Silicone Jewelry Finds

So I am trying to get the hang of this blogging thing lol. I am planning on making a weekly blog post with fun things I have found around etsy. This weeks post is on silicone jewelry. Weird right? When I think about silicone, I think about molds and rubbermaid tupperware lol. Well here is what I found.

I have to say this one is my favorite:

Have you noticed all the food jewelry out there on the market? If you have traveled around Etsy at all you will see tons of it. Here is an interesting one:

Personally, I am not a big gold fan, but this is so cool looking:

Thats all for now, I do have to say in my search for silicone jewelry most of it was pendants on silicone cords. Look around, I bet you will find something that fits your need!

Having fun with Polymer Clay!

I recently started playing with clay to make beads for my jewelry. I began looking around stumble upon, tumble, etsy, and various google search webpages, and i found more and more fake/faux gauges. I have found a few tutorials on youtube and various websites and they looked really easy to make. Some people carve them out of wood, bone, or plastic, while others hand make them with polyclay. I am going to try my hand at this and post updates of my work as it progresses. If you have no idea what I am talking about take a look at these photos I found around etsy:

Sorry for the random listing with the links, I was unable to insert their picture URL :(

I also found on Etsy that noone in Oklahoma City is making these items. I better get right on that! Check out my etsy shop as well!

Etsy Shop Promotion

While I love selling items on my etsy shop, I also love helping out other shops by helping them to promote themselves. One shop Two Sasters does a promotion every Monday where she takes her blog and helps to promote other Etsy shops on her blog. So I decided to return the favor and promote her shop with a new blog post. If you have an etsy shop and you want to promote it here, leave me a comment and I will add a link to your shop on my blog. Share the love and help us keep our small businesses going!
