Short and Sweet - Deby's Designs Does Beads Too!

When the glass is firing I make beaded jewelry, it's actually where I got my start back in the 70's. I love to designs pieces and create sets of all different colors and sizes. I most enjoy working with semi-precious stones and Swarovski Crystals. In the next few posts I will showcase some of these pretties as my mom photograghs them. They will also be for sale on my Etsy site when we get time to post them!

Regards,
Deby

Holidays are fast approching and DD will be ready

Everyone loves a one of a kind gift that was selected just for them and almost all women I know love jewelry. Please check out my website for upcoming shows and the online stores for great gifts. If you don't see anything please check back, items are being added all the time. Also, send me an email and I can create that perfect piece especially for you.

I'm looking forward to making my holiday glass; spiders, cob webs, pumpkins, black cats, snowmen, stockings and santas. These can be made for jewelry, pins, magnets or ornaments.

FALL is here whether we like it or NOT!

Two days ago it was 90 and we set a record in Cleveland, today I am wearing a sweatshirt - gotta love the Medwest. Actually I do, I love the fall; cool weather, beautiful colors and it does get me inspired. In fact I was in the "glass cave" (that's what I call my basement studio) yesterday and again today. I had to make more glass for my purse hangers that have sold like crazy this year.

I have done my last outdoor show for the year and really have nothing planned until November. That being said, my new projects will be holiday themed, first Halloween and the X-Mas. This wee I want to make some spider and pumpkin earrings and pins - hope to have them up on Etsy and ArtFire soon. And then next will be holiday ornaments, I made a few last year and they were awesome. I hope to have a nice order from a local gallery soon.

Well back to the cave!!

DD had a GREAT week!

Kind of sorry the outdoor shows are over, was just getting into the new tent and display - oh well. The RR Arts fest was a HUGE hit and I sold lots more than I anticipated, sold 2 of my favotire necklaces (below).

Next for me is the Olmsted Falls (OH) Shop Hop on Oct 1-3, I should be at Odd Fellas on Columbia Rd (across from Drug Mart). Haven't determined if I am outside or inside. Then it's off to Florida to see mom and a private party on Nov 7th. And then Basket of Treasures at the Westlake (OH) High School on Nov 13th ( www.westlakejuniorwomensclub.com/treasures.html ).

Well that's all for now, need to make more beaded necklaces, got cleaned out at RR and my friends from Bunco!!!

Lots of stuff for Rocky River Arts Fest

I've been making beaded beauties for the show tomorrow, have found a new love in the base metals. Big fan of antique brass and copper, earrings using chain are the best yet! I would show a picture, but you need to see them in person. Here is where we'll be tomorrow from 10-5:

Come see me!

3 days until Rocky River Arts Fest

My great friend Beth Martin ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/beachglassshop) and I will be showing our wares at the Rocky River Arts Festival on Saturday, Sept. 18th from 10-5. It is located in in the Old Detroit Road shopping area and should be a great show. There will also be lots of other artists there as well, but you can only buy your jewelry from Beth or me - LOL.

As I said in an earlier post I am offering $5 off each piece you purchase, don't forget the holidays are creeping up quicker than we think/want.

On another topic, Jean (my mom) is getting really creative with her postings and pictures for my website ( http://www.debysdesigns.net/ ) and Etsy shop (see above). Here is the latest pretty to go up:

Beads, Beads, Beads ..... I'm more than just glass~~

Recovering from minor surgery so I spent some time making beaded jewelry for Brigette's Hair Studio in downtown Cleveland. Anyone that says salons aren't a great place to sell is nuts, she is by far my most lucrative consignment shop! Actually I am her only supplier, I think she fired all of the others :o).

Sold another piece on Etsy over the weekend first one of the paw prints, yippee. Jean is working feverishly to keep the list current and growing - thanks mom!! xoxox

On a personal note.... my friend Julie L is about to become a grandmother any minute. Her daughter Lizz is about to birth baby Zoey a future wearer of Deby's Designs - LOL.

More on the Sparx show this weekend - should be a good one.
