Do you have pictures!??!?!"<br /><br />And so it started.<br /><br />I felt as if i was soliciting in AC Moore - but I was assured by the cashier this is what they're there for, and part of the business, everyone shares their crafts.<br /><br />The cashier and the woman I let go in front of me seemed quite intrigued with this idea.<br /><br />So, cards were handed out, thanks were given and had, and I am continuing this evening with a smile on my face.<br /><br />Not for the possible future business, but because of a quick moment of comaraderie between crafters; and random acts of kindness.<br /><br />Being considerate to fellow human beings (offering the woman behind me to go in front of me) is sorely missing in this world. There really isn't any altruistic act out there; I'll readily admit it felt great to do that. But think of what that woman may walk away with. Maybe she'll pay a tiny simple act of kindness forward.<br /><br />We could all do with being kinder in this world when the time arises. It may not seem like much, but letting someone go ahead of you in line, helping someone pick something up they dropped, etc. can go a long way for some.<br /><br />So while this isn't directly related to new postings of chainmaille and jewelry, from one humble crafter to the gentle readers out there - be kind, and always....STAY CRAFTY!<br /><br />And...to the cashier at AC Moore and the "Woman in Line Behind Me/Ahead of Me" - if you're out there reading this - thank you!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07296930030148755065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604450313422734695.post-42275024647110684592012-10-13T18:25:00.000-07:002013-06-26T08:10:47.992-07:00Three Star Mobius Necklace<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24dCS50TGPPkzWjWCdaCAeVbc87GolCmXn9dg4KHU7ZAboo2z2V54Pr_kI2XNGITSogYxTc55aYitb87cIh5LgBPw8FCfU_-MGloNxSqthyphenhyphengPHF2BCl0FzyANlNAHrQlT1QPQlhvNb94/s1600/threestarmobius.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24dCS50TGPPkzWjWCdaCAeVbc87GolCmXn9dg4KHU7ZAboo2z2V54Pr_kI2XNGITSogYxTc55aYitb87cIh5LgBPw8FCfU_-MGloNxSqthyphenhyphengPHF2BCl0FzyANlNAHrQlT1QPQlhvNb94/s320/threestarmobius.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Three Star Mobius Necklace/Choker/Collar - $45.00</td></tr></tbody></table>This piece is made of extremely light weigh bright aluminum rings in a variety off sizes.

This is a perfect piece to be worn tighter, as a collar should be. This piece does not flip or roll as easily as single strand weaves and has a more "traditional" collar look and feel to it.<br /><br />This particular piece is made from bright aluminum rings and features anodized aluminum rings in a "champagne" color. Please note that I am slowly phasing out my colored rings; so color options are limited; please contact me for color availability if you wish to add color to your piece. <br /><br />There is a toggle clasp as the closure, however, as always you may choose your closure style; Lobster clasp (spring lever), toggle, or lockable ends ($5.00 extra, comes with a Just in Case clasp as well, and you supply your own lock). This piece measures 18" in length and can be resized for free up to 20". Sizing over 20" is $3.00 per inch. <br /><br />The material used for my weaves is aluminum, giving the look of silver for a fraction of the cost, and boasting easy care and a surprising light weight.

Finish this piece off with locking ends and it becomes nearly impossible to wrest this piece off of a neck.<br /><br />This particular piece features a 1 1/2" wide center steel ring. Two lengths of boxchain attach to the center ring, with another smaller focal ring to keep the focal point laying in a sweet "V" form. The rings used are a substantial 16 gauge ring making the lengths of chain just shy of 3/4" in width and a bit shy of 1/2" in thickness. <br /><br />There is a toggle clasp as the closure, however, as always you may choose your closure style; Lobster clasp (spring lever), toggle, or lockable ends ($5.00 extra, comes with a Just in Case clasp as well, and you supply your own lock).

