I am planning some good changes for this site in the coming months! I am currently in the process of updating some of the photos - making them much clearer and sharper and in a better setting. Hopefully this will give you a better 'feel' for the pieces.
I am also looking in to starting a section featuring pieces that were FULLY manufactured in the United States - meaning EVERY bead, wire, finding etc. as well as the assembling of the piece.
Also, I will be adding some new 'popular trends' jewelry featuring things like Hello Kitty, owls, bling etc.
I am hoping these changes will have a positive impact! -
This one took less time to make, but turned out simply stunning!!!!!
-
This is the first set where I am actually factoring in the value of my time making these pieces - hence the higher price. Up until now, I have only been asking for slightly more than the cost of materials. From now on, I will be offering full-priced jewelry AND clearance items, so there is something for everyone. I will NOT raise the price on previously discounted items- you will always be able to buy these at the original low prices.
Here is the first offering in my higher range.....This took quite a bit of time to do
-
There will be a benefit for the Art Department of the Fort Worth School District on Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday the 17th
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! -
Here is my final project for this unit, a bracelet that was recycled from using components from another (the metal roses)
-
And these are the matching earrings - Roses For Elizabeth...I had to get a bit creative with these, since I ran out of some materials!
-
Alice's Cosmopolitan Necklace - this one took a LOT of planning and determination!
-
I am on Unit 2 of my Sheffield School Course! I just finished my 1st completed jewelry project, which is the Roses For Elizabeth bracelet! I will let you know what they think of it when it's graded.......
-
working on this design for a customer....
-
Another addition to Designs by Chris!
-
Here is the latest addition to the Designs By Chris collection
-
I have been neglecting blogging for the past week or so.....been super busy on Tophatter though, trying to get things sold! I have had minimal success, and am still experimenting with what people over there want and how much they are willing to pay. I have TONS of supplies now, everything from boxes to ring blanks! Here are a few pics of some cheaper things I am putting over there...
-
This is the Targ Helm Necklace - the pendant is reminiscent of a Scottish shield
-
This one is made of silver aluminum rings......
-
Chris has made a bunch of new chainmaille items! Here is one of his latest - Black and Red Cross Concho Necklace
-
Real gemstones in this one! Carnelian, crazy lace agate, peridot, and freshwater pearls, also Tibetan silver, on knotted silk thread.
-
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. -
Here are a few pieces I put together exclusively for the Tophatter auctions.....
-
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 have an item in tomorrow's Jewelry Auction - it is on Standby, and will not be in the actual auction until someone bids the $5 minimum - it is the Shield of Style Ring! The auction starts at 11am tomorrow (Sept. 14) and here is a link to enter....

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!
-
I received the first lesson shipment yesterday from the Sheffield School of Interior Design! I am going to be taking the Jewelry Design Course. Included were a textbook, 2 smaller study guide books, 2 CDs and a DVD - plus slipcases to hold them all in! I started immediately - there is a certain order you are supposed to do each lesson in, alternating between audio, video and text. Now I am beginning my 1st assignment! I have to find examples of jewelry I love and jewelry I don't care for, print the pictures and paste them on paper, and then answer some questions about each kind. There are a few more assignments for this Unit, including making a collage and taking some old jewelry apart and examining it and coming up with ideas on how to redesign it......and while I am doing all this I also will be paying bills, working on this website, and who knows what else? Oh yeah, church stuff! My life is packed full of blessings and I love it!
-
I recently enrolled in the Sheffield School of Design and am going to be working on a certificate in Jewelry Design: Beading and Wire Working! Today my materials for the first lessons came, and I am so excited! I will share what I am learning on this site and I expect the quality of my jewelry offerings to increase with my skill. Stay tuned for more as I embark on this new chapter of my life!
-
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......

Sat. June 18 2011
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!
Sun. June 19, 2011
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.
