Latest Project On The Desk

Well, it looks like the commission is all complete! I just finished up the last item a couple days ago and decided to make some nice gift box bags to put them in so they are all ready to go. I came across a really cute idea from splitcoaststampers.com for a 2-5-7-10 box that is adorable so that's what I used for these.



I'm almost finished embellishing them. I want to add something to the stripe on the flap to match the stamp and I have a few ideas but I'm not sure what to do quite yet. I'll either do a flowing stamp in white or a seed bead design.

Etsy Promotions will be featuring many ETSYians on Myspace over the next few months and Enchanted By Beka was lucky enough to get on the list! Check it out HERE. If you are an ETSY shop owner, this would be a great way to get connected and do some promoting.

That's all for now folks. Time to clean up the house because the appraiser is coming over tomorrow morning. Almost there!

Cheers,
Beka

Free Time!

Good news everyone! My husband and I sold our home and we're about to make an offer on one we really love! This means that I have some free time to get back to my art desk! (yay!) It's been so long since we started this whole process and it's left little time for fun things unfortunately but now that part is over.

Currently, I'm working on finishing up the large commission I mentioned before. I will post up process pics very soon. One item from that lot will be featured and I'll work out a series of pics to explain it's process and how you could make one too!

I also have some jewelry pieces that are ready to be put together and a series of matchbook notebooks that are almost ready to be put up in my ETSY shop: enchantedbybeka.etsy.com. I'm very excited to get them finished and listed!

Just a short post for now but more will soon come!

Cheers,

Beads, Wire, Tools....Oh My!

I managed to get a few more supplies at Joann's today since they were having a 40% off sale. For 4 items, it only cost me $3.50! Nice! Since I am starting to accumulate more of certain colors, I've finally started moving some of my beads into the larger container which makes room for other colors I want to get like light orange, yellow...summer colors.

I'm going to be starting on a friend's commission here soon: an aquamarine wire braid bracelet, much like the ones I have up in my shop. (Like that one over to the left.) I got some black wire so I can do a dark one and see how that turns out.

It looks like I might be doing some work on a good friend's wedding. Woo! I'm honored, honored, honored! I'm working with a few ideas to present that are elegant and stylish and hopefully they will be good enough! I'll be posting pics during the process for show and to get some feedback.

That's all for now. I"ll have more once I start my next projects!

Cheers!
