Our Featured Member for February 1-14, 2011 is Alma Olivera

WELCOME TO OUR FEATURED

MEMBER, ALMA OLIVERA,

OF MUY CHIC JEWELRY

Here are some of Alma's beautiful creations!

Wow!  Let's start off with the picture

that should have been on the Main Page!

And, this one had to go next because I love it!

Gorgeous!

So cool, and you can see her new

"Muy Chic" tags near the clasp!

Another elegant bracelet!

OK - now I am getting confused, it

seems I must love all her designs.

Love the chain, with the beaded

loop- and she has some of my favorite

stones in this one!!

Great Earrings!

Love this!

My kind and of course, my favorite color,

of "sparkle and bling!"

Yummy - this reminds me of one of those

butterscotch candies (the focal bead)

or am I just getting hungry??

Truly, Alma's designs are pieces of 'art'

and we should be so lucky to win Lotto

so we could buy them ALL!

THANKS TO ALMA FOR ALLOWING US TO SHOW OFF

HER GORGEOUS JEWELRY DESIGNS!

WELCOME TO OUR FEATURED MEMBER

FOR SEPTEMBER 1-15, 2010

BARBARA CROMER

HERE ARE SOME OF BARBARA'S

FABULOUS DESIGNS

What a very unique and sophisticated necklace!

Chic black and silver earrings!

Lovely venetian lampwork beads and pearl earrings.

Demin blue porcelain earrings.  Really like Barbara's unique ear wires!

Turquoise and silver necklace - how cool is this??

Black onyx and matt silver square earrings, simple but elegant!

OK - I am in love!  Turquoise and silver, my favorite mixture!

Exquisite silver necklace - OMG - where's my credit card?

I am honestly running out of adjectives for these fabulous designs!

And, I am assuming these are the earrings to go with the

necklace above.

Well, all I can say is that I am in love with all these designs.  And I am sure my husband has locked up the credit cards and CASH!

Barbara has her own unique style, and it is classy, chic, elegant and sophisticated.  It is the work of a professional artisan/jewelry designer, and definitely draws the line between professional artisan and hobbyist.

Thank you, Barbara, for allowing us to feature you on our AJD Blog.  For me it was pure ecstacy!

Julie, since you have trouble promoting yourself, how about letting me do it for you?

 

Here are some of the fabulous creations you will find at Creations With Heart!

 

The earrings to match the pendant on the Main Page of AJD Ltd.

I love lampworked beads and Julie has certainly done a wonderful job

with this particular design.

And, of course, these earrings remind us that she is active in helping out

pet shelters and, she has a dog too!  These are adorable!

A very pretty bracelet as a reminder of our furry little friends that love

us unconditionally.

This gorgeous Carnelian bracelet is one of my favorites designs by Julie.

Lovely carnelian earrings!

A unique silver wire design is used to attach this amethtyst focal

bead to the necklace.  Very eye-catching!

Love this leather cuff bracelet with sterling silver cross.

Looks like Julie and I share a love for turquoise~this is

a fabulous use of turquoise and sterling silver to

create this necklace.

Another leather cuff bracelet with sterling silver and

turquoise accents - gorgeous.

I am so glad Julie included these earrings to be shown!

I had seen them on her page and loved them!

Announcing a New Feature on our AJD/Ltd. Blog to Start February 1, 2010

Dear Members,

Beginning on February 1, 2010 - February 5, we will begin a new section on this blog where we nominate artisans from different areas to be chosen as our "Featured Guest Artisan" for the second half of Feburary (15th-28th).  This person will be featured differently than our Main Page Featured Member, as they will not belong to our blog, or to our social networking page.  In fact, being someone new to us will give us an opportunity to help promote their work and make some new friends. 

If you wish to nominate someone to be featured, please add a comment to this post, with the person's name, their website and/or blog, and please confirm with them that they would like to participate. 

At the end of the day Februrary 5th (6:00 p.m. CDST), I will announce the person who either was nominated the most times, or who I think will have something great to contribute to our Blog.  So, check out your non-member friends who are creative, that you admire and would like to share their work with us.  I will check with the person who nominated them to make sure that the nominee will know who I am and what this is about and if they are interested, they will appear on our AJD/Ltd. blog  as a "Featured Guest Artisan". 

Now don't let me down.  I am trying to get some things going on here and we can only be as good as our members!  And we have outstanding members.    We will still also have our Main Page
Featured Member on here every two weeks.  The "Featured Guest Member" will appear once a month.  So, if your choice doesn't make it the first time around, be sure to nominate them again with the reason why you think they deserve the recognition -- and it can just be that you are their best friend and know how wonderful their work is!  Or just tell me to check it out for myself!
Let's not make it too complicated. 

HOPE YOU WILL PARTICIPATE. 
Sharon Hightower
