11 of 31 in December and BAO Item of the Week (12/11 - 12/17)

The only "problem" with my business model is that I offer made-to-order versions of previously sold pieces. This means that, while I am blessed with many sales, I don't get nearly as much time as I would like to play and create completely new designs. Mind you, I am not complaining. I am very grateful for the success I have had using this business model. It seems to work for some other beaders who have copied it as well.  I remember one telling me she would get bored beading the same piece more than once. Well, she's now getting bored as her paypal account fills up. :D

Every now and then, however, I do get to create something brand new. Such a piece is my new

Lavender and Orange Bargello Peaks and Valleys Peyote Cuff

I have been wanting to bead this new bargello pattern up for some time now and the Bead Art Originals lavender and orange color challenge (more on that next week) provided the perfect excuse. For those beadweavers amongst you wondering whether I will publish the pattern:  It will be available as this next Tuesday's Pattern.

For you nonbeaders who would like to own this for yourself, you are in luck. Leave "11 of 31" and your ring size in the Notes to Seller when you purchase this, and I will include a peyote band ring in the same colors (a $15 value) with your shipment. This offer is valid between now and midnight Etsy time on December 31st, which is also how long the free worldwide shipping special at Sand Fibers lasts.

Since this is Friday, I also get to announce my Bead Art Originals Item of the Week for this coming week.

Asymmetrical Symmetry Peyote Cuff

Purchase and pay for this by midnight on Thursday AND leave "BAO" in the Notes to Seller and I will include a surprise gift, handmade by yours truly, with your package. Shipping is free as well.

Now be well and go have yourself a fantastic Friday!
