Jewelry by Sherry is the AFlessthan(10)sales guild

featured studio this week. http://www.artfire.com/users/jewelrybysherry is the link for this beautiful studio. Sherry is a retired military wife who started crafting while her husband was in the Canadian Navy. Sherry is located in Ontario, Canada.

Her shop is full of wonderful handmade jewelry. One of my favorites is this Turquoise and cloisonne necklace. It is beautiful!!!!!!!!!! The turquoise beads highlight the blue in the cloisonne perfectly.

I also love this copper Swarovski pearl and gold plated bead necklace. It has such a warm and inviting look to it.

Tali's Creations

Tali's Creations is the Artfire Guild with Less Than 10 Sales studio of the week. This wonderful jewelry studio can be found here http://www.artfire.com/users/talicreations .


There are many beautiful pieces of jewelry in Tali's studio, but my favorites are the pieces she has designed for Breast Cancer Awarness in honor of her sister who lost her battle with this all too common form of cancer.


Tali also has some lovely necklace sets in her studio. These sets consist of earrings, a bracelet and a neckace. You don't often see this anymore and it's nice to get matching pieces in one set.


Here are a couple of pictures of her jewelry, then you can click the link and see her studio and maybe find a nice gift. After all, Mother's Day is coming up soon.

Hippie Chick Jewelry and Design

_
is the featured guild studio this week. I love the name of this studio-maybe because it's because I'm just an old hippie chick myself. LOL! Hippie Chick is located in the beautiful state of Oregon and here http://www.artfire.com/users/hippiechickdesign .




She has been designing jewelry since 1999 and has been actively involved in several large arts and craft shows out there. Her work is cool, colorful, reasonably priced and she has free shipping for US and Canadian customers.




One of the pices that I love in her studio are these Vineyard Cluster earrings. Wouldn't they go perfectly with that little black dress-or that black turtleneck and your favorite jeans?
The Unakite Lariat is a wonderful piece. It would go beautifully with soft warm colors.
So go and check out her studio and see what you can find that you like. Remember, Valentines Day is coming and so is Mothers Day.











There is a link to the guild blog on the right, under My Blog List-be sure to check it out.
