Jamie and Tristi.

E-mail me (banglesbeadsnbaubles@gmail.com) and tell me what you want and I will create it for you. Color, size all that kind of stuff.

I don't care if it is a hand painted bangle or something beaded, just let me know. Be sure you give me your mailing address so I can send it to you when I am done.

Boutique and give away

2009-11-08T13:37:00.002-07:00

Sweets Tweets Boutique

3314 W CHANTEL DRIVE

RIVERTON UTAH

November 13-14

I will have jewelry at this boutique, so if you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out. There will be all kinds of cute things there and you can start your Christmas shopping early.

Too kick it off I am going to hold a giveaway. Take a look around. See if there is anything you like and tell me in the comments. Or tell me what you would have me create for you. On Thursday, after I set up at the boutique and am no longer stressed over getting enough jewelry made to make the boutique worth while, I will draw a name from everyone that has entered and you will get a piece of jewelry made with love, just for you.

If you can't make it to the boutique and want to purchase something, let me know and I will create it for you and then list it in my etsy shop as a special order.

Oh, and I needed a logo. I knew kind of what I wanted and asked Jess to create something for me. This is what I told her, "My business name is BanglesBeadsN'Baubles and I need something that says jewelry, mostly bracelets because I do them more than anything else. I am not sure what colors I want. Could you create something for me and then we'll go from there?"

I know, I am a hard client. But this is what she came up with, and I am so pleased. (and thank you Karlene for doing the business card file for me)

I am having a hard time uploading the logo. I am going to have Jess send it to me in a different format and then I will edit this post with to include it.

Flight

2009-10-17T16:28:00.004-06:00

When I finish a bracelet I usually say, "This one is my favorite."
Some turn out just like I envisioned them, some just turn out, some I paint over and do again, and some... some turn out better than I envisioned. And then I have a hard time putting them in the inventory box.

This is one such bracelet. In fact, it didn't go in the inventory box. It went straight into my jewelry basket. But I will be making more to go into inventory. And I always do custom orders.

I love how this little butterfly escaped and flew

For Bronte

2009-09-08T05:30:00.003-06:00

The other day one of the kids asked me where I got my designs for the bracelets I paint. I told them that sometimes I just stare at the wood until something comes to mind. Sometimes it is the color that suggests what to do with it. Or the idea just comes to mind. And sometimes a pattern in nature or on a piece of material gives me an idea.

The other day at work I saw a cute shirt on one of the students. I thought it would be a cut pattern for a bracelet. Later in the day she came into my office and let me take a picture of her shirt.

The following is the bracelet I painted based on her shirt

I took it to work the next day and everyone fell in love with it. I gave it to the student with the condition that if anyone asks, she has to tell them where to get one. Her mother and sister fell in love with it and she has worn it 3 times since then.

I also have a couple orders for custom bracelets for Christmas presents.

And I am working on resizing my photos so that I can list bracelets on Etsy. I'll post the information as soon as that is done.
