Welcome to my jewelry blog; please leave comments!

I will be showcasing my jewelry and ornaments This Sat. from 4-10pm
http://www.fortworthsouth.org/event/spring-artsgoggle-2/
Amy's Handmade Gifts will be on the block of 1600 Park Place Avenue.
-
This is the new design for the GO! bracelets, featuring the right-angle weave technique. This is an experiment in progress, since it requires an exact planning of each bead placement and several rows stitched together.

but didn't turn out quite the way I had wanted.....

This lil guy is waiting for his 2 friends to join him!

Here are some pictures taken during the First Saturday on Magnolia show on the patio of Zio Carlos in Fort Worth...
I made a few sales - not bad for the first run of the event!
On the left is another lady's vintage display; mine is the table with the folding chair (I am not in the picture).

Invincible Geekend
Zio Carlo Magnolia Brew Pub
1001 W Magnolia Ave.
Fort Worth, TX 76104
817-923-8000There will be an arts show on the 16th at 2pm, and I will be selling my jewelry (and maybe some of my other crafts as well). And my husband Chris will be there showcasing his chainmaille work.
I got my instructor evaluation back on my projects from the design school - turns out I have a lot of room for provement. My wire wrapping in particular needs work - and I HAVE to invest in a point-and-shoot digital camera. So my schooling may be on hold until I get more practice (and money)......
Hope to see you at the show on Sat! -

Anyone posting SPAM comments to this blog be advised, it will not help you, as I go through them each day and delete spam......any real comments will be entered into a monthly drawing to win an item of your choice on this site.
As I have not gotten a response from last month's winner of the giveaway, the names from last month will be re-entered into the Oct. drawing. Again, please only comment if you really are interested in the post, and please check your spam filters and add amy@amyshandmadejewelry.com to your approved list, so winners can get their notices! Thanks!
Today is the block party where I will be setting up a table for my jewelry and perhaps my other crafts as well - anyone in the Arlington Texas area, it is from 2-10pm on Shady Hill Lane. There will be hotdogs and hamburgers, a bounce house and of course my jewelry :) I believe a Scentsy seller will also be displaying her items. -
Congratulations to Paul Simong, the September drawing winner! He wins his choice of 1 item from this site!
The next drawing will begin tomorrow at 9am - same rules - leave a comment on the blog or be the winning bidder on Tophatter.com for one of my items on auction and you will be entered for the next giveaway on Oct 31. -
Right now I am making 2 GO! France bracelets for the Pastor of our church and his wife, for when they go to Paris next year and do missions as a family. For the first time I am engraving in cursive on the medallions, which looks a lot nicer!
While I was attempting to follow Tophatter auctions and cut beading wire, I snipped the end of my left middle finger with the scissors.....looked worse than it was.
And while RSVPing for the neighborhood block party on Oct. 6, the lady who runs it told me I am allowed to set up tables and sell my jewelry!!!! For anyone in the area of Arlington, TX it is on the block of 5700 Shady Hill Lane, from 2-10pm. I am so excited!!!!
Now to work a little more on the bracelets before leaving for Bible study...... -
This is something I came up with just for the crowd at Tophatter.com - a simple crystal and goldtone chain bracelet. I am also experimenting with my scanner and different backgrounds to make the pics more appealing. It seems that if I just lay a piece of light color cardstock over the jewelry instead of the flat top of the machine it looks slightly better......I am in the market for an affordable priced Canon Powershot.
-
Normally this would be in my other AmysNotions.com store, which is currently experiencing some technical difficulties - so it has been added to the Ornaments page instead on this site.....
-
-
I finished all the assignments and will mail them off tomorrow at the post office (no WAY am I trusting this to the local carrier)! Took the test, got an A-. Now I just have a few pages at the end of the Study Guide to go through, which pertain to photographing jewelry and jewelry supply resources. Unit 2 comes after my next 2 tuition payments, which would make it around Nov-Dec.....going to be hard waiting that long; we'll see how long I can hold out!
-
Well, I have finished the first 2 projects for Unit 1! Yesterday I assembled a collage made up of things that inspire me - mine is all Victiorian-style decor. Lots of ruffles, lace, pastel colors, and images that evoke a feeling of richness and luxury. Today for project 3 I have to take an old piece of jewelry and cut it apart and think about how I can use the components to create a new piece of jewelry. When my assignments come back from the school I may share them on here. I'm off to recycle some jewelry!
-
Starting at the end of September I will be giving away a random piece of beaded jewelry (ornaments in the winter months) to 1 winner every month - just enter your information on the form to be placed in the drawing. 1 entry per person per month. All information is completely confidential and will not be shared with anyone.

This is a Christian missions bracelet for the Democratic Republic of Congo....I ran out of my usual silver medallions and haven't gotten my new order in yet, so I substituted another style of bezel instead. This particualr bracelet is longer than normal......

Welcome to my jewelry blog!As I daily work on getting customers to my site, I am finding I need some method of commmunication and feedback. There has to be some way of finding out why people are not purchasing - lack of funds, poor offerings, errors in my website? So I am implementing a few methods of collecting feedback to improve the business. If you are reading this and have decided to not make a purchase today, can you please spend a few minutes and leave a comment here as to the reasons? It will just take a minute of your time and I would REALLY appreciate it!

Finished 1 beaded bookmark (out of 4) - didn't turn out quite as I expected, but still looks good. Still deciding if I want to part with these or not.....
Tues. June 21, 2011
Working on bookmark #3...they are really turning our gorgeous! Still working on my links, hoping to get that elusive PR! A sale wouldn't hurt either....
Wed. June 22, 2011
Working on optimizing my site's pages and images so I can get PageRank - also now submitting for links. Hopefully later tonight there will be time for me to finish working on bookmark #3. The Summer Sale will continue for at least a couple more days.
Fri. June 24, 2011
The beaded bookmarks are finally finished and listed! I kept 1 out of the 4 for myself - it was just too pretty! :) Made some changes to my home page also.
