A Labor of Love

Posted on April 26, 2013 by admin

In honor of warmer weather, sunshine, and flowers, here are my new spring creations. These necklaces are completely hand woven from start to finish–including the seed beaded toggle clasps. Each one took several hours to create, but I think the result is well worth the time and trouble. As always, I am happy to take suggestions for future projects, or work with customers to create a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art. I’d love to know what you think of my designs–comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Etsy Expansion

Posted on March 5, 2013 by admin

Yay!! More listings are up on my Etsy account. I know it’s only three pieces, but I’ve gotten the ball rolling and the site off the ground (something I’ve been talking about for the past couple of years). More items are coming soon, and I’m working on creating a line of wedding jewelry as well.

Cybershopping!!

Posted on March 2, 2013 by admin

It’s official…..my jewelry is now available on Etsy.
Visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/CrystalPaintbrushLLC?ref=search_shop_redirect for the ability to view and purchase my work online. The shop is open 24/7, which means that you can shop in flannel pajamas and bunny slippers at 2 a.m. (Or am I the only one who wears flannel pjs and fuzzy bunny slippers?)

As always, custom orders are welcome, so don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.

I don’t have much in the shop now, but many new items are coming soon. After all, you never know when you will realize that you need jewelry to match your new outfit–at 2 o’clock in the morning.

Wearable art……

Posted on February 19, 2013 by admin

Proven fact: I will draw on anything.

Paper, walls, ceramics, glass…..you name it. And t-shirts. Here are a couple of recent examples–the blue one was a charitable donation to a silent auction, and the green one was a birthday present. I’m always happy to create custom designs, so if you’d like me to design a shirt for you or your organization, please e-mail me at sarah@crystalpaintbrush.com.

Beads in bloom

Posted on February 14, 2013 by admin

February 14th. Valentine’s Day.

And what are two of the most purchased gifts to give that Special Someone? Yes, that’s right–jewelry and flowers. So, because it’s Valentine’s Day and because spring is just around the corner, today’s post brings you the best of both worlds–flower jewelry. Whether you choose wire-wrapped glass petals as a necklace pendant or delicately woven blossom earrings, you can be sure that these flowers will stay fresh for years to come.

And isn’t that more than you can say about the box of candy that got devoured in 2.8 seconds?
