I've got an on-line shop!



OK. I finally have launched my own little glass bead shop on the ArtFire site. The URL is PomegranateGlass.artfire.com.

I'd forgotten how long it takes to list items for sale. I did it before briefly, on Etsy and the year we did the online Ebay auction. All the staging and photographing, photo-editing, uploading, describing...seems like it takes forever. And to top it off, I'm using my cell phone for my camera until I can afford something a bit better. So, this explains why there are only 5 things listed so far. There were 6 but my good friend Lisa purchased something (Thanks Lisa!!).

Anyhow, go check it out at your leisure. Feedback appreciated as I get this little project off the ground. And while you are at it, you can sign up to be a 'follower' on my blog. I'm not exactly sure what that means. Maybe when I post something new you get an email alert(?) If someone tries it, let me know! Gotta go back to the torch and get some more goddesses cooking....



Thanks for looking.

My Little Goddesses

I am very excited about my little glass goddess beads. I was inspired by the tiny prehistoric figurines that have been found throughout Europe and Russia. (If you are not familiar with them, take a quick peek at the wikipedia page)

I have been a hobbyist, an on-and-off glass lampworker for several years. The creative focus involved in melting glass over a torch, designing, embellishing and hand shaping each tiny creation is deeply satisfying. I'm about to set up my glass bead and jewelry website and try my hand at offering my beads and jewelry for sale. I'll post the link soon.
