalog arrived that featured all these adorable bird pictures. I had to make this pendant. I love the detail of the eyes and the feathers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's the best advice you were ever given regarding selling on Etsy?</span><br />I think the best advice I was ever given about Etsy is to promote yourself outside of Etsy. Etsy has brought me many great things- wholesale orders, new community, etc but to be successful, you need to have sales outside of Etsy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do you have any upcoming shows, events or projects?</span><br />I am very busy with shows during the holidays and I will be keeping an updated calendar in my shop announcement.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">If you enjoyed this Artist Feature, check out the ones I did on, </span><a href="http://the-genuine-article.blogspot.com/2008/09/featured-artist-lewesiaglass.html">lewesiaglass</a>,<a href="http://the-genuine-article.blogspot.com/2008/07/featured-artist-jessijewels.html"> jessijewels</a>, <a href="http://the-genuine-article.blogspot.com/2008/08/featured-artist-celticknot.html">CelticKnot</a>, <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> <a href="http://the-genuine-article.blogspot.com/2008/08/artist-feature-hdawnparratt.html">hdawnparratt</a>.Sarah Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523131289507296455noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056974961614901730.post-75104158453887590492008-11-11T12:09:00.002-07:002008-11-11T12:14:26.859-07:00The Lovely Ms Linda!I just got a convo from the lovely Ms <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5056461">Lindabutterfly</a> letting me know that I'm in her gorgeous new Treasury! :)<br /><br />She added my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12175990">By The Seashore</a> shell bracelet to this beautiful collection.
