●☆● ☆● ☆● ☆●

How to participate!

All of the above bead sets are all listed at 50% off for those who want to participate in the Blog Hop.
Choose your favorite color, create a piece of jewelry and share your creation on Reveal Day!

Please don't purchase these at the discounted price unless you plan to participate.

If you don't have a blog an active Facebook page will work.

I'll put up a Linky tool for you to link to and share FB posts on my blog on Reveal day.

Purchase whichever color color combination you want,

★·.·´¯`·.·★ 1 strand per participant please ★·.·´¯`·.·★
If you'd like another strand let me know and we can arrange it outside of this hop.

You buy the color way you want and
  I will randomly choose the strand you will receive,
 if I tried to do that I'd end up pulling my hair out!!

The caption under each picture is a link to that listing.

The reveal date will be
Monday Sept 16th.

Please comment and give me your blog or facebook information.
Share as much as you like, I'd love to get all 15 sets participating.
If there is a demand for more I can make more on pre-order and get mailed out within a couple of days.

If you have any questions please ask,
I always feel like I miss something really important when I do these hops.
There is no entering to win so it seems pretty straight forward.

Copper Macro

These are Copper Ammonite Components I'm making for my Component Blog Hop coming up next month. I think we have about 18 people and I had to make a bunch on pre-order because I quickly ran out of the few I made at the start. I am happy that so many people wanted to participate.

Here they are right out of the tumbler,

 I'll be torching them and hoping to get wonderful color from the copper before I mail them out.

I couldn't even fit them all in the kiln last night, I'll be firing another load tonight!

Here's the host of our little weekly Macro Party at

Studio Waterstone
