Last Day of Earring Promotion!

Today I have been on the computer watching the activity in my etsy shop due to the Mother's Day Showcase. It's going about the same as last Sunday, with lots of views on the featured item, but still views in other areas. I learned how to change the featured item without having it be sold, so I've featured 4 items. The cream pearl and crystal ab bracelet did not show up well, so I changed that almost right away. My work is also in a treasury which had one new view last I checked. It is a ruby red bracelet that I listed in February before I joined the etsy beadweavers.

In two weeks, I will be in an art show in Burr Ridge, Illinois, for the whole weekend. I am looking forward to it. It's nice to get feed back in person. I'm hoping for some sales because it costs money to participate besides spending your entire weekend (and your spouse's) outdoors no matter what the weather. I also spend a lot of time preparing for the show. I can't just display everything! So if you will be in the vicinity of Burr Ridge, Illinois on May 15 and 16, please comment, and I will post the directions and details. There are 75 artists in a variety of media, so it should be a good show.


Pictures tomorrow, I promise!

Bead Dreams Finalists, Earring Promotion and Showcase




The earrings for the day seem ordinary after all I've seen today, But the promo must go on. My Mother's Day Showcase experiment is yielding lots of views for the featured bracelet. Thanks for the views.

Please view Dryad on http://www.NEDbeads.com to see a finalist entry in Bead Dreams. For my non beading readers, this is exquisite bead embroidery. The artist also has an etsy shop and a blog with the same name if you care to check them out as well. Her latest blog post is about someone else with photos of more gorgeous bead weaving.

Two of the EBW Team members are also finalists in Bead Dreams, and each necklace is stunning in its own way.
