My artist feature of the week

I have not been as busy on-line as I should have been lately, but with head colds, and homeschool, and a pending adoption, it's been crazy hectic here.  Plus, for some reason, blogger won't load on either of my computers, so I have to wait and "borrow" my sons when possible, which is not often.

Any way, I was trolling the forum at The Craft Star a few weeks back, and guess who I found????

Alix from The Alchemists Vessel!

I am sure you remember her.  I featured her before when we were both at HandmadeArtists.  She's still there, but now you can also find her at The Craft Star. Let's see what lusciousness she is offering in her shop.

Alix does chainmaille....awesome chainmaille...and these Maiden Fair earrings is just one item out of the many she has created.  Doing an artist feature is difficult with someone like Alix, because it is so hard to choose only a few items to share. lol

With a charm bracelet like this, how can you NOT be ready for summer.  Alix calls this her Star Steam Chainmaille Charm Bracelet, I just call it a must have for your next beach vacation.

The last item I want to share is this lovely bracelet, the Paramour Chainmaille Bracelet.  I chose to share this because I have one in the same style, but in turquoise.  And I LOVE IT!  I get compliments every time I wear it (which is a lot) and with the magnetic clasp, it is so easy to take on and off without help.

So, click on the links, and go visit Alix and welcome her to The Craft Star.

HAF artists feature - vacation with The Alchemist Vessel

The week our artist feature at the Handmade Artists forum is our best bud (and slightly off center) Alix of The Alchemists Vessel.  Alix is a really cool girl, lots of fun, and her sense of humor...well...let's just say it's like mine, how very ironic. hahaha.  And our theme is "vacation" because we all need one.

Can't you just see me wearing this totally awesome Kahlessi Necklace from her Handmade Artists shop, while floating down the Nile on a barge powered by some hunky handsome shirtless young men?  oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Now, if I can't ride a barge, how about jumping on a plane and flying off into the wild blue yonder? I found these amazing plane earrings in her Etsy shop.  The blue beads even make me think of the sky we'll be flying through to get to.....THE BEACH!  And I'm not picky, I'll take any place with sand and surf.  Like this one...

...what an amazing view.  Amanda and Brandon got married on a beach like this one.  I found this beach print in the shop of CTCostaPhotography.   Oh I can just feel the warm sand under my feet while I search for shells, or the soothing rocking of the water as I just float while watching the young men with their tanned skin skimming the waves...oh there I go again. :0)  Hey, I may be old(er) and married, but I'm not dead!!

And then once I get home, I'll hang up this beach plaque that I created myself and have listed in my Handmade Artists shop, so whenever I walk past it, I can remember all those wonderful young men I met on my travels...sailors, pilots, and surfers. hahaha.
