More Buddhas for Japan!






Just a note to say there are more Buddha designs in my Artfire shop! So far you've helped me raise $36 for Red Cross Japan Tsunami Relief--hooray! I know we can do even better, tho! These super bright designs are inspired by the wacky colors of Japanese anime. I am awaiting the arrival of some more sedate Buddhas for those who prefer a little less color clash. :)

Happy Birthday, Buddha!



According to some Buddhist traditions, today is Buddha's birthday. Why not celebrate--and do something good for Japan? Treat yourself to one of these colorful and kitschy Buddha necklaces and I will donate $6 to Japan Red Cross Tsunami Relief. Please see my Artfire shop for the full collection: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&sc_id=152205&seller_id=39626&op=new This line is inspired by anime cartoon design--plus I just love bright colors. :)
And since this is a new shop, if you want to see more feedback, please check out my Etsy shop--also Bebopgirl1969Jewelry (just click the links on the left). :)

Bountiful Buddhas!



Introducing a line of Buddha necklaces to benefit Japan! $6 of the $12 purchase price from each necklace will be donated to Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal. New necklaces will continue to be added--please check back daily! At the moment I am listing some super bright, super happy color combos which are inspired by anime designs. These are a perfect way to celebrate Spring/Summer's fascination with super bright colors and color blocking! Some more muted color designs will also be listed soon.

I am listing this line at my Artfire shop: http://www.artfire.com/users/Bebopgirl1969Jewelry (or click entry header to go straight to the Buddha section). If you want to see more feedback, please feel free to check my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Bebopgirl1969Jewelry?ref=si_shop

The move to Artfire is gaining momentum...



The move to Artfire is gaining momentum. In fact, I've even fallen a little behind with listings as my Etsy stuff expires! So, please have a look at my new shop:
http://www.artfire.com/users/Bebopgirl1969Jewelry (or click on today's blog title)

But there's still a lot of jewelry left at Etsy, too:

And I haven't moved anything from my Blythe shop yet:

Through Thursday, March 31st, £1 from each item sold will be donated to Red Nose Day:
http://www.rednoseday.com/

And I am designing a new line of Buddha jewelry, which will launch at Artfire and from which I will donate money to Japan. I'm very excited about the items I've made so far!

If you would like to purchase an item from my etsy shop but are concerned about the recent privacy snafu, please see my previous blog post.

New Shop!

Exciting news! I'm slowly moving over my Etsy listings to a brand new Artfire shop: http://www.artfire.com/users/Bebopgirl1969Jewelry

I'm still selling at Etsy, so please feel free to continue shopping there as well. However, as items expire they will be moved to Artfire.

I know that Etsy has been in the news lately, and not for good reasons. I have been slowly growing disenchanted with them for the past few years and have finally just had enough. If you want something at either of my Etsy shops but are worried about the recent privacy concerns, you can message me and I will remove the item from my shop and invoice you privately.

No matter where you choose to shop for my handmade jewelry, I will donate £1 for every item sold to Red Nose Day throughout the month of March. And I am planning a special fundraiser for Japan in April!
