season's greetings from dawn boyer jewelry
Thanks to all my family and friends who have been so supportive this year. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year! Stay tuned in the New Year to see new designs and where I’ll be showing dawn boyer jewelry.
I’ve been busy this week, making up new pieces for my last show of the year, the Rock Bass Rainbow Fest, which is next Saturday – December 12th, in Philadelphia. There will be new fidget necklaces, a couple of new bracelets and of course, lots of earrings.
Something pretty to look at – the first snow of the season occurred today in suburban Philadelphia, and I was lucky enough to get a couple of shots of it from my front door, before the snow stopped. I love watching the snow fall at twilight – it is so quiet and atmospheric. I will be adding this picture to my idea notebook.

have arrived! I found some beautiful lampwork glass beads from fellow Etsy vendors Cottagecove and glassaddictbeads, and have already completed 2 new earrings. Photos will come soon – I loaned my camera to my friend.
Cottagecove makes beautiful beads that she calls raku – swirls of color and random patterns abound and are more striking for the simple design of the beads.

glassaddictbeads are also striking – the patterns running through the lampwork look like flames, in brilliant shades and the beads have a nice heft, so that they will suspend nicely.

I already have more designs running through my head for the beads, I just need to find the right gems!
I found a great thread in the Etsy forums today – sellers who are promoting each other by becoming fans of each others Facebook pages. It’s a way to add fans to your page, to see other vendors (I fanned 2 who are in the Philly area!) and to get your name out there. I’m having fun – I’ve learned so much about Facebook in an hour today, than I have in months. If you haven’t become a fan yet, here’s your chance! Fan Me
Since this has been a quiet week for me, I thought I’d share someone else’s artistic creations. The artist is Brandon McConnell, and with a few simple tools and spray paint, he creates the most wonderful worlds – watch him at work on youtube (keyword: super sprayer).
