Artfire Jewelry Artists


I have made several references to my shop on artfire.com.  Artfire has a lot of people who make great and beautiful handmade products.   You should check them out.  If you are looking for jewelry, candles, clothes, pictures, cards, photos or just about anything, you will find something you love on artfire.

Today, I am showing some of the people who make the fabulous jewelry you see on artfire.  Some of the people who make jewelry are shadowdogdesigns, bluemorningexpressions, and thesingingbeader just to name a few.

Shadowdogdesigns makes jewelry for just about every occasion.  She has some for the holidays, casual and more formal occasions.  The jewelry Shadowdogdesigns makes are all full of colors.  There is nothing dull in her shop.

She also uses a lot of different types of beads, gems and shapes.  This piece she used Swarovski crystals.  Doesn't it look very bright, cheerful and colorful?

These earrings could be worn to an evening out.  They are gorgeous.

















Shadowdogdesigns also has some fun items in her artfire shop.  Take a look at these Halloween earrings.



Now don't these put you in the Halloween spirit?


















Shadowdogdesigns has a huge selection you should check out.


Bluemorningexpressions also makes fabulous jewelry.  She makes jewelry along with polymer clay items.  Some of these items will become part of her jewelry pieces.  When you browse her shop, you will see the magnificent pieces she makes.

Here is a great example of Bluemorningexpressions polymer clay items and jewelry.

These are perfect for Easter or any fun occasion.  I bet you can't resist these earrings.

















Want to make your own earrings/jewelry?  Bluemorningexpressions has polymer beads you can use to make your own creations.  Here are some raw purple and yellow striped flower cane.


Aren't these colorful? They would be great for a pair of earrings and matching necklace.














TheSingingbeader has some beautiful musical themed jewelry along with a variety of other jewelry.  She has some sterling silver pendant neckaces of musical instruments that would be a very nice compliment to any outfit.

If you play guitar, you would love this sterling silver guitar pendant.

Thesingingbeader also has non-musical inspired jewelry.  Here is a lovely ruby red crystal pewter bracelet.

These are just 3 of the great jewelry designers on artfire.  There are many, many more.  If you like jewelry, take a look at artfire and the jewelry designers.  You will surely find a piece you will love and will have to have.

If jewelry isn't your thing, there are other great artists on artfire.  Don't forget these are handmade items or supplies.  They are not like the cheaply made items you find in most stores.  They are quality handmade items.   These items are not mass produced, but made one at a time by hand.

What I have been up to

I have been working on some new items and trying to get them posted.  There seems to always be more and more that need posting.  I am also having problems describing some of the items.  If you have multiple colors, scents or very similar items, it gets hard to come up with new ways to describe them.

My husband has been working on the basement trying to get his music studio up and running.  In doing so, my work area has been cluttered with everything that came out of the main room of the basement.  So making candles for the time being is out.  A person cannot even make it to the table to where I make my candles.  I am hoping I will be able to get back to making some candles soon.

I have some new molds I am excited about trying out.  They are for votive candles.  I don't know how much they weigh or how tall they are yet.  I won't know until I make some and see what happens.  I can hardly wait.

I have also been making some jewelry with my daughter and listing on my artfire shop (shymouseecrafts.artfire.com).  I also have a supadupa shop (shymouseecrafts.mysupadupa.com) where I have been trying to list some of the items we work on.  It also has a lot of my candles listed also.

Here are some of the items I have listed on my supadupa shop.

Just take a look at these earrings.  Aren't they gorgeous?  They are memory wire hoop earrings with Swarovski crystals.
















Here are some dice earrings.  They are made of black, white and red dice beads.  Perfect for someone who likes to play dice.
















I also have some of the zipper pulls we created listed.  They are so cute.
















Be sure to check out both of my shops.  You will be amazed at what you see.  Everything is handmade and beautiful.  Enjoy your shopping.

New Items

I finally got all the new items listed in my artfire shop.  Ok, I think I have them all listed.  There may have been one or two that were missed.  I had so many of them to list, I couldn't keep track of them.

I have listed some more candles and key chains.  The candles I listed were some tarts, container candle and some pillar candles.  They all have the beautiful and strong golden rose scent.  They are also a very nice yellow color.  It is very bright, very hard to miss.

The key chains that were listed were mostly a brass color.  There are a few that are not brass color.  Some of them are pink, purple, red and have silver in them.  They are all gorgeous.

Check out my items at shymouseecrafts.artfire.com.  I'm sure there is something there you will like or know someone will like.

Upcoming items.

Tonight I just listed a few zipper pulls.  They are handmade and beautiful.  Stop by my shop and take a look.  Tomorrow, I will have some more to list.

I also have a few candles to list.  There are some container candles, tarts/melts and some pillar candles.  They have a strong golden rose scent.  This is perfect for the upcoming spring.  These amazing candles have that nice fresh, clean scent of fresh picked roses the first thing in the morning.  They are also a very nice bright yellow color just like a golden rose would look like.

Visit my artfire shop, shymouseecrafts.artfire.com, several times over the next few days.  I have a bunch of items to list.  Now is a perfect time to get ready for spring and summer with these strongly scented candles and the gorgeous and colorful zipper pulls.

I may even have a few other items my daughter and I created.  She wanted to venture out into making other items besides zipper pulls.  We will see what happens.

