| Aluminum Wire Artistry by Refreshing Designs Posted: 30 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT 
I was delighted when Utah based Heidi Sears became my Google + follower. That's because I was then able to explore her Etsy store, Refreshing Designs. What an apt name because her wire work is certainly refreshing!  | | Mid Summer's Eve Bouquet Flower Bib necklace | Heidi calls it the new look of wire wrapping. She said, " I get tons of compliments from total strangers when I wear my jewelry and so will you!" It's easy to see why she does. She uses thick anodized aluminum wire wire to make really bold and at times colorful wire work jewelry.  | | Tricolored Tear Drop Earrings | Heidi's designs are also well photographed. Most of her earring designs use earring cards to prop up the pieces. Her shop name is thus prominently displayed. I am not a fan of watermarks going across pictures as they detract greatly from designs. So Heidi's solution for most of her earring creations is clever!  | | Snowflake Earrings |  | | Some Wire over Rainbow Necklace | It is heartening to see an aluminum wire artisan do so well. It's not always about the precious metals is it?  | | Bleeding Heart Elven Bracelet | Before You Go: ______________________________ Original Post by THE BEADING GEM Jewelry Making Tips - Jewelry Business Tips         |
| Winner of Urban Lace's Eco Jewelry Giveaway Posted: 29 Oct 2012 04:47 PM PDT 
There may be only one color in Urban Lace's bicycle inner tube jewelry but black goes with everything! As last week's giveaway pictures show, this amazing eco jewelry line is not only striking but environmentally friendly. The collection is a shining example of how cleverly reusing unwanted and unlovely material in stunning jewelry designs can be done. Quite a number of you appreciated the recycled aspect and loved the designs. They do have the look of tattoos, don't you think? In order to pick a winner, I numbered all the eligible entries and then consulted random.org. Their random number generator picked the one assigned to Kathy Lowe! Congratulations! ______________________________ Original Post by THE BEADING GEM Jewelry Making Tips - Jewelry Business Tips  |
