My apologies that the past two posts have been for sales. Once finals are over I will return to normal blogging.
Today is Small Business Saturday! Now that everyone has had a fantastic Thanksgiving, and some have braved the blockbuster Black Friday sales, it's time to look to your local artisans and businesses for meaningful Christmas gifts that support individuals!
Both today (Saturday, November 29th 2014) and tomorrow (Sunday) I am offering 15% off your entire purchase. Just use the coupon code SBS2014 ! If you live in the US, combine that coupon with SBS2014freeship for free shipping!
(This excludes all "Made to Order" items and custom listings).
I know that some of you enjoy seeing the process that goes into making my jewelry. This is a not-really-tutorial that shows how I made the Bluebell Chainmaille Flower bracelet! It is inspired by the purple-blue "bluebell" flower, also known as harebells and fairy thimbles.
"When dim and dewy twilight falls,
Then comes the time
When harebells chime
For fairy feasts and, fairy balls.
They tinkle while the fairies play,
With dance and song,
The whole night long,
Till daybreak wakens, cold and grey,
And elfin music fades away."
~Cicley Mary Baker, artist of the flower fairy paintings

Also, as of this month my Artfire shop is officially closed. I am now selling only on my Etsy store, Shealynn's Faerie-- please check it out as I am adding more items!
One last announcement: My queue for custom orders is nearly full, so if you have anything custom that you would like me to make for Christmas, please email me straight away. Thank you!
Handmade jewelry, homemade gowns, and legitimate swords and staffs can turn ordinary party-goers into Elvish queens and princesses. This is precisely what happened with my beautiful cousins and aunts during our latest get-together! You might remember that I shared hilarious pictures of outtakes from this photoshoot in the post We're All Mad Here. Now, I am thrilled to share the pictures that turned out well!
I think that I will let the photos speak for themselves, and I hope that you enjoy our craziness! Doing photoshoots like these are so much fun. :)
(And if you want to find out more about the Lord of the Rings prop replica weapons you can see the older blog post talking about all of them in all their awesomeness!)
All the jewelry used in this photoshoot is from my Etsy shop.
