New snowflakes

Filed under: crochet — leisa @ 4:16 pm October 22, 2008

Three more designs. This brings my total to 16 different snowflakes. You know, there’s a lot of labor in getting the blocking and stiffening just so. But I make my own blocking boards with concentric circles, and I take a lot of care in the process. I’m very proud of the results!

In the interest of being redundant, allow me to announce that everything in my Etsy shop is, in fact, on sale for 20% off, now through Friday!

I’m a little slow on this, but WireLily put some of my earrings in her first Etsy Treasury! Here’s her blog post on it. I’m honored! Also, she’s got some really cool stuff, too.

Setting the wheels in motion

I’ve been so busy, and there’s not much to show for it yet. But soon…

My profession is also clean-hands; I’m a graphic artist. I’m working on upgrading my mad web design skillz, and I hope to move this blog to WordPress soon. It’ll look spiffy.

And I’m going to be performing some guerrilla medieval chant at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I haven’t performed there in five years! Look for a hooded Hildegard around the chapel and gardens in October and November.

I’m working on getting the jewelry and snowflakes in a couple of new venues. Fingers crossed!
