Handcrafted jewelry featuring original art and watercolor paintings by Jennifer O'Toole.
Tile Jewelry Making Crafty Tip
After you glue your artwork to a piece of glass, use an emery board to remove any excess paper and to bevel the edges. The trick to a nice finished edge is to file in only one direction, like we're supposed to do with our fingernails. If you saw the emery board back and forth you will end up fraying your paper.

Jewelry Care Crafty Tip
Most handmade jewelry has a coating of lacquer finish to protect them from tarnishing. However jewelry will tarnish If the surface is scratched or removed. Water, soap and detergent will also harm these finishes. So please be careful with your jewelry by storing them in small bags or in jewelry boxes to enjoy them for a longer time.

Fashion jewelry made from feathers. My Boho Feather earrings come in a wide variety of colors and styles. Each pair of earrings is totally unique; I don't make the same design more than once.
Feather Jewelry Crafty Tip
Let your imagination go and try anything you think of! This specially applies to feather jewelry. Feathers by themselves are beautiful, now it is up to you to make different feathers dance together. Choose some feathers whose patterns and colors match. Mix and match! Then use some good glue jewelry, and finish off with wire wrapping the tips of the feathers together.

Unique one of a kind handbeaded jewelry designs! Seed beads, Czech glass, vintage finds, and gemstones in original beadwork patterns! Bracelets, Necklaces and earrings.
Buying Beads Crafty Tip
Take time to compare prices. As a jewelry designer, I am easily captivated by gorgeous beads in variety of unique finishes and new styles. In walk-in bead stores the prices are sky high, which makes pricing my items for resale a bit of a challenge! I have found that if I take the time to research the internet, particularly focusing on crafters sites and auction style postings, I can find those treasured lovlies for a fraction of the price! And private sellers are more apt to give you a deal for multiple purchases!

Micro Macrame Crafty Tip
For micro macrame and braiding make your own board. Cut a piece of board 4 inches wide x 20 inches long. Cut 5 pieces of cotton bump the same size and lay onto the board. Cover with a piled fabric like velour or chenille, pull the fabric round to the back of the board and staple in place. You now have your own board to pin threads to for braiding and micro macrame and the piled fabric will stop your work sliding about.

Handmade one-of-a-kind polymer clay jewelry and religious accessories by Virginia Soskin combine her colorful polymer clay designs with the finest quality sterling silver, crystal, semi-precious stones and beads. E-mail her to place custom orders.
Crafty Tip
Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer gel to clean liquid polymer clay from your craft brushes. It’s always at my sink, so I just work it into the bristles, then rinse. Apply again if needed. The gel is less drippy than rubbing alcohol and stays on the bristles better where it can do its job! No more ruined brushes!
