More Viking Knit!

I decided on a necklace for this weave and went for an asymmetrical look, using hand made lampwork by Jeanne and fancy copper beads. The chain was also hand crafted with a lobster claw closure. Patina was added; the necklace was tumbled and voila! Hope you like it! I am still in the beginning stages of discovering the versitility of the viking knit weave. Creating jewelry is always an adventure!

CREATING FOR THE LITTLE DIVA!

Hi, everyone. I have some new things to show today! I have added three necklaces to my "Little Diva" line for the little ones in our lives. All were created with seed beads and a simple focal. Two were embellished with lampwork beads, created by my friend Jeanne. The third piece was embellished with pink and white floral porcelain beads.

MARKETING YOUR WEB SITE

I recently posted a question to http://askszarka.blogspot.com/ regarding ways to drive traffic to my new jewelry site at ajhearn.artfire.com. I did not want to attract unwanted spam, so asked for their feedback on how to accomplish this in a cost effective way. Robin Hawke, who does freelance PR and Marketing, shared the Jewelry Marketing information she learned at the Tucson Gem Show. Robyn's feedback was informative and practical, especially for the budget-minded entrepreneur. And, it does not simply apply to jewelry marketing. Go to Szarka's blogspot listed above.
