 After weeks of anticipation, HandmadeNews.org soft launches TODAY!
So why am I so excited?
A couple reasons. One is that this new blog will offer news from every aspect of handmade, not just Etsy, ArtFire, lov.li or others. Anything and everything that's great about handmade can (and if we're lucky will) be presented at Handmade News.
The second, and more personal, reason that I'm excited is because I am a columnist over at Handmade News.
I'll be manning a portion of the Featured Artisan columns, interviewing and featuring great handmade artists from ArtFire, Etsy, and elsewhere.
Come on over and see me at Handmade News. If you want to be featured in an upcoming column, drop me a line. I'd love to share your story with our readers.
PS. Saturdays feature is Pattibears Place a fellow Wisconsinite. Check out her webstore and look for the article Saturday!

 A duo of hand forged rings tops a milky pink teardrop bead.
The rings are textured by hand with various hammers and punched, then polished to a gleaming mirror like shine.
A single glass teardrop bead, which reminds me of the yummy fluffy cotton candy that i ate every summer at the state fair.
The bead is wrapped in sterling silver wire and hung form the larger ring for a feminine pendant with a funky edge.

 I can barely contain my excitement for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Emma Frost has always been one of my favorite characters, and when I picked up these fun czech glass beads, I immediately imagined her wearing them in a long shiny earrings.
So here ya go.
Czech drop beads, in the whitest of whites, strung on fine shiny silver chain in a trio cluster. Topped with a single Czech Glass bead, wrapped up in fine silver wire and hung from handmade by me sterling silver ear wires.
