September EBW Challenge

The voting is up and running for the September EBW Challenge. Please vote for my Indian Summer piece if you get a chance. Voting is on the right side of the blog between now and Sept. 15. http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ I'm #14. Thank you!

Indian Summer challenge entry

I finished and photographed my September challenge piece last weekend. I listed it on Monday.


I was skeptical about these colors when I first started creating my bead mix, but I am very happy with the final result. The bead weaving process went very smoothly, which is not always the case with my leafy series. Once I set my mind to starting it, the process went quickly.

I finished the green leafy bracelet custom order this weekend. I may still try to photograph it this afternoon. My husband and I are going to a wedding tomorrow so I won't get much beading done then, but I still have lots of time tonight and Monday.

August Top Dropper features

Here are lovely items from two of my August Top Droppers who are also Etsy sellers. If you were in the Top 10 and haven't commented with an item yet, it's not too late!

These Southwest Sizzle - Turquoise with Red Beaded Sterling Silver Earrings are by BeadedTail. I love this color combination!

August Top Droppers

Thank you, as always, to everyone who has dropped by my blog regularly this month! I really appreciate your support. I know that this was another spotty month for my own dropping since I was out of town for nearly half of it. Please don't take it personally when I don't drop as much as usual. It doesn't mean that I don't like visiting your blogs anymore!

Here is the Top 10 for August:
1) My gypsygoods
2) Split Rock Ranch
3) Theresa's Treasures
4) anns snap edit scrap
5) A Rose By Name
6) Ruth's Creations
7) BeadedTail
8) WillOaks Studio
9) Silver Sachet
10) Melissa's Jewelry and Gem Blog

If you made the Top 10 this month and are a fellow Etsy seller (which I believe almost everyone on this month's list is!), please leave me a comment with an item of yours that you would like me to feature. If you leave me a link, I will feature it sometime in the next couple weeks. I think that it will provide a little different mix of items if you select items this month than if I select another round.

Thanks again!
