Etsy Sale

After a long absence from Etsy, I have reactivated my shop, but with some significant changes. All of the items in the bead and jewelry categories have been reduced in price to the point that you could not go out and buy the supplies cheaper. Also, I have decided that ALL of the proceeds will be donated to Compassion International for relief efforts in Haiti.

Tomorrow I will be listing the Sweet Tarts embroidery piece that I featured yesterday, but I am still praying about the price.

I have many items still to list, but it takes time. I am hoping that the money raised will be a blessing to others. God has so richly given to us and we "need" nothing else. I am excited to see what He will do with this.

A Most Unusual Stamp

A very exciting thing happened a couple of weeks ago. Someone contacted me through my store on Etsy with a request for a custom stamp. That is exciting enough, but she sent me a picture and the question, "Can you make this into a stamp?". Wow! This was the opportunity that I have been waiting for! Up until now, I have been carving images that I selected and had complete control over. This gave me a chance to test my skills outside of that envelope.

Here is the photo:

And the resulting stamp:
She has a shop on Etsy also and makes Rosary belts and a few other things. I would have liked to have added a little more shading to the mannequin, but couldn't decide how to do that without also adding texture. Since the mannequin is very smooth in appearance, I decided to leave it alone.
