Lampwork beads by Lisa Cotterman

Hello!

Lisa Cotterman is a friend of mine who makes lampwork beads. She was a co-worker of mine for 9 years. From time to time, she would bring her beads into work. I remember spending several lunch hours looking through all of her beads and loving them. I have now started to buy beads from her to use in my jewelry.

I have made two bracelets with her beads so far...more to come! Have a look at them in my Etsy shop http://www.beadsdeep.etsy.com/

CCCOE on Etsy

Hello!

So I went and joined yet another Etsy street team. This one is called CCCOE (California Crafters Club of Etsy). This is a group of Etsy sellers that live in California. Its members are from all different sorts of trades, not just jewelry-making like my two previous groups.

Please support our California crafters by logging onto http://www.etsy.com/ and searching on CCCOE. Browse through all of the diverse shops and items we have to offer :-)

I joined EtsyBEAD

Hello!

I have joined another of Etsy's street teams. This one is called EtsyBEAD. You can guess what us members do... yep, we either MAKE BEADS or we USE BEADS in our creations.

Some gorgeous beads and jewelry are made by members of this group! You can see and buy these at http://www.etsy.com/, search on EtsyBEAD as a tag.

I only use beads at this point in time. I am thinking about testing my skills at making lampwork or polymer clay beads, but haven't done it yet. I am still doing some research on this possible venture.

Check out JET on Etsy!

Hello!

I just want to tell everyone out there about JET (Jewelry on Etsy Team). It is a wonderful group of people who create and sell their handmade jewelry on Etsy. I recently joined their "street team", as the groups are called on Etsy. These sellers have some of the most wonderful jewelry you will ever see!

So, if anyone is in the mood for some jewelry shopping or would like to find a nice gift for someone, please visit the Etsy shops run by JET members. You can visit http://www.etsy.com/ and do a search on 'JETT' (yes, two T's here). Thanks for the support!

I'm on Etsy!

Hello!

Several days ago I opened up a shop on Etsy! I have spent the last few days getting a banner and avatar, listing several items and getting a feel for the world of Etsy.

Please check out my shop, if you like... I have a link in the green box in the right margin! Or click here www.beadsdeep.etsy.com

Now with three shops... I really need to get my butt in gear and start making more jewelry... I have been slacking off a little lately. :-)

Baby items now in my shops

Hello!

I have started adding some of Karen's baby/infant items to my shops on HomeGrownMarket and Lov.Li.

Things such as hats and booties for newborns are available. These make great baby shower gifts. I have bottles with bottle warmers/cozies too, and there will be more to come.

Check out my shops (BeadsDeep) through the links in the green box in the right margin.
