New Booth Display Set Up!

Just wanted to share my new booth set up. The lighting was not all that great, it was inside of a Fire Department! I'll have to get some better photos @ my next outdoor show.

Delightful Origami Rose and Butterfly beaded garland

Finally! I can share this lovely garland with you. Kudos to bead artists as this beaded garland literally took me hours to add simple beads let alone the folding time that went into it. My brother makes gorgeous beaded jewelry and gifts. I've always admired his talent, now I have found a greater appreciation for the patience he has in the art of bead work! I'll have to share a few of his pieces with you (in the near future).

My Origami Butterfly has been Treasured!

Fantastic by Hibbe

 

Not only do I love the fact that my origami butterfly ornament has been treasured, but I love the incredibly soothing color pallet and the other beautiful creations included in this treasury. Delightful!

Fell in love... Had to Buy!

I've been eying these lovely Bohemian gypsy sandals for a few days now! Today, I gave in to temptation and they are MINE! Don't worry, they weren't the last pair, you can get your own crochet gypsy sandals in this great shop if you fall in love with them as well.  Check out Maggadora on Etsy!

Little Miss Elsie Modeling Origami Rose Barrettes

Two barrettes create this look.

Origami Rose Barrettes / Clips 1.5"

What's New?!

Roses and garlands, not to mention rose garlands (of the origami sort).

I'm excited to have several new garlands available, soon to be listed on Etsy. They are just stunning. Hand beaded wire so they are formable, with origami butterflies, roses and leaves that swivel so they always face the direction you like.

I'll post photos here 1st!

AND... my darling daughter and I thought origami rose hair clips would be just about the sweetest things. So, I'm making her a pair right now. Don't worry, you'll be able to take a peek at them soon!

Nearly one year on Etsy!

CMCCreations - Origami Jewelry and Asian Inspired Gifts - started up on Etsy early August, 2010. How quickly a year has gone by, time well spent. I've learned so much, made many changes, enjoyed preparing my creations for their long trips, many within the United States, and some (much to my exhilaration) to other countries! I've enjoyed the stories behind the purchases, when they were given, and relished the positive feedback.

Thank you to my wonderful customers who have made this past year possible!

Sincerely,
Christine

P.S. I'm looking forward to making this blog just a little more active in the year to come. :)
