ArtFire - something new & different??

i have just opened a web presence on artfire.com - i guess my full address there is LauraTeague@artfire.com. it's kind of like etsy but not nearly as big so i thought i would give it a try. it's pretty easy to set up so i posted a couple of my sterling silver bracelets for sale there. i working to have more of a presence on the web - now i have my own website (laurateague.com), this journal and the artfire account. i have also been approved to open an etsy shop but just haven't worked up the energy to get that off the ground yet!

i have several new jewelry designs that i can't wait to post here but they are currently being photographed; i should be getting them back in a day or two & i'll post them. in fact, in a day or two i should have lots of new photos to post of my most recent work. i've been in a real "earring mood" lately so i thought i would post a couple of earring photos - see what you think. my goal is to always have something new & different - not just the same designs over & over but new things. it's more fun for everyone that way~

i like these copper earrings - not a lot of people work in copper, that i have seen & i find it wonderful! very warm.

my designs tend to be pretty simple, really - just a line, for the most part. i'm challenged to always find new & different ways to use & move that line- what i want to do is bring it out of the 2 dimensional into the 3 dimensional, if that makes any sense. i want the earrings to have some bulk and weight, well, not weight exactly but just to have a presence to frame the face. not an afterthought but something substantial there that frames. sigh. i don't know if i'm making sense about this.
