Ooo Pretty World: February 2009
http://oooprettyworld.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Dumortierite is very hard, which is probably why it takes such a great polish. My word, you should see this stone shine! To give you an idea, the scale of hardness, called the Mohs scale ranges from graphite (like a lead pencil) at 1 to diamonds at 10. Dumortierite is found in Austria, Brazil, California, Canada, France, Italy, Madagascar, Namibia, Nevada, New York, Norway, Poland,. Now you know way more than you ever wanted to about that!

Ooo Pretty World: May 2009
http://oooprettyworld.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. Since I quit my job at Heritage Adoption Services, everyone who knows me knows that things have changed massively for me financially. It took me a little longer to figure it out. HA! I kept right on buying beads and books (my favorite things! For months before I realized, you know, I'm going to run out of money if I keep this up. (I may be slow, but I can be taught! One of the ways I'm economizing is that I've gone back to the library. Yikes! The story is full of period details and ...

Ooo Pretty World: September 2008
http://oooprettyworld.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. Never thought I'd need an avatar. While I was busy cropping photos to make an avatar for the Etsy store, I got to thinking about what a funny word it is. What is an avatar anyway? I mean, I know what it has come to mean in computer-speak, but I had vague feelings that it had to do with something in the Hindu religion. So once I had a bunch of images cropped to see the possibilities, I went to the dictionary online and looked it up. I'm such a geek. Saturday, September 27, 2008.

Sunday, May 24, 2009. I was wandering blogs not too long ago and came to the blog by etsy member MillionMinds, http:/ asmindgoesby.blogspot.com/. She was having a giveaway! I have loved giveaways since I was in high school and won a microwave at the state fair by throwing my fully completed 3x5 card into a huge chest freezer supplied by Big Jim's Appliances. I didn't really want to, but Mom insisted we sign up for all the free prizes, just in case, because after all SOMEbody was going to win. My Turn for...

Ooo Pretty World: December 2008
http://oooprettyworld.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. I am constantly astonished by what I find on Etsy! There are an unbelievable number of creative people in the world, and they're making such fabulous stuff. Sometimes I look at what they make and think, "How can I translate that into stone and wire and metal and make an astonishing piece of jewelry? They're utilitarian. She did, and I love her for it. (I need to get some of those for my nieces! Monday, December 1, 2008. Once I got started, I couldn't seem to stop! And they repre...

Ooo Pretty World: Wilma Flintstone Rides Again!
http://oooprettyworld.blogspot.com/2009/06/wilma-flintstone-rides-again.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Wilma Flintstone Rides Again! I think it's fascinating to see where we all get our inspiration. My favorite necklace that I've ever made is this one: I call it Wilma Meets Barbie. When I started, I just had this strand of gorgeous pink peruvian opal large faceted nuggets. They were really expensive! But Dennis at Beauty and The Beads will often make a deal with you if you buy a lot. What can I say? They're huge and I love them! When you wear this, you know you're wearing jewelry!

Ooo Pretty World: October 2008
http://oooprettyworld.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2008. I've had an interesting and creative week, though not in the way I might hope! One of the things I've been learning to do is use my camera, because a good camera is absolutely essential to making my jewelry available online and creating a portfolio. So I was looking around the back yard for places to hang a pair of earrings to photograph them, and I thought hey, what about these posts? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
