Talk about some self motivation. I'm kicking my butt into gear here. Ive picked out a new color scheme for web design and I will be making my Etsy site, future website and my craft show display all very cohesive. I'm in the process of tracking down someone to help me design the new logo that I have in my head too. I'm dedicated to make my maille a success and I'm going to start getting my butt out there. So there will be a lot of new designs and pictures coming soon.

Here is my second chainmaille covered candle holder design. I'm loving this one tons too.



Aluminum half persian 3 in 1 weave "collar" draped with a simple 1 in 1 chain and accented with spider charms. The candle holder is 11" around at its widest in the middle, the opening is 2.25" in diameter, and 5" tall.

New Design

Here it is. A brand new designed chainmaille covered candle holder. This is the first of many more patterns to come. I made this the other night and I couldnt be happier about it.




Stainless Steel rings in a European 4 in 1 pattern. The glass candle holder is about the size of a softball, 12.5" around the widest and 2.5" diameter opening. Ive had mine burning for hours and the rings havent gotten that hot, alittle warm, but not dangerous.

I plan to make a more feminine one out of some aluminum rings with beads nad dangly things.

Ive been a bad blogger. :) No post in awhile, since my personal life has been all over the place in the last couple months. Thing are definately settling down now, and Im working on one of my goals for the new year to work on a lot more pieces.

Here are just a couple of bracelets that I had started and now finished and posted for sale on Etsy. Nothing too grand, but baby-steps, the bigger pieces I want to work on will be coming soon.

A japanese weave in a wavey pattern. Im liking how this one came out. A matching necklace will sone too. Made from bright aluminum rings that I made myself.



Just a simple tiny byzantine weave. I make this in a necklace and just threw together this bracelet too. Made from bright aluminum as well.

Another goal I had for 2008 was to be more active in pursing modeling. Ive recently found an amazing photographer so Im hoping for some great pictures of me in some of my larger pieces soon.

I'll try to be better with posting more, I promise. :)

My new Halloween piece. I wore one all day.

Halloween is Around the Corner

Its getting to be my favorite time of year. The summer starts to cool down, and usually we have such brilliant fall colors in the trees. Halloween is coming. My favorite holiday. Here a a few of my pieces that are Halloween themed. More to come tomorrow when I can get some daylight pictures. *Spoiler* The new one has neat bone shaped beads.

I got my feet wet at my first craft show this weekend. A friend of mine had some table space at the Rice craft show so she let me set up. I think I did pretty well. Definately learned whats in demand at a craft show and whats not. Im definately hooked now. I want to do more.
