CFL and Craft Fairs

Hmmm, I don't think the two mix very well. The turn out at Dog with Wings was a little sad and I'm sure the turn in weather didn't help. Oh well. Thanks to all who came and supported this very worthy charity. The dogs were so well behaved ...

It was the end of a long day for Charlie. Having sat patiently while dressed in his Santa hat to have his photo taken with shoppers, he decided he needed a quick nap before heading home.

Check my Photo Albums on the top right for pictures of jewelry that is still available.

Success at Artfest!

Congratulations to all the vendors and organizers of Artfest 2007! Over 700 shoppers and browsers came to Bellevue Hall to see what was happening in the art community of Bellevue Highlands. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table!

If you are thinking about that piece you didn't pick up for your favorite Aunt or best friend or yourself, please check my photo albums (on the right side of the page at the top) to see if it is still available. Once you open the album you can hover over the pictures to see description, price and availability. You can also click on the photo for a closer look.

If I am able to do any more venues before Xmas I will post here on my blog. You can email me if there is something you would like to purchase. the.ckirby@shaw.ca

Pearls and stuff

So I had all these pearls and Czech crystals waiting for inspiration. There are 6 different bracelets pictured and they all have a set of matching pearl earrings!
Here are more of the Onyx square frames each with a lampwork bead inside.

Here are a few large pendants.
And a funky coral coloured glass made these fun beads which are accented with some silver glass. That is glass made with a very high silver content which makes it very reactive with other colours that contain a lot of metals.
This is so silky shine and really fun!
