Promoting my Etsy Shops

It's been a very busy time. I've extended the marketing of my design work to now include two shops on Etsy. Etsy is a great place to find many wonderful handcrafted products from a community of very talented indie artists.

I established two shops on Etsy. The first shop I opened in November '07 is dedicated mostly to the art pendants I create. The art pendant you see is one of my most recent pendants hot off the easel so to speak. I created this pendant by hand painting the art with acrylic directly on a bamboo wood tile. To learn more about this original piece of wearable art, please visit my Etsy stop: Sunfluer Designs

The second shop is devoted to the drawings and paintings I create. I love making the collectable ACEO's - artist trading cards which are mini pieces of art. These cute cards make for great conversation and collecting from your favorite artists. In addition to the art cards, you can find my artwork in the form of drawings and paintings. To check out my art shop, go to: Barbara Giordano Art

Artwork Pendant

New to the catalog is the very beautiful, original, one of a kind artwork pendant created by me and signed on the back. I use acid free pigment inks on hand sanded ceramic. Sanding gives a nice, smooth finish. The artwork and all sides of the pendant is topped off with 3 coats of high gloss, acid free sealer for long lasting beauty and enjoyment. All of the findings are sterling silver. The bail is wire wrapped sterliing silver with a Swarovski crystal for just a touch of added sparkle. The hook/eye clasp is wire wrapped sterling silver as well. The pendant is hung on lovely silk dyed in multi-turquoise and has my designer SJD signature tag in sterling. It's so light weight and such an eye catching piece. This necklace looks super great with jeans.

An original piece of artwork is being sold at the very modest price of $35.00 directly from my website. You'll not find anything like it elsewhere. Enjoy wearing original artwork jewelry. Visit my website to shop for well handcrafted artist designs: SunfluersJewelryDesigns.com

Sunfluer's Jewelry Designs Added Another Blog Space

You can now find me on two blogs. Two blogs are better than none, eh? I'm excited about creating this new blog. It provides another way for me to get the word out on the great designs I make. I'm an artist. My main focus has been on crafting jewelry designs. The designs I make are unique and very well made. You can check it out here: SunfluersJewelryDesigns.com I think you'll like what you see. And, you can let your friends know about my site too! As an artist, I guess I can't be too modest for suggesting it.

So, why do I call this blog "Sunfluer's Designs?" I also draw and paint. Creative people seem to need more then one way to express themselves. With that being said, I recently created artwork ceramic pendants. The one above is a personal favorite. You can check out more artwork pendants as well as the many other designs on my website.
