Step By Step Wire Jewelry Summer 2009

I just got my copy of Step By Step Wire Jewelry magazine in the mail today.

It's the Summer 2009 issue...

My friend Gaea has a beautiful necklace on the front cover!

Some of my new porcelain decal pieces are featured in the "Product News" section (page 54) by Sara E. Graham, Assistant Editor.

And I've had some people emailing me about them.

I don't quite have a catalog for the decal pieces - not sure if I really want to start a production line of them like I did with the textured pieces. It becomes a potential burnout situation for me... I'd rather work with you on making something unique and special!

So here is a quick breakdown...

Some images work better on particular shapes and sizes of my pendants.

So this means there is a bit of limitation with what I can make (with what I want to make really... it's got to have a certain look to me or I just can't bring myself to keep making it).

My shapes are the same as my textured pendants.

The pricing is just $2 more per piece due to the additional time to work with the decal and the extra firing...

So if you want to order any of the pieces shown in the picture above from the magazine, you can email me the following "code" to Marsha@MarshaNealStudio.com

Starting with the upper left pendant and going clock-wise:

Wasp Decal Image - D- Pendant = $20 retail

Wasp Decal Image - N - Pendant = $16 retail

Flower Drawing 16 - G - Pendant = $20 retail

Chickadee Drawing - F - Pendant = $12 retail

Tree Drawing - Med Oval - Pendant = $16 retail

The flower image is the only pendant that has an image on the one side only. The image wraps around to the back of the piece. The other 4 have the same image - or another one on the back. If you want the same, you can email me that you want it that way - or I can surprise you with another image that works with it on the back which makes it reversible.

I also have a bunch of my decal pieces in my Etsy shop with wire wrapped bails and a silky ribbon for a necklace for anyone that wants something ready to wear! I'm all about making things simple at times...

Make sure you pick up your copy of Step By Step Wire Jewelry for some great project ideas and inspirations!!! It's a great place to jump start your creative juices!!!

Thanks!