This was probably also one of the biggest events I would book, due mainly to the sheer number of people who attended. I believe they were expecting (and from what we could see, more than likely acquired) 5,000 to 6,000 people attending.<br /><br />It was a fantastic day due to so many contributing factors; including the weather. Low/mid 70's, sun, small amount of clouds, and wind.<br /><br />The weekend kicked off when my assistant, my cousin Staci arrived on Friday. We relaxed, went out to dinner and attempted to settle our nerves. I do believe she was more excited than I was nervous.<br /><br />Saturday morning started with lots of nerves, and little to no sleep.<br /><br />Up at 5:30 in the morning, and my husband John made breakfast for us. His famous pancakes and sausage.<br /><br />Once us ladies were fully primped and ready to head out, we packed up the truck, double checked we had all necessary equipment and paperwork, and off we went.<br /><br />A quick stop at a Wawa for ice for the cooler and more coffee for the assistant, and there we were, in under a half hour, in Elmer, NJ.<br /><br />We had a very small (10 minutes tops) wait in line as the vendor vehicles lined up to be checked in. It was a VERY smooth process and any information the volunteers there could not tell us, they made sure to find out and return to us with the information. We did have a minor communication mishap between volunteers that were not informed we were told my husband would receive an additional wristband so that he could easily leave after our set up and return to break us down at the end of the day. It was quickly resolved with absolutely no problems.<br /><br />Our set up went VERY smoothly. Tent up, tables up, everything out of the truck, and off my husband went with good wishes to us.<br /><br />Staci was amazing and helping with product set up and display with wonderful advice and constructive criticism.<br /><br />We were set up with ample time to sit back, relax, and also take a walk around to introduce ourselves to and meet some of the other crafters - especially the fellow jewelry artists.<br /><br />What amazing people we met.<br /><br />Sarah Stringer of <a href="http://www.windingroads.org/ourstory.html" target="_blank">Winding Roads Jewelry </a>was simply a delight to speak with. She offered some insights into her vending experiences as well as some help in the areas of Reiki after we discussed my troubles briefly. Her natural gem and stone jewelry is simply beautiful.<br /><br />I have to admit that Beth of <a href="http://fromjunk2funk.com/" target="_blank">From Junk 2 Funk</a> was probably my absolute favorite fellow jewelry artist. Her energy was inspiring, and her jewelry, ingenious. There is not more that I can say about her jewelry without simply telling you to just visit her page and see for yourself.<br /><br />Last, but not least is Raelinda Woad of <a href="http://www.littlegorgeousthings.com/stje1.html" target="_blank">Storyteller Jewelry</a>. My cousin/assistant Staci purchased a gift for me from this amazing artist. I received the gold/pink peacock Dream Incubator I had my eye on from the first visit to her stand. Amazing storyteller and gorgeous designs.<br /><br />There were other purchases made (by Staci...shop-a-holic that she is), as well as many food vendor visits. A great value was had from the fresh squeezed lemonade stand. For $15 we received a reusable plastic cup with a lid and straw and received free refills throughout the day. We made good use of that and got more than our monies worth. Vietnamese sandwhiches, crab nachos, and of course, funnel cake were our samplings. Friends of ours that visited enjoyed the "Dog Bowl" (no.....REALLY!!!) of french fries, as well as some fantastic face painting for their son.<br /><br />Our day continued as the gates opened and the attendees trickled, then steadily flowed in. There were many times our stand was swamped, complete with lines to check out, rushes to restock, and fielding many questions.<br /><br />My artistry truly did seem to be appreciated, and many comments were made about the uniqueness of my jewelry style.<br /><br />We made some fans, and even had some repeat customers!<br /><br />I provided on site sizing and customizations for customers and that seemed to be an impressive offering, as many customers commented it was rare to find such personal and professional service at a "craft/art" show.<br /><br />Many of my brochures and cards were taken for future orders.<br /><br />I got to network with some amazing artists; both flourished and up and coming; as well as share my wares and artistry with some appreciative customers and on lookers.<br /><br />I demonstrated virtually all day until my hands finally gave out about an hour or so before we were to close up.<br /><br />At the end of the day our break down went very smoothly, as we did have some extra help from my friends that visited for the day with our complimentary passes. My husband came rolling back into the vendor area with no troubles. We packed up, checked out with the volunteers, and off we were to close up our day. We stopped by the Elmer Diner for some dinner and had an enjoyable time unwinding as much as we could.<br /><br />A side trip was made on the way home for some sunburn after care; as Staci and I both got a wee bit burned before we decided to put on the sunblock.<br /><br />Other than some sun and wind burn and tangled hair from the wind, it was a fantastic day. <br /><br />I hope to be a repeat vendor/artist at the Appel Farm Arts and Music Festival next year simply due to the wonderful experience we had. From initial jury consideration, to close up of our stand the day of the festival it was such a positive experience.<br /><br />Thank you to all of the volunteers and staff of the festival, my customers, the onlookers, the other artists jewelry and otherwise, my husband, my assistant, my un-official assistants, and to everyone who made our day even more spectacular.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I had a general dislike for these particular beads and merely kept them in my stock because I can't just keep what "I" like. My muse woke me up with the image of this piece and a smack on the head telling me what these beads looked like. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidOxolDEajib-6xsgDXvIHIrF_MM8DclxWnYqjYjujPMo9xtVnGcq6tv_AZRoOVS2i3hPRgbZyDsuXF4ApQ_l3Il-Xn8XSKU9XbsycgzbZR89CSFz7UTAbdzfDolkLr3aUpbUukiBmx7w/s1600/kryptonite.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidOxolDEajib-6xsgDXvIHIrF_MM8DclxWnYqjYjujPMo9xtVnGcq6tv_AZRoOVS2i3hPRgbZyDsuXF4ApQ_l3Il-Xn8XSKU9XbsycgzbZR89CSFz7UTAbdzfDolkLr3aUpbUukiBmx7w/s320/kryptonite.png" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07296930030148755065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604450313422734695.post-5066208837209219142012-04-26T07:12:00.000-07:002013-06-26T08:10:48.458-07:00Flower BarrettesFlower Barrettes are ready!