Valentines day is only a few days away.  Nothing says I love you more than red hearts and beautiful roses.  You can list any item that is a anything to do with hearts and roses.  This can be a color, an item, a scent, anything.  Use your imagination.

Spring Colors

I know some places are still buried in snow or expected to get some snow in the next few days, but I thought having a post where you can post your cheery Spring colors would be a great way to brighten and warm things up.  Spring is not really that far away.  Now is the time to get ready for Spring.

Crafting with daughter

My daughter wanted to do some crafting with me and I thought it was not a good idea for her to work with the hot wax to make candles.  I took a beading class and crimping class at Michaels.  I also watched a lot of videos on Youtube.  I think I gained more information and learned a lot more from Youtube than I did at Michaels.  

My daughter and I started out making some zipper pulls together.  Some are listed on my artfire page, shymouseecrafts.artfire.com.  Now she is more interested in making other pieces of jewelry.  So far, we have made some earrings, bracelets and necklaces.  I admit some of them are fairly basic while some are a little more elaborate.  My daughter will pick out the colors or we both will, then she will string them on the wire and I will crimp the beads and create the loops.  Some of these earrings will end up on my artfire page.  My daughter has already asked me to list them for her.  She wants to make some money to get a dog, lizard, frog, snake, and a few other animals (before you ask, yes she loves these kinds of animals).  I figured this is a good way to teach her about money and spend some time with her.  Ok, I admit, I'm doing it to spend more time with her.  :  )

This is a picture of one of the zipper pulls we have made.  This is listed on my arfire page.  What do you think?

New tart molds

A few days ago, I purchased some more tart/melt molds. One mold was of pumpkins, which would be good for Halloween or Thanksgiving. I am thinking of making a few pumpkin tarts and seeing how they turn out. I think they will look gorgeous and of course the scent will be strong like in my other tarts and candles. I'm a little excited and anxious to make these.

The next mold I got was of skulls. I know, this is really a Halloween mold and it's no longer Halloween. These would be great for next year though. It will also give me time to think of something really original to do with them.

Another mold I got was of fingers and bones. One idea I had for this for next year was to somehow make the finger have "blood" dripping down it like you see in the stores around Halloween for some of the decorations. This may be something really interesting.

The last mold I purchased was of roses. This is to replace one of my molds that met an unfortunate accident. A very strong rose scent is destined for these beautiful rose tarts/melts. Since I have a few different rose scents and rose mixtures, I don't know which one it will be yet.

Red and Green Items

Since it is getting close to Christmas, I thought having a place where you can post your red and green items would be a good idea. It doesn't matter how much red or green you have in the item. You can post as many items as you want. This will help you get more exposure and hopefully, more sales.

Brown, red, orange, yellow


Post any item that has a brown, red, orange or yellow color.  These colors are usually associated with the fall.  Since it won't be long before the fall season is upon us, I thought  there should be a place where people can post their fall items.

Ready for Fall

Post your items here that has something to do with Fall such as color, theme, design, etc.

What is posted on my blog, I will post on facebook, twitter, pinterest, wanelo and svpply.

I hope a lot of people take advantage of this and gets some sales.


Shop update

I have been working on my artfire shop and on my supadupa shop as well.

My artfire shop has a lot of new candles. I have been working on the captions, descriptions, pictures, etc. I think I have improved on some of them, but have a lot more to do.

I have also been promoting my artfire shop on facebook, svpply, wanelo, pinterest and twitter. I have gotten a lot more views since I have been doing this. I am hoping these views will lead to a sale. I am also working on more items to add to my artfire shop. I have a few things in the works and have been trying to get them down to where I like them and they pass the test. Instead of candles though, these will be items I have sewn.

On my supadupa shop, I have added some new items a few weeks ago and have been working on trying to get more added. I just want to change the descriptions on these items so they are not close to the descriptions on my artfire shop. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. There are a lot of same items on both shop. I haven't really promoted my supadupa shop yet. There are a lot more items I want to add.

I am thinking of adding some clearance items or items that I experimented with on my supadupa shop.

I am hoping working on both shops will improve my sales.

I hope everyone supports handmade items. Good luck on your sales everyone.

New candles listed

Since the last time I posted anything, I have listed some new candles at my shop. I have listed some lavender rose scented candles.   This candle has a strong lavender and rose scent.  Very nice, sweet and relaxing. 




 I have added some lemon citronella eucalyptus scented candles.   The citronella and eucalyptus are known bug repellents. 















I have even added a variety of tarts/melts.  These are very highly scented also.

 These tarts/melts are lilac and carnation scented.  They are very strong, sassy and sweet.  Your house will fill with these great scents.












If you don't like flowery scented tarts/melts, what about peanut butter?
These peanut butter tarts are very strong.  They smell just like when you first open a jar of peanut butter.  The color is a tan/light tan color.  Now you can have all the peanut butter you want without the calories.
















I even have peppermint scented tarts/melts.  This is a very unique scent.  It is a nice refreshing scent also.


I also have whipped topping candles.    The top of these candles have whipped wax with a cinnamon scent.  The bottom part of the candle is a nice yellow with a strong lemon scent.  Almost like fresh backed lemon cupcakes.

















Check out some of the other new items in my artfire shop.  You won't be disappointed.
