| Metal Clay and Concrete Jewelry by Lulu Bug Jewelry Posted: 17 Apr 2012 04:00 AM PDT It's no coincidence I chose Sue's wonderful anatomical heart necklace as the first design. Hearts are always lovely and hers is unique. Think Mother's Day! All her designs in her Etsy shop, Lulu Bug Jewelry (named after her dog) are absolutely adorable!  Sue's pieces are made with fine silver (99.9%) and sometimes colored with tinted concrete. A highly talented individual, the motifs she uses are all her own artwork.  Sue uses metal clay and inlaid concrete to create her pieces. I had a hard time choosing which to feature but I have to admit, my favorites came from her woodland collection. Who can resist this whole family of owls? Or this colorful fox?  I'm very fond of owls and this design is just delightful as the owl peeks out of its tree nest!  This wolf pendant is also striking. The etching is done with ferric chloride. If you'd like to learn how it's done, check out Sue's tutorial on her blog.  Before You Go :

| Winner of Terri Faye's Beaded Bracelet Giveaway Posted: 16 Apr 2012 03:15 PM PDT Terri's awesome bead work certainly wowed as many of you left lovely compliments in last week's giveaway. One reader, Salla said "I do not understand why everyone wouldn't work with seed beads! They are wonderful and soothing and basically awesome! As is Terri's work." That's just it, not everyone wants to deal with small beads so winning a bracelet made by a master bead weaver will be a treat.  So who's going to wear it? Well, I numbered all the eligible entries and got random.org to pick the winning number. This matched up to Tainted Fiber! Congratulations! I'll bet it will look fabulous with your summer wardrobe. ______________________________Original Post by THE BEADING GEM Jewelry Making Tips - Jewelry Business Tips
