Today, thanks to the wonderful Alex from Propeller Prints (http://www.etsy.com/shop/propeller) , the Etsy Crafty Ireland Team was featured in an article in the Irish Times Magazine, of the main newspaper here in Ireland, The Irish Times.

Here’s a pic for you, thanks to the lovely Tanya of http://www.etsy.com/shop/TanyaMac.

It was amazing to wake up to. I am so proud to be a part of this team.

And to see some of my pieces in there is just fantastic. It completely made my day!

Thank you Alex for all your hard work. And a big congrats to the whole team!

I’m a bit late in posting this as the front page has already rolled over, but a beautiful treasury in Olive green shades made by CowlickCutie made the front page this afternoon. And I was honoured to be included.

Thanks CowlickCutie!

Edit… was on the front page again last night while I was sleeping. Lovely way to wake up.

I’ve long been a loyal reader to the wonderful Indie Fixx blog and more recently an Indie Fixx twitter follower. The woman behind Indie Fixx, Jen, put out a call for new items to use in a feature she calls Tweet Sweets, a regular feature on Indie Fixx.

I, of course, submitted and…

I am honoured to have my Electric Purple Necklace included in this great collaboration of sweet twitter finds.

Thanks so much Jen! xoxo

So, it’s not anywhere as warm as it was two weeks ago, but still it’s a pleasant sunny day here in Dublin with lots of pure white, fluffy clouds – my favourite kind.

I did finally get around to working on some more ReBalanced pieces and got them listed today. I should probably be doing laundry or something, but, meh. That’s what Sundays are for.

My newest creations – Whatcha think?

Rach (admin) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:02:10 +0000

I have been working on these for the past few weeks. I really love the look of them. My favourite pieces of jewelry are always those I can play with. I want to touch them and feel them. I love texture and tactile qualities in everything.

I really do love them, but I’d also love to hear what others think of them. Let me know in a comment.

If you’d love to touch them yourself, they can be found here.

Una – Bracelet

The focal point of this bracelet is a lovely Antique Bronze flower topped with a single round Montana (navy) Blue faceted Czech glass bead and tiny Bronze round spacers. It is surrounded on both sides with additional Montana Blue Czech glass oval beads on handmade links and finished with an Antique Bronze lobster claw clasp and chain.

It measures 7″ (17.8cm) long, but can be sized to fit at no additional cost.

Also, my free worldwide shipping deal is still on so take advantage!
