Black and White Collection

Somewhere between studying and work, I found some time to bead this fall!  Here's a peak at some clay pendants and ear rings I'm working on for the 2009 Christmas collection.  Kudos to my sister for all of her photo work!

Interested in how these were made?  Check out my post on the clay art process.

New Packaging

My sister has been working on some new and improved packaging for this year's Christmas collection.  She has embellished the boxes with stamping, an embossed logo, and satin ribbon. Inside the lid of the gift box she's attaching a story about the clay art process.

Red Collection for Christmas Inventory

I finished a few earring styles to go with the stacked red pendants.

Stacked Clay Pendants

I made some new pendants this past weekend. I'm getting into a clay stacking mode - it's a new design style for me.

Dangly Clay Pendants

I spent the day cleaning, packing and making these pendants. I'm debating if I should add another bead to hang in the middle of the silver loops.  Decisions, decisions....

Seattle Collection

I made a few more green and blue pieces for the growing Christmas inventory.   These earrings use the green and blue canes I created in August as well as an older design from last year.

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!
