Okay, after a long, long absence from my blog site, I have decided to make time for it again. Lots of complicated things happening in my studio. My pickeling solution is not working right, which is making me crazy. I have changed it several times and can't seem to get it right. I can solder some things, but others will not solder. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!! Anyway, I have decided to concentrate on earrings, bracelets and rings, once I get the solution to work. Necklaces just don't seem to be selling like they used to. Too much work, time and materials involved to keep messing with it. I'll do a few, but not like I used to. Okay, enough of that. Looking forward to getting my next 10 rings completed and on Etsy. Loving Etsy and the community of people I'm meeting on there. Lots of new things in my shop. Check it out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissieRabdau. Have a great day.

Surprise for Emily

Created and mailed a pair of earrings (pink quartz wire wrapped), along with another surprise to Emily in Missouri. I'm very excited to hear what she thinks. The earrings are for her to lift her spirits while she undergoes chemo for breast cancer. With her attitude and determination, I'm convinced she will kick this disease. I am thrilled to have met her on-line. Her attitude is amazing and I admire her for it. If the earrings make her smile, it will make me so happy.

Check out my new fun earrings on http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissieRabdau. Clusters of cultured freshwater pearls flow freely on oxidized sterling silver. These are fun and can be worn with almost anything. Love creating these.

Happy to sell my new earrings

Yeah, I'm very excited to have just sold my new dangle earrings that I posted yesterday. Now, to get back to work and make some other creations.

Wire Wrapped Earrings and Others....SOLD

I'm so excited to have sold they newly posted aqua wire wrapped earrings yesterday. I also had two more people that wanted them...so that made me very happy. Then to add to the excitement, I made another sale of two more different earrings. It simply made my night. After being discouraged for weeks over whether pursuing a creative outlet is worth it, I am feeling a little better. Yeah.....now off to shoot some photos.
