Sher2x4-Landing focused on social networks for the summer

Whether I am working in traditional fine art arenas or the more local Saturday in the Park arts & crafts arenas, I look to the past cottage industry for influences and to the arts & crafts industry to bridge the technique and material gap.

Many months ago I saw some info on a trend of making jewelry stemware markers. I thought this was a very trendy idea that non-commercial artists were promoting. I had no idea what these items would look like but I sort of filed the intro idea in my cluttered brain cells for another day.

Yesterday, I was out and I saw a commercial store box with these markers. I was not excited at all. They looked cheap. So now I am looking to do at least one set of my own and see what happens.

I realize I am going to need wire, beads, charms and a pair of pliers.

Watch for my new line this coming summer.

Past midnight and still no storms

So many storms that I actually find myself now working around the weather so here is a small alert: New items have been listed in the eCrater Store. Do stop by and check my inventory.

I've always gathered up tins because I just like to keep things contained. I find pretty tins along with baskets and boxes make a new and exciting electic decor.

In my shop you will find many vintage tins. I have just been collecting them since the 60s and even though I don't need them all I just can't seem to pass them up. I even swap them out - Put my supplies in the new one and place the older one online.

You can contact me if you find more than one item and I will combine on shipping across 3 stores.
