The Frontpage [Round Two]

This is unbelievable!
My shop is almost empty, still I made it to Etsy Frontpage once more :D
This time with my Lac Kitten Ring in a selection from Etsy Admin itself.
What can I say? They seem to like me :)
Thank you very very much!

The Copy [Second Step]

How many is one? Deganit Stern Schocken

Form and stucture studies trying to achieve a new object that translates the symbolism attached to the first object, preserving it's main visual concept transformed by the process of copy.

The Frontpage!

I couldn't believe it. I just got home from a class and found a message from a fellow etsian telling me that I made it to Etsy frontpage today! Thank you!
I'm a little sorry that I wasn't able to see my Bunny Ring there, but it's already sold.
You can still see the treasury that got it to that frontpage, it's the handmade for all.
It's amazing the amount of people that got to my shop, and I have a lot of new hearts :D
And my little Teddy Ring is in a gift guide.
That's it > Hooray!

Your Treasure, My Pleasure

I just love being featured in treasuries (I'm getting dangerously used to it ;)!

It's so interesting for me to see how other people insert my pieces in a whole unique context of their own. And today I found two rings from my I'm All Ears series in these thematic selections.

The first one, Eternal by 3SistersLove is featuring my Teddy Ring among beauty and poetry.

The second one, handmade for all by estasketch makes my Bunny Ring look like a tough guy.

And I think they look so perfect together, don't you?

Thank you both for including me in your excelent choices!

Hands Full

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. John Lennon

You must forgive me once more for not posting my Xmas Favourite Selection planned for Fridays on this blog, but this humble friend of yours is working harder than ever.
In between the classes I'm teaching and the ones I'm attending, I'm actually selling a lot more then I was prepared for :)
Happily exhausted, my hands are full of work. My head full of new ideas.
My heart is full of hope and expectations.
