Handmade Sea Glass Jewelry, Online Shops

It seems that having a couple of blogs and several shops has made it tough to find some of the sea glass creations I've made recently. I've received a couple of private emails as to where a specific piece can be found and i understand that part of this is my fault.

I know that I had planned on listing certain items in specific shops and then changed my mind, placing them elsewhere. So without further ado... here is what I have currently listed and where it can be found...

Etsy.com- Most of my sea glass jewelry is listed at this site... the most recent listings are-

Deep Citron Necklace (pictured above)

Ocean Pastels Bracelet (4 soft greens and blues are the focal "beads" on this bracelet)

Tropical Teal Necklace (the images do this necklace no justice at all...a beautiful necklace)

Lavender Mist Necklace (another beautiful necklace)

Lavender Bracelet (5 pieces of soft lavender... another where the lighting just didn't help to show off this piece)

My Electric Blue, Soft Aqua and Soft Green necklaces are also on Etsy, along with several more sea glass pieces.

On 1000Markets-

Seafoam Necklace - is the only newer piece added to the shop.

I also have a Green and Brown earring stack pair, a Deep Brown Bracelet and A Blizzard Necklace (wire wrapped frosty clear/white ocean gem w/ a sterling silver chain)

and on ArtFire (which is where the confusion started)

Sunny Seashore Necklace(wire wrapped greenish-yellow piece of sea glass)

Treasures from the Sea Bracelet (5 deep green pieces of sea glass with polished shell chips)

CreationsByRobin is the name of my shops at all three locations and if you are looking for a specific piece that you can't find, you can reach me either through either of my blogs or at any of the sites.

I still have about a half dozen necklaces waiting to be listed. I'm either waiting for my next shipment of sterling silver chains or for the sun to finally make a long enough appearance so I can take pictures (maybe today???)

To all that weren't sure where a certain piece was hiding (especially some of my customers that are like me...not very internet savvy), I hope this clears everything up. Feel free to ask, if you are still uncertain about specific pieces or have a custom piece you are interested in.

Thanks for all your support in 2008!

'til next time..

Sea Glass on ArtFire, New Sea Glass Creations...

In my previous blog, I mentioned placing a pale lime green necklace in my Etsy shop. After reviewing my sea glass item in my Etsy shop, I decided this pretty piece may be better suited to be the debut item in my ArtFire shop.

My Etsy shop has quite a few pieces of sea glass jewelry, so rather than add another to the mix, I thought it would be better to spread the greens around to different markets. I choose ArtFire over 1000Markets for this piece because my views at 1000Markets have been very low and in my first full day on ArtFire, my single listing received 13 views. Compared to my last listing on 1000Markets (also a green sea glass necklace) I'm impressed 13 views in one day vs 3 views in more than one week.

I also like the idea of ArtFire offering a feed of my Etsy shop, and a more important back-link to my shop on Etsy. Plus ArtFire offers the ability for me to see where my views are coming from, so I'll now if advertising campaigns are working, when they work best and how they ended up in my ArtFire shop (and hopefully this will lead to some Etsy traffic via the back-link)

For a picture of my debut listing, check out the image in my previous post or click on this link and go to my ArtFire shop directly... http://creationsbyrobin.artfire.com/

My new sea glass creations are quite a few wire wrapped pieces that are waiting for a new shipment of sterling silver chains and I have several pieces of drilled sea glass (all dime shaped or slightly smaller... including a pretty red piece of sea glass) and I'll hopefully start placing those in my shops over the next week or so.

If you happen to head over to my ArtFire shop, let me know what you think. There's only one listing at this point, but the shop is a work in progress and I'll be adding a sea glass bracelet(see image above) to that shop tomorrow. For anyone interested in my 1000Markets shop, I have a banner linking the site on the right panel and I'm also CreationsByRobin at the 1000Markets site too.

'til next time...
