Lots of jewelry

I've been making a lot of jewelry lately. I'm surprised with the wonderful success I had with my Etsy store. It's really cool.

This is one of pieces I have up right now, Purple Heart.

Pretty ribbon necklaces...

So today I finally got around to listing some of the silk ribbon necklaces I've been making. I love the way the ribbon colors go with the colors of glass. Here's a picture of another one... it's called Gypsy :)

a new chapter...

It's just a couple of hours before the beginning of a new month and a new chapter in my life. That's when I will be taking my artistic career more seriously and dedicating a lot more hours to it...a LOT more. Starting tomorrow, my full time job will be glass making. Scary, exciting, unknown...

Did I pick the wrong time to take such a risk? Probably, considering the financial crisis and all the shenanigans going on right now. But hey...I felt it was time and I had to go with my guts. I've been preparing for the transition for quite some time, and to me, there was no turning back.

So...wish me luck!!!
