Good Morning,
Today I would like share some items that are apparently trending this year.
This year Adult Coloring books are all the rage, and I own five or six. There are all kinds of coloring books out there, and there are even instruction books on the designs called "Tangles" or "Zentangles", draw and color your own designs.
The cell phone, the personal accessory now has accessories of its own. How about something unique for the Cell-Selfie-Text addict you know? These adorable Ear-Phone Jacks protectors (dust guard) are available at Amazon and come in several styles. I like the elephant. Fun, affordable and more bling to ring about.
Know a Do-It-Yourselfer? How about a fun kit in their favorite hobby or crafting passion. I love to knit and these kits are just adorable. You can find them on Etsy, and they include, animals, mythological creatures and dinosaurs. Clever and cute. (I want one).
Geeks, we all know one, and sometimes they have best toys. Like this Mine Craft cellphone charger as sold on ThinkGeek.
Because presents should be personal, check out the Personalization Mall, they have great items like this unique Jewelry Box that can be customized and totally affordable at $34.00.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

yet durable bracelet is hand crafted in Bright and Anodized Aluminum in

Good Afternoon,
The blog is a little late today, we spent yesterday and most of this morning learning new weaves to entice, delight and surprise you.
Several of the attempts did not work, but undaunted, I will eventually learn those that have me stumped for the moment. The successes are always fun as well, and this simple and deceptively intricate weave is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Commonly referred to as "Oops" it is also (technically) called European 4 in 1 Unbalanced and / or Reversing Bias 4 in 1. I like Oops best.
The weave makes a lovely mesh like-pattern, that reminds me very much of garter stitch in knitting. The tutorial called for 16g 1/4 ID rings. This makes a large, chunky piece that feels wonderful to the touch and can be created in single or multiple colors and a variety of metals.
Shown here in 16g 1/4" ID and 18g 5/32" ID. This weave can make a bold and bright statement or be sized down for a beautiful feminine and delicate band.
Shown here in the horizontal position as it would appear on your wrist. Bright and Anodized Aluminum in Dark Blue and Emerald Green create a pretty wave pattern down the center of the piece.
Shown vertically in Violet, here the Bright Aluminum is used as an edging creating a striking stripe of purple down the middle of the piece.
We are working on both sizes currently and hope to have them available in the shop soon.
Like what you see, but don't want to wait for the listings? Contact us today with you custom request and let's make something wonderful together.
Thank you for stopping in and taking a look.

Good Morning,
One of my very favorite holidays is right around the corner, Halloween. Today's selection of items comes from five unique shop on The CraftStar.
From: Warmth
Candace is so crazy about Candy Corn that after I fashion her tiny face
she begs me to dress her entirely in Candy Corn Fabric! I add her ears
and a black bow with a pearl. I make very sure that I add the tiny red
felt heart on her right foot that signifies that she is a Heartfelt
Mouse?1981. Then I give her a nice long tail. You would think that
Candace would have to see her dentist a LOT. But no....perfect little
teeth. She holds a teenie tiny plate with three, count them THREE hand
molded Candy Corns. A mother can only do so much. She gets straight A's,
always does her chores, is the first one dressed for church on
Sunday...but she is addicted to Candy Corn. Candace will come to you in
her specially sized crush-proof box.
Wickedly awesome! Share greetings with this amazing card, which
works for Halloween as a witch, OR it works for any occasion if you
interpret this as Maleficent! She sort of looks like her, don't you
think?? Blank inside, a greeting can be added at your request.
All
our cards are handmade with acid-free cardstock, inks and
embellishments. Everything is cut, stamped, colored and assembled by
hand, so each piece is one-of-a-kind! No two will be exactly alike. Some
cards however will contain special embellishments that cannot be
duplicated. Those cards will be listed as OOAK and cannot be reproduced
in any way. Otherwise, we can always change a color for you or create a
custom design to your liking, just send us a message and we'll make
something special just for you.
Please note that colors may appear slightly different in person, depending on your monitor.
The
Royal Pumpkin is a smoke-free, pet-free environment. All cards come
with a matching envelope and safely packaged in an acid-free clear
sleeve for protection.

Good Morning,
Today I would like to touch on a subject that many fellow artists find hard to define. There is a question that all crafters and those that sell their wares to the public are asked on a constant basis "Did you make that?" and occasionally followed by "What do you do?" Now there's a toughie.
The answer to the first question is "yes"; the answer to the second is not that simple. I sat down the other day and asked my self that very question. What do I do? And the answer surprised me, because I'm not just a jewelry designer. If I was to write out what I do, like a resume, some of the positions I hold would be as follows:
CEO - Chief Executive Officer
President / Sole Proprietor
Accountant
Buyer
Operations Manager
Social Media / Marketing Manager
Advertisement
Production Manager
Sales Manager
Customer Service Representative
Mail Room
Janitorial Services (OK, that one is for fun, but I still have to clean up the studio).
As a one woman three ring circus, I do not have employees, these positions or more importantly their work falls to me, and only me. In there somewhere I am also the Jewelry Designer. When you own your own business, whether hobby or career you find yourself in one or more of these roles daily. You do more than you know.
So what do you do?

Good Morning,
Today I would like to share several new pieces in the shop. Great for men or teens, rockers, bikers, Viking Warriors or Thanes of the Realm.
These items are available at both our The CraftStar and Etsy Shops.
Mechanix Genuine Hematite and Pyrite Necklace
Masculine and understated is this very muted color genuine Hematite
and Pyrite necklace. Perfect for the Mechanic, Warrior or Musician in
your life.
Genuine Hematite and Pyrite alternate around the 18"
length of metal Tiger Tail beading wire. Finished with a Lobster Claw
clasp.
Pyrite is a very protective stone, shielding the user from
negative energy of all kinds. Pyrite blocks energy leaks and mends auric
tears. Carry Pyrite in your pocket to protect you from both
environmental pollution and physical danger. Pyrite also promotes good
physical health and emotional well-being.
Hematite from the Greek
"haema" meaning blood, due to the red color seen on the surface of the
stone before cutting and polishing. Containing mainly iron, it is found
in both crystalline and rough forms. Warriors carried this stone as they
thought it made them invulnerable and indestructible.
"Hit the lights!" The words every concert goer longs to hear, it
means the show is starting! This masculine and handsome necklace would
be perfect for the stage. Matte black Jet beads separate the unique type
of Jasper called Camostone (it looks likes camouflage).
Jet is
not actually a gemstone, but a "Stone" created of Fossilized Wood,
sometimes called a "mineraloid", due to its organic origins.
Jasper
is an impure variety of silica, usually ranging in color from reds and
browns to greens. Jasper has been thought of as a stone of protection.
18"
total length. Genuine Jet and Camostone (Jasper) beads are laced on
Tiger Tail beading wire and finished with a Lobster Claw clasp with
extension chain.
Genuine Jet and Pyrite beads chase each other along the 18 length of this heavy duty necklace. Masculine and handsome.
Genuine Jet and Pyrite beads are strung on Tiger Tail beading wire and completed with a Lobster Claw Clasp.
Part of our Gems for Gents line of jewelry, this masculine and
attractive necklace is very handsome, and would be appropriate for women
as well, it hangs at 18" total length. A beautiful flat oval Brecciated
Jasper Bead is centered and framed by oval shaped Pyrite, the
intermittent pattern of Jasper and Pyrite continue around the length of
the necklace.
Genuine Brecciated Jasper (Red Jasper with Black
Matrix), and Pyrite beads are strung on Tiger Tail beading wire and
completed with a silver base metal Lobster Claw clasp.
