Marti Conrad Is Having A Sale - Time To Stock Up On Her Beautiful Components

As everyone that is a regular visitor to my blog knows, Marti Conrad is one of my favorite component artists.  She primarily sculpts from stoneware and I have commented more than once on the skill with which she finishes her pieces.  As a jewelry designer that regularly uses handmade stoneware, porcelain or other clay components in their work knows, the consistency of the holes and professional finishing makes all the difference in the quality and beauty of a finished piece of jewelry.

Marti just announced a 20% sale in her shop that is scheduled to run through January 5, 2012.  You can get to her shop by clicking HERE to take advantage of this sale.  I can tell you, she doesn't have sales all that often so don't delay.

Here are just a few of my favorites:

I have listed two new items in my etsy store today.  Hope you enjoy looking at them.

The bracelet is another focal by Ingrid Mueller.  I love this one.  The horses look like ghosts emerging from the brown glaze.  I coupled it with paint brush jasper beads, rollo chain, and a silver saddle charm.

And I recently made a purchase from Outwest.  These lampwork disc beads are matte mustard, purple and blue.  I dangled them from purple leather lace and a variety of amethy, lapis lazuli, yellow jade, pink howlite, sesame jasper gemstones dangling from a piece of rollo chain.
