Five Great Gifts To Give: Halloween 2016
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
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.

Halloween Felt Mouse-CandyCorn Maker-Orange Black Ornament Decoration
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.

New Items in the Shop: Gemstone Necklaces
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
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.
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.

Hit The Lights Genuine Jet and Camostone Bead Necklace
"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.
Metal Genuine Jet and Pyrite Necklace

New From The Alchemists Vessel
Good Morning,
Today I would like to share some new items from the shop and pass along a little news.
It is with heavy heart that we share the announcement of Blue Buddha Boutique closing. The physical store in Chicago will be closing in February, 2016, and the website will be open until April of 2016. Supplies are limited. Although we are trying our best to grab stock while we can, many the products we carry will be limited to one of a kind or customization will no longer be offered. We apologize to our customers for this inconvenience, but wish the people at Blue Buddha Boutique a happy and bright future in their next adventure.
We encourage you to click through and browse the website, if there is an item or project you would like, please let us know as soon as possible.
The products below are made with the beautiful anodized and natural aluminum purchased through Blue Buddha Boutique.
The stunning jewelry set, is a complete parure or suit of matched
jewelry, and includes a bracelet, earrings, and necklace. From the old
French, parure means adornment, and no lady was considered socially
acceptable unless she had at least one. Terrific for the tailored
office suit, Date Date dazzle, or a fun and fabulous piece for that
weekend get away.
Feel like a Queen wearing this stunning, strong, and shiny bracelet.
Silky across the skin, this substantial cuff is surprisingly lightweight
and a delight to wear. Elegant without being imposing, it is a subtle
statement piece that won't overpower your outfit, but will command
attention everywhere you wear it. Pairs perfectly with that Power
Business Suit, the darling little black dress on date night, or your
favorite jeans and t-shirt for lazy weekends.
Bright, shiny bold and beautiful, this lovely bracelet is sure to
attract attention wherever you go. Pairs with that Power Suit for the
Office, a stunning Date Night accessory, or a bit of whimsy on a weekend
getaway. Striking and alluring, the weave feels silky against the skin
and lays flat on the wrist.

New In The Shop: Ready To Wear or Customize Your Chainmaille
Good Morning,
The Holidays are right around the corner and the shop is creating and listing new items as fast as I am able.
The collection of Natural and Anodized Aluminum jewelry is growing, select a Ready To Wear Piece or Customize your selection in your favorite colors.
Aluminum Jewelry? Really? Yes, really. This is not your Soda Can aluminum, it is Top-Shelf, Jewelry Grade, Non-Tarnish, Color Fast metal. It shines, and sparkles, and is almost weightless, making it comfortable and easy to wear.
Terrific for Fantasy Film or Event attire, SCA, LARP, Cos-Play or other Costume needs.
CUSTOM ORDERS ONLY
Your bracelet will be made to your specifications. Please include wrist circumference when ordering. 1/4"-1/2" will be added to ensure a comfortable fit. The bracelet will fit snugly and comfortably around your wrist.
Contact the shop for yours today.
R. Mojica of Blue Buddha Boutique originally titles this weave “Rondo a la Byzantine”; this lovely cuff uses 18g top-shelf jewelry grade natural aluminum for a bight and shiny finish. It may also be made to specification with a contrast color of choice.
This piece is a bit stiff and finished with a matching slide clasp.
Please note: This piece takes up to three days to create. Your bracelet will be made and shipped as quickly as possible.
This stunning necklace and earring set is substantial yet amazingly lightweight. Natural bright silver aluminum makes a fabulous and strong statement piece while still being subtle and feminine. Terrific for the office, Date Night, or that casual weekend get away. The lacy design pairs easily with everything in your closet. Comfortable for all day wear.
16g natural bright silver aluminum jump rings and matching base metal toggle clasp complete the necklace. The earrings are a short length in the samepattern and measure about 1-1/2" long from earlobe. Ear wires are 22g Fish Hook Style surgical steel and should work for those with a metal sensitivity.
Arrives boxed, ready for gift giving.
Custom orders welcome. May be made in the Anodized Aluminum Color of your choice. Contact the shop for details.
Walk the lonely gables of the castle's roof and pet the gargoyles wearing this gorgeous and sensuous bracelet. No Princess in Training or Damsel Not So In Distress should be without at least one lovely chain maille item in her jewelry box. Light weight, and fun to wear this beautiful bracelet is the perfect accent for your favorite outfit. Looks great with the Tailored Business Suit or that cute Little Black Dress for date night, pair with your favorite pair of jeans for a casual yet colorful statement.
Terrific for Fantasy Film or Event attire, SCA, LARP, Stage, or Screen Costume needs.
Love this pattern, want it in different colors? We can do that. Contact the shop with your design idea today and let us create that special piece just for you. See our selection of Ready To Wear pieces in the shop, perhaps we have your favorite combination already.
Crafted from 18g Natural and Anodized jewelry grade aluminum, this piece is almost weightless and fun to wear. Finished with a matching Slide Clasp. Purple and iridescent Gunmetal rings play peek-a-boo beneath lovely high sheen natural (silver) aluminum rings.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look. In hope we have encouraged you to click through and see what else is on the virtual shelves.

