Well it's a beautiful fall day here in Columbus. I've decided to try and sell some of my cabs because my cufflinks sales are down. I have seen lots of new slabs that I want to purchase for 2015.  See the pictures below and hope you find something of interest. As always FanciMar is a place of one of a kind pieces so if you don't get it when you see it..oh well.

Here are my entries for the

Pine Ridge Treasures 

Gemstone & Metal Blog Hop

These are the gemstones I received for my GMBH

Picture Jasper gemstones in different shapes and sizes. I found a jasper focal bead and used 3mm glass beads as accents. Metal "S" clasp

This is my first piece for the GMB Hop. Here is used a combination of the different sizes and I just happened to have a focal bead that I had cut shaped and polished that went perfectly with  the Jasper gemstones.. I also used clear glass beads and the "S" clasp that came in my challenge kit.


 This is  my second entry for the GMB Hop. Here I used mostly the round Jasper beads and bronze chain. Each bead is hand wrapped. I also made matching earrings.
 Here is my last entry for the GMB Hop.  I used my Jasper gemstones to make this chain bracelet with matching earrings.
I hope that you have enjoyed my entries as much as I have making them.  Thanks for visiting FMD Blog

8th Annual BSBP...let me just say right now, thank you to everyone who visits my blog. Although I haven't left comments on all of the blogs I've hopped to.  I have enjoyed hopping and the designs are fabulous! Someone said the best form of flattery is to maybe not "copy" but copy with my own touch. I don't know the rules on this  deed si if it's not allowed please let me know.. Thanks again for hopping here at FMD, Marde

It's finally here!! My partner, Mary Ellen, sent me a smorgasbord of beadiful beads! Wouldn't you know it, just hours before the reveal I think of another design I want to make. I started it but can't finish in time.  So without further ado, this is what I came up with for my first reveal. I used the various sizes of the Brown Jasper beads and the small oval turquoise beads along with goldstone spacers.

Here's the second set from my soup!

Here are the beads that I have for this blog hop. I'm excited to see what I can do with these beads

Picture Jasper and pewter metal beads and clasps

I haven't been beading too much lately. I think I have enough jewelry right now. During the month of April I have shows every Saturday except the third one.

My popcorn blouses have saved the show for me. I had to order more for the upcoming one. If you haven't seen or heard of them before, they are small in size and stretch to fit small to 3X!! No ironing, you don't have to worry about wrinkles. Perfect for travelers! Customers that have bought them love'em, and buy more for themselves and gifts for others. If you get a chance check them out.

Couldn't Sleep last night!

8th Annual Bead Soup Blog Party

This is my soup..now where do I start?!?

I was partnered with Mary Ellen who is an outstanding designer from Alberque, New Mexico.. Mary Ellen has been beading for a number of years. She is an avid crafter.  My "soup" arrived on Saturday and it was all I could do to contain my excitement! I tore open the Bo's only to find a book or what I thought was a book. Much to my surprise it contained a treasure trove of goodies!  They were beautifully wrapped and identified. Enough of the chatter, here is what I received..
