I know, I know, its spring right? Nearing summer? And I should be compiling great summery themed Collections. Well, hell. Sorry ’bout that. I spied this awesome vest from RockHandWool and it inspired this latest artfire collection. So there. And, truth be told, I swear I used to own a vest that looked an awful lot like this one. Maybe I need to go dig through my closet. Of course I’ll need to hold on to it until, say, October since it’s already 90+ here. (Also, for those you that are eagle eyed, I included another item from The Mud Place’s shop. I LOVE her stuff.)
This one is called Warming Trends.

New to the Shop! Glorious orange, blue, red, well, I guess multi color might be a better definition of these artisan made boro glass lampwork beads. I’ve paired them with sterling silver accents and let them dangle from my hand formed architectural sterling silver earwires – Mardi Gras OOAK
These one of a kind earrings are made from my last two of these wonderfully bright multicolor boro glass beads. They are orange, blue, purple, and red, and like all boro beads, appear different colors in different light; different shades inside than when you wear them outside. The beads are accompanied by sterling silver access and hang from my hand formed sterling silver rectangular shaped ear wires. The ear wires have been tumbled for hours to bring out the shine and ensure that they fit comfortable in your piercings. They are long too … nearly 2 1/4 inches (5.7 cm)


I’ve got several new pairs of earrings that need to be listed this week. This is the first of many. The colors in this pair make me happy, and I figured it was a good way to start out the week.
Enjoy the spring days everyone,
