Happy New Year!
Even I can’t believe I let so long go by without an update. I am suitably ashamed!
I’m not going to even try to make excuses for myself. I have been just too busy these last couple weeks. I’m thinking of shutting down my kituchi shop. The truth is that I just don’t have the time to promote it. I sell my work outside of etsy as well as working on my TenJewel Etsy store and working full time. With Etsy, you sorta get what you put into it and that’s all there is to it.
Anyways, I hope that everybody had a great holiday.
I’ve personally just gotten so fat, I really have. I'm on a cabbage soup diet now.
Here’s some of my latest pretties:

Ok, I know I haven’t updated here in such a long time. Items in my store fell below 20 due to multiple orders so I had to work hard to put items back in my store. Lots of new items now! Lots of new gemstones too and my Andalusite arrived! Seriously, there are too many new items for me to show you here so I’ll just post a few of my favourites.
I realise that I missed a featured etsyian interview too and I’ll bring those back next Friday. I actually read on the forum on etsy that some people look for payment in the form of freebies and whatnot from people that they feature. I’m so shocked by that. The reason that I run these interviews is because I enjoy doing them, I love reading artists interviews and I’m genuinely interested in other designers work, what they’re trying to do and why. If you have a store on etsy and you want to be featured, it’s completely free so just comment here or send me a convo.
I’m going to have my Wrapped Sunstone Earrings with Hill Tribe Silver, Freshwater Pearl and Peridot
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6811312 featured on
http://www.smidge.ca/. It’s a fantastic looking site and really well laid out. It showcases handmade items created by independent artists and has a different a theme each week. My earrings will be under this weeks theme of Shades of Summer. My favourite theme so far is probably Grassy Green:

OMG, I’ve just had a major supplies shopping spree. I cleaned out my studio a couple of weeks ago to get rid of all the beads that I had in stock that have been discontinued or because I only dealt with that supplier one time. Anyways, out with the old and in with the new!!…God I’m so broke. Here’s what I bought and will be featuring in my designs shortly. I might actually sell some overstock in these beads on etsy because I had to buy full strands in gross and in some cases I just wont be using them all.
I bought probably about TEN different types of chalcedony briolettes, I love them so much I bought every colour except rose pink because that was sold out, Karen Silver Orchids, flower buds, roses and hammered stations. Lots of Karen Silver, I’m in love with Karen Silver too! I got some different Marquise Briolettes because they seem to be a very popular shape. I also got some more flashy moonstone briolettes because they were such a great hit, gorgeous green amethyst briolettes, beautiful colourful fluorite briolettes, iolite briolettes
and *drum roll* ANDALUSITE briolettes!! I’ve been wanting Andalusite for so long, it’s so so beautiful! I can’t wait to start creating with my new supplies!!
Also, I got 17 new hearts on etsy today? That seems sudden and suspicious. Very weird.

I’ve been so busy creating with my new supplies and I think I’m in love with Hilltribe silver now. I sold the most expensive item on my etsy store yet, which was actually a grab bag full of supplies from a recent studio clean out. Wouldn’t you have guessed that the most expensive thing I sell on etsy would turn out to be supplies!
I know that I was going to go and reply to all my deviantart messages and comment on everyone’s deviations but I went looking for a new car instead. I bought a silver Nissan Micra that I’m going to name “Betsy”. Every car I’ve ever had has actually been named Betsy and this one will be no exception. I love Betsy!
I’m so happy but in a penniless sort of way so I really have to keep my hand out of the cookie jar for a while. This is proving difficult since I keep seeing stuff that I really want so I’ve devised a cunning plan of hearting all the items that I’m going to demand as Christmas presents in a few months, lol!

I just finished re-designing both my sites and linking them back to etsy. Etsy doesn't allow you to post links or URLs anywhere in your shop to your website as it encourages buyers to purchase your items elsewhere and that's considered fee avoidance. You cannot list an item for sale on Etsy and then list the same item for sale anywhere else.
Previously, I had been listing items on etsy and listing different items on my own website. This became a bit difficult for me, like trying to run numerous shops when all I really needed a website for is to drive more traffic to my etsy shop and list more information, have a page with it's own look and feel that tells people what my designs are about.
I've basically taken advantage of Etsy mini to create my website and all my items are linked back to etsy. All items can only be purchased through etsy so it's not fee avoidance. Hopefully things will just be much easier now.

I just bought a load of new supplies, gemstone & sterling silver. I got some wonderful Indian rubies from nutraj over on etsy. I got some lovely watermelon tourmaline too and gorgeous peridot rondells. I also bought beautiful chalcedony briolettes that I plan to make earrings with and chunky coral, angelite, turquoise and lemon jade beads for rings. I finally bought bulk giverny glass which I usually buy by the bead so I'll be able to reduce my price on those. I bought bulk gemstone rounds as well and I probably won't use all of them so I'll be selling some at my etsy shop under supplies. I got lots of freshwater pearls, some lovely peacock colour ones and pearl sticks. I can't wait to start creating with all these great new goodies.
I also want to spotlight
MartinsvilleEmporium for their gorgeous handmade soaps and lip balms. I just received my order from them and I absolutely love them, seriously addictive!! You must check them out!!! Will blog again soon !

This is a new type of necklace which I did by weaving suede similar to how you would with wire and then decorating it with beads and pearls. I'm pretty pleased with the result & I love using fabric in my pieces!!

Some new collage pendants that I've been doing. The collage is placed over bamboo which I think looks much nicer than dominos. I’m redesigning my website so I’ll probably wait until the site i
s re-launched to put these up.Labels: bamboo, collage, domino, jewelry, necklace, new, pendant

Anyways, I will be showing you my designs here obviously and I’ll also be showcasing other fantastic designers whose work inspires me.Labels: jewelry, new, welcome
