Blogathon Auction!

My friend Shira is organizing a blogathon and auction for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center on July 25th. She is a wonderful writer, and asked her cadre of creative peeps to donate work based on her stories.

Inspired by her online novel-in-progress Shayara, I put something together this weekend:

House Tamra


A green dichrotic art glass pendant wrapped in silver wire hangs from a cord of green and gold Czech crystals, woven with bright green ribbon.


I got the pendant in a trade, and it very much wanted to be involved. I have no more pendants of that kind, so this is a one of a kind necklace ;-)

Here's more info on the blogathon, with more artisans and stories to come!

Return of the Elegant Cats!

I am not the most consistent blogger, as you've probably noticed. But every week is an opportunity to get back on my feet even if I don't land there :-)

This week's artist just friended me on Twitter, with very good timing.

Lola Lynn makes lovely jewelry and prints for her Etsy store, including these adorable paintings:

Emerald Kitty
&

Kubist Kitty Bleu

Go forth and enjoy!! (Also, buy her stuff ;-D)
