Return of the Wine Charms

I've received many requests for wine charms over the past year, so I added about 8 sets to the Christmas inventory.  I'm hopeful my sales projection is correct.  There won't be much time for last minute beading between final exams and papers this year!

New Packaging Slips

The wine glass markers and a few snowflake ear ring orders are ready to ship. I want the end recipients to know that these items are handcrafted - and not Walmart jewelry! My sister helped me with a new packaging slip design. The slip explains the clay cane process and includes my logo and contact info.

I gathered a few ideas at a stamping party today. I think I may try to get the logo made into a stamp or attempt to make my own using a block-style eraser. I love new ideas....

More Wine Please!

Here's a shot of the wine glass markers that I've completed so far. I still have a bunch of colors to make.

Bring on the Wine

I spent the day designing wine glass charms. It's the classy alternative to using plastic cups and Sharpie markers. Here's a shot of my first one as well as the work in progress.
The trick here is to make each one unique. So, I went a little crazy creating different colors. I'm planning on varying the designs as well. This project took a little longer than expected because I made way too many! I have an order for a set of 10 and will hopefully be able to gift or sell the rest. Watch this space for a finished shot tomorrow.
