The Rag-A-Muffins

I've been working feverishly on my new fall/winter work. I'm trying to move away from all jewelry and into more accessories. I still need to photograph my new creations on models, (you just can't get a good idea of how something is going to look on someone any other way), but I wanted to share something now. So I've taken some photo's without the benefit of models, and here they are. The TeenQueen tells me these will be popular with the youth population so I'm keeping them a little funky, (I recall thiving on funky when I was her age).
Well, I'm off to make more rag-a-muffins and so much more for this upcoming fall/winter season.

Rag-A-Muffin Tie Dye

I am crazy about circles! It is by far my favorite shape, so it just seemed natural that I somehow incorporate circles into the rag-a-muffins. And what a better color scheme to use than a deep, saturated almost tie dye looking variegation.

Rag-A-Muffin Roses

This one gets a little fancy for a rag-a-muffin but I just kept seeing roses as I was working on it, so roses it was. And I'm very happy with the whimsical outcome!

Rag-A-Muffin Faded

This was the first rag-a-muffin, I love the pale, almost washed out color look, as if it's allready been a favorite of someones for a while.

Simple Earrings

In an effort to A: Have some items that fall into the category of impulse buys and B: Just plain make more earring, (they seem to be a favorite with almost everyone) I recently made and put in my store a few pairs of simple semi-precious earrings that I hope will catch someones eye. I don't wear earrings much, although I used to all the time. Earrings and really high heels seem to be two fashion items that I just lost my taste for. Now don't get me wrong, I still love them, but on other people.

Skwiggazine

I've belonged to this NING group for a while but really thought it was just another "etsy love" site and although I do like etsy, really I do, I belong to enough of those. However, I stopped by the other day just to do a check-in, (I like to do this with the many networking sites I belong to), and discovered that it is very much about all else that is out there too. Color me happy!
Here's the link and I will add it to my list of favorite blogs, well, maybe not because technically it's not a blog and I don't know if I can put it in that list. Hmmm.... I'll figure something out. But here's the link for now.

And the lucky winner chose...

The contest featuring Tamarandesigns has ended and the lucky winner chose African Turquoise! This is one of my favorites too and I love the whole line that I call "fishing nets". I hope they are as happy with it as I was making it.

Congratulations!
