Beautiful Bead Shipment has arrived!!

I have been so excited waiting for a shipment of beautiful beads

to arrive - and today they were here!

Since yesterday I got my shipment of gorgeous hand blackened brass from the

lovely ladies of Fallen Angel Brass and today I got the beads,

I can really get to work making pretties for the Grand Opening Sale

to celebrate the opening of Tumblestone's new Etsy shop :)

(Ant the Farmer's Market of Course!)

A peek at what I got yesterday....

I had next to no chain left and out of headpins and jump rings! 

I wont settle for unmatching unless it's meant to be miss matched, 

so when this came yesterday I was SO excited! 

These are my necessities right here!

I love the Fallen Angel patina, it really is unmatched with anything I've 

ever come across. 

And then today.... 

I truly am so impressed with these beads. 

They came from Arte Bella Surplus <~ Her Etsy!

They take my breath away! My photos arent the greatest

but you get the idea!

(Pretty pic heavy!)

The silverclear beads look as if water droplets have been frozen in time!

  And those Carribean blue beads - to die for!

Look at those BIG cherry bon bon faceted beads in the upper right! 

 The beads on the left were a Thank You gift for the order  :)

 LOVE the beads on the top left there! (All of them really...) Those drops are the exact shade of Suicide Creek, a local glacial runoff swimming area.

Oh I am so happy with my order!!

Now I must get to work designing and creating pretties!

I've been on a sewing kick the past week since I was out of my 

Fallen Angel Brass - Here's a little peek at a few of my newer creations...

enjoy!

I'm off to create!

Grand Opening / 800 Fan Celebration Sale!!

 
Wow! I am super excited to find 800 Facebook fans on my Tumblestone Facebook page when I woke up a couple of days ago!  In celebration of this AND the fact that I have just opened Tumblestone's online StorEnvy shop, ALL jewelry, mosaic/mixed media art photo frames & mirrors are 25% off!  (If you purchase off of the actual Tumblestone online store, be sure to use the code DANDYGRANDY at checkout to get the 25% off!)
I already had this post here.... Below the last one! I dont know where it dissapeared to.. So I'm doing a short repost because I like the picture!

  Through my Tumblestone Facebook page, there are quite a few things that you cant find in the StorEnvy shop....
such as previously sold items, custom sewing jobs I have made for customers and MANY pillows ....
I make goofy ones, such as big moustache shaped to trendy and beautiful upcycled cable knit sweater pillows!
  I dont have them up for sale on StorEnvy, because I really am not sure about shipping charges yet. However, after seeing them, if you MUST have one (they are top sellers for me!), I will find out what the shipping charge would be for you and we can work something out that way!
I have shipped them before. Unfortunately Canada doesnt have flat rate like the US, so its not as easy to guesstimate shipping charges, especially for such an item such as pillows and stuffed animals and monsters!

  I am always up for custom orders as well, if there is something you want, or have in mind but you dont see it anywhere within the Tumblestone universe - just ask!!
I have made countless custom items and get custom orders all the time.
I love the strange requests I get.... it's fun! I'm so easygoing, I'm open to make anything that you have in mind if it is possible to make in my skill set!!

  So go check out that awesome Facebook page o' mine! There's also a link on the right upper side of the blog as well! Also - do you have a Facebook fan page for your business? Leave it here in the comments and I will go "like" yours in return!

Cheers!

2 new necklaces handmade by me!

I just wanted to show you the 2 new creations Im about to add to the shop. I'm really excited about these two jewelry pieces! For awhile there, I was making my jewelry highly detailed with so many elements to it  - not that it didnt look good, I love EVERY single one! But this time I decided to create something a little simpler - and I just adore how they turned out! Here is my write up about the necklace above:

 "This lovely necklace features a cluster that includes an inch long cobalt blue glass bead, a vertibrae bone from an unknown source and a round faceted brown bead that shimmers blue in the light which is capped with a blackened brass filigree flower. 
Above, connected by a large brass circle, is a hand blackened brass detailed bee - actually - he more looks like a fly doesnt he?! He is a 3 point connection to the flat cable chain that leads to the lobster clasp closure.

This necklace is one of a kind and will not be making another one the same to guarantee that. 
However if you miss out and REALLY liked it, I will make similar!

All of the brass that I use is guaranteed nickel and lead free and is supplied by Fallen Angel Brass Co in New England, USA.

The second one is just as pretty! I really dont know which one I like better - I love them both so much! Here is my write up for this pretty one:

This cluster necklace holds a blackened brass key, a chunk of genuine turquoise, a lil' shell and a brown faceted glass bead that shimmers blue in the shining light. 
A large brass circle connects the cluster to the flat cable chain where on one side a swallow in flight sits right on the collarbone. 
This piece closes with a lobster clasp.

Arent they purdy? The hardest part for me doing this is having to sell them and then they are gone.... lol, I cant keep them all! But I guess knowing that they are making someone else happy is worth it in the end!

Thanks for looking!!
