2011 Summer Sales

I am participating in Art Walk events downtown Calgary (8-th Ave., around 1-st Street SW) this summer. Art walk is organized by Canadian Artists for the Poor, http://www.artistsforthepoor.ca/calgaryartwalk.html, so the money goes to support a good cause.

• Thursday, July 7th from 10am-5pm
• Thursday, August 4th from 10am-5 pm
• and Thursday, September 1st from 10am-5pm.

I invited my charity of choice, Calgary Immigrant Women's Association (CIWA), to join my booth. Come and meet lovely ladies from CIWA Art and Crafts Market. They always have beautiful hand-crafted items for your home and yourself. In am totally addicted to their hand-made glycerine soap :-)

On my side, I will have a lot of summery, colourful pieces.A few pictures included, but I want to experiment with adding fibers to my jewellery, so you will see some totally new stuff. Come and check it out.

#633 - Coloured magnesite in turquoise and lime green, with yellow citrine and silver plated aluminum nuggets. The necklace can be worn as a one long strand or doubled for a chunkier look. The spacer buggle beads and toggle clasp are silvler plated. Comes a a set with earrings.

 #608 - Nothind says "summer" like yellow and white. This necklace  combines yellow and white shell links with gold plated rings and chain. It is a long chain that can be doubled if desired.

#606 - Made with turquoise coins and  gold plated rings and chain. #629 - A pink coral set with silver plated shells  that makes me dream of a summer beach.   Both will look awesome with this summer's fashions.

#618 - If you are into chunky jewellery, you may appreciate this asymmetric combination of turquoise, clear quartz, crystals and silverc plated copper wire. Alternatively, you may try #623 -that combines turquoise with chrysacolla beads.

I would not be myself if I did not include anything red. #622 has large red coral chunks with clear quarts. Note supper-cute flower clasp - I have very few of those left. Comes with matching earrings (on top of this post). #619 is made with beautiful amber nuggets that I brought from my vacation inn Poland last year.

Busy!!!

I started building an Etsy shop, but got distracted with some other opportunities that came up. More details later.
I am also taking several jewellery classes at alberta College of Art, so June is super-busy. Looking forward to summer when I should have more time to create.