In My Studio: Anodized Aluminum Chainmaille
Good Morning,
The elf has been busy this weekend, weaving and linking rings to create new and wonderful bracelets in bright and colorful anodized aluminum.
If you love the look of Chainmaille but think the pieces are too heavy in all that stainless steal and brass, we have a beautiful solution. Easy to care for, super lightweight and stunning in a variety of colors, patterns and weaves, Anodized and Natural Silver aluminum has all the style and none of heft.
We are expecting more colors and sizes soon. Have a favorite pattern that you would really like to have, but it's just to heavy or too much? Contact us and we can make that piece in Aluminum and of course precious metals, too. Many of the pieces you see in the shop can be made in aluminum, do not hestitate to ask us for that special piece. We love custom orders!
Currently listed on The CraftStar, these will have twin listings on etsy, if that is your preferred shopping site.
This is a brand new weave called "Elf Weave Braid" and can be customized in your favorite colors or single color of choice.

How To List Items: Helpful Hints
Good Morning,
Today the blog has some helpful hints for listing those wonderful handmade items you create.
Let's begin with Titles and Tags. Depending on where you list your items, character count and number of tags may vary, but the process is the same. Choose a title for your item.
Does it have a name? Many artists choose to call their piece something, names like "Emma", "Aurora", "Bob" to differentiate one piece from another, things like, "Paramour", "Enchantress", and "Princess" work just as well.
What is it? Bracelet, Earrings, Painted Box, Etched Glass? Be sure to be specific.
Helpful Hint: Many sites have crawlers or bots that will pick up on words in your title, their own little SEO searchers, make sure everything is spelled correctly. Check out the sites categories and try to include one word in your title that matches the category you would like your item to be found in. Spelling, spell-check does not catch all errors and even insists words are wrong if it does not recognize them. Take the time to check your spelling, and double check those triple score words, like Labyrinth and Cephalopod, twice.
Example: Fafnir Chainmaille Silver and Gold Dragonscale Bracelet
*It doesn't have to have a name, Chainmaille Bracelet works just as well, or you may include the name at the end of the title instead: Chainmaille Dragonscale Bracelet - Fafnir
Tags: Tags should reflect the above, and they should also be descriptive if possible. Ask yourself these questions when thinking about tags: What is it? Who is it for? What does it do? What color is it? What is it made from? Is it a particular fashion or style?
Example: bracelet, women, teens, jewelry, chainmaille, gold, silver, fashion, Rocker, Biker, Fantasy, handmade, dragonscale
Helpful Hint: Include words from your title in your tags as well. If your stuck you can also use words like: "traditional", "modern", or "classic".
Photography: Is it necessary to have a professional take your photos? No, many do, but most handmade artists are also the photographer. Getting that perfect shot is tough and there are all kinds of how-tos around the web. Here are a couple of more suggestions.
Do not use your cell phone. Just no. Although the picture looks great on the phone's screen it will not translate well to a site and will look blurry and out of focus. If you must use your cellphone, get a "selfie stick", this will help steady the phone for a better picture. Go through the phone's photo settings, many times the app has different size settings, use them, they will help.
Use at least four pictures, even if two are kind of the same. Try to shoot the item from different angles, both sides, from the top down, on a different background and a close up of the detail.
Helpful Hint: Get to know your digital camera. Does it have a MACRO setting? The Macro setting is used to magnify and capture very small things in focus and detail.
Example: Tiny Frog-Prince Charms
Almost there. You have a title, tags, and a photo. Now comes the hard part, the description. Should it be long or short? What information should be included? What does one say about the item?
Does it have a story? You can make one up. Where did it come from? What did it experience on its journey? What can the customer expect from the piece? Is it heavy? Light weight? Comfortable?
Take the time to jot down words on a list that you can refer to when listing the item and construct a simple sentence around it.
Example: This pair of earrings is light weight and comfortable enough for all day wear.
Completed Listing Example:
This beautiful chainmaile bracelet is elegant and understated. Simply stunning in Silver over Gold rings, one might imagine why a Dragon is required to guard a King's horde. Named after the dragon of myth that once guarded a great King's treasure, Fafnir is sure to keep your treasures safe and will effortlessly coordinate with everything in your closet.
Perfect for Fantasy Film or Event attire, Cos-play, SCA, LARP costume needs or a wonderfully fun piece for Game of Thrones or History Channel "Vikings" fans.
8" long and 1" wide. Handcrafted from 14Kt Gold--plated and Silver-plated (over brass) jump rings, finished with a Slide clasp for a secure fit.
Arrives boxed, ready for gift giving.
*Also available in Gold over Silver rings. Please see the shop for our collection of ready-to-wear items or contact us with your custom request.
