Teal jewelry 7/22/2011-7/23/2011

A request was made on Facebook for pictures of my jewelry. I was already thinking about starting a teal blog, and that made up my mind. This year, my events are the one for the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Ohio in Columbus on 9/11 and for Ovar'coming in Indy on 9/24. The past two days I have made 14 pieces, toward my goal of 75 additional pieces for a total of 120 pieces. I sold 29 in 2009, and I'm hoping to sell more than that this time around at each, so I wanted to make sure I would have more than enough.

Today I made 3 necklaces, 3 pairs of earrings (2 pierced, 1 clip on...can be interchanged), 1 keychain, 2 cell phone charms, 3 bracelets (1 large enough to be a possible ankle bracelet) and 2 book thongs.

I used the double carrick knot that I taught myself for the wedding favors on the keychain and cell phone charms. I actually made a third cell phone charm, but it's now on my phone. :) I think it looks like a support ribbon.

Bracelets were far and away my most popular item in 2009, so I'm going to be making a ton of them. Personally I'm not a fan...they irritate my arm when I'm writing or typing or really just doing anything. But, I'm not selling to me. :)

Orders can be requested from pictures, but no guarantees are made that the piece will be available. All pieces are different. Custom orders accepted. Prices negotiable, 50% used to buy more beading materials and 50% donated to an ovarian cancer organization. Email me at janinemkr@gmail.com for order requests! RIP Rita Ann 7/1/2001
