40% off Use Coupon Code: GOODBYE

It's time to close up shop...but I do so reluctantly!

We sold our home, but our new home won't be ready until Jan 2014, so we are moving in with my parentals, which means I won't have space to work on ANYTHING. It will be cramped.

So I have a 40% off sale at my shop FancifulWish , just use coupon code: GOODBYE to get the discount.

I'm sad but I will be reopening for sure in 2014 - so it's not total bad news, right? Right.

Xoxo,
Yolanda

Hand Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of FancifulWish 's best sellers (when I have the time to make them) are my hand stamped metal jewelry. I like the act of pounding a metal stamp into a piece of metal. Maybe it's stress relief? I bought my first kit from Beaducation . And yes I started off with a kit because I didn't know what went into metal stamped jewelry. I would have taken a class from my local jewelry store but I was at home with a newborn with no babysitter, so learning on my own was the way to go. Now I will warn you - making hand stamped jewelry is NOT cheap. You can get away with using a hammer you have at home to pound your letters into your metal but the letters themselves are pricey. I've only managed to collect 5 different types of letters, 3 of them the same font in different size with numbers included. The other a different font in lower and upper case sizes. And then there are punctation stamps and design stamps....not cheap. Alphabet s...

Beaded Wire Hoop Earrings

I saw a bunch of these online a few months ago and decided to try and make some because I have many left over beads from various bracelet projects. I also LOVE hoop earrings. Plain hoops, silver or gold plated were my favorite accessory to wear and still would be if I didn't have a son who loves to pull jewelry off me. Ow. But I remember rocking hoops since I was in high school! A teacher of mine asked me if it hurt to wear them because I had these real big ones (she said a bird could make a nest in there...HA HA Ms. Kepner). Over the years I've had an obsession with hoops. Thin, thick, rhinestone, plain, large, small. My favorites are big thin hoops. I scoured the internet once more and found a bunch of sites with instructions on how to make wire hoops. I bought some wire and proceeded to make them. I didn't have hoops on hand so I made that part also. It's amazing what a tylenol pill bottle can be used for! Anywa...

Metal and Leather

I absolutely love making silk ribbon wrap bracelets. I am obsessed about looking for different ribbon colors that I love and hope as well, that my customers will love (they do, they do!). I started making them when someone asked me if I could make a bracelet with the word Namaste. So I credit my yoga lovers for opening that door to me. I've been dying to start up using leather for my metal pieces and I'm happy to say I finally made one. Get it at FancifulWish And I can't say it was as easy as it looks to make. I could buy precut leather bracelets with the snaps already attached but I found a vendor who makes these awesome tooled leather. And they use different colors too...of course they sold some without the snaps (they sell a few with them, but I wanted to try my hand with putting the snaps, etc...) and I ordered a few test pieces. I love them... Check out the detail! And the color! This one is black and silver but I got so...
