MegsCrochetJewels Featured Artist Friday!

Earlier today I did a feature on my ArtFire internal blog about MegsCrochet Jewels. The necklace and bracelet I featured sold out of her Etsy shop within hours! I am so excited for Meg!

She offers free shipping and a lifetime guarantee on her jewelry!

Here's the link to my internal ArtFire blog post and some more items of Meg's:

List It Tuesday: Ideas for this weekend's Enameling Class

The focus of this Tuesday's list is the torch-fire enameling class I am taking this weekend at Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. Yay!

I have been stoked about this for the last six months and have wanted to take an art class there for YEARS!

So, some things I might try to make:

Gingko leaves
Customized tags for my 2 dogs
beads- solid and hollow

buttons
pendants
keychains

I'm not sure what else and I want to make the most of my time. Any ideas?

Busy Little Bee Me! Snap Shot Sunday!

All this weekend I have made Featured Artist Friday with Collections of some fabulous artists on Artfire!

I have a torch-fire enameling class coming up Halloween weekend at Campbell Folk Art School in Brasstown, NC...

and the weekend of November 6-7 is my very first craft show! It is at Biltmore Square Mall in Asheville. It is the first year for this show, but I thought I'd give it a go!

I will do my best to keep up with my postings, but I may run a little behind the next few weeks! Just FYI.
