Shake The Lake ~ My first summer festival ~

Shake The Lake happened in Sylvan Lake. It was a three day festival of various bands and events.

This event was my very first event having a booth. I have to say I really loved it. I plan to go again next summer.

a couple of people ran around in these awsome suits. They were hilarious!

The Shine Fm radio station had a booth right next to mine. It was great to get to know the DJ.

This summer I hope to travel to a few places. Making jewelry has inspired me to do this because of the new ideas and things it has helped me to discover.

I hope to travel to some of the places where precious stones are mined. I think it would be so awsome to find these beautiful items where they are created and use them in my designs. Amethyst, crystal quartz, jasper and many of my other favorites. I have now become a collector. when I find a new stone I love I make a peice of jewelry just for myself! So far I have 2 crystal quartz necklaces and one Amethyst one. I still need to make an Agate one.

I'd also like to go to the ocean and the sea! Finding seashells and sea glass would be so great. Ive learned to wire wrap so they would be added into m jewelry aswell

Morocan/ Indian style necklace. Something new!

I decided to try some thing new. I came up with this design. Its sortos a morocan / indian design. A variety of wooden beads and ceramic beads mixed together . Let me know what you think of it. I really enjoy coming up with new ideas and designs. Sometimes I will look at other jewelry and mix themes and ideas together. Sometimes my jewelry has a story behind it. I really like this design. I think others will aswell!

Peace Keychain

Peace is the answer right. I plan to make more of these keychains. Fun!

Red Deer Online Farmers Market

I have a website / social network called The online farmers market for Red Deer and Central Alberta. Basically it is a social network aimed at bringing vendors and home business to one place where they are easy to find on a year round basis. I really love it. I started it in November and there are about 50 members on it as of now.
When people get to the site they sign up and create a profile. Its free to start a profile and use the site pretty much as if it were their own. People can post blogs, videos, and more. They have access to making groups which they can use to network their business and use to keep track of their customers. The groups they create have a spot on them where they can link their websites etc.
It really seems to be working out. Its growing and people are just learning how to use it.

There is also advertising avalible for 15.00 a month. Advertising is avalible to anyone and they jsut have to contact myself for more information at bfunkii@hotmail.com

Make sure to check it out!
The address to the site is http://onlinefarmersmarket.ning.com/

Stones and gems

Stones & Gems

Finding new gems & stones is one of my passions! They are all so beautiful. I am still learning about them and discovering new types.Over the christmas season I found some great stones that were bagged. Unfortunatly, I don't know the names of all of them but they are perfect to be wirewrapped ( which Im gonna do)

Some of these are Amethyst, Jasper and I'm not sure what the others are.

I love these Corals. I once was going to stop using coral but then I was informed by a shop that alot of corals are farmed and not taken from the coral reifs. Which is great!
