Creative Titles

During a critique of my shop today, someone suggested I use creative titles for my items....soooo I did. I'm not so sure about them, but I'll leave them up for now. Why not?
Added some new items over the weekend, and getting ready to start producing more unique items based in nature (shells, seaglass) as I have an abundance of beautiful materials that should be made into wearable art!

Also received the 3 printed fabric piece from PhoebeDea!
They're so lovely!


Isn't that gorgeous?


I'm going to go to TAP plastics and get some resin in the next week to turn these prints into beautiful pendants and earrings! So excited!

Sunny Thursdays

"Thank you so much! Love them and love the card. You are so talented! Glad to be the first of many sales!" ~cre8iveoutlet

My first etsy sale, and my first buyer feedback. Hurray for positive feedback :)

I am looking forward to this weekend, hopefully tomorrow the house I bought will be signed for and we can start the inspection process. It will be long, annoying, and expensive, but in the end, I'll have a wonderful house to call my own!
There's even a room that's going to be dedicated specifically to my wardrobe and my crafts! (plus a bunk bed for guests!)

Today's weather is sunny and warm, and I'm feeling it all over. I'm going to go home and make some cheerful bright jewelry to post, I think :)

The following piece is credited to ElanVitalAnthalogy, a fellow etsian, who introduced me to blogger in the first place. Isn't the work beautiful?! It's a print from her gallery, go look!

First Etsy Sale!!!

I made my first Etsy sale over the weekend!
I'm so excited. I shipped the item yesterday, so hopefully the buyer will receive it (and give good feedback!) soon :)
I included a free gift inside the package, along with the
earrings she bought.
It was the cutest little mouse with a mushroom for an umbrella.
The drawing gave me the bright idea to make another etsy shop, specifically for little drawings and cards, portraits and doodles, photos and prints. What do you think?

One foot forward


One step at a time.


I used to blog a lot, but back then it was Livejournal that I used instead...It was all personal and nothing business related, as I didn't have a business.

So this is the start of something fresh, something new and exciting!

Welcome to my artsy blog, where I'll be posting all things artsy, fun, and honestly? Probably very random.

You can find me on etsy at http://www.flylikehermes.etsy.com
Feel free to go peruse my offerings, leave me a convo, or just plain stalk me :)

Hopefully I'll have time to edit this blog and make it look more like ME in the coming weeks, and post lots of new items, interviews of other artists, and neat things I've found on the web.

Until then,
