Hello, world!

Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Kristen. I make handmade jewelry and accessories, which is sold on Etsy at www.kcdesignsshop.com. I recently started selling some supplies as well! I work out of my home studio, making attractive, one-of-a-kind jewelry at affordable prices.

Below is one of my recent creations--a lanyard, to hold an id badge. Beautiful, right? It's even prettier in real life.

I usually only make one of a given item. So if you want it, you need to grab it quickly, because most likely that's the only one in existence!

I've been having a desire to try to make copper rings recently. I used coated copper wire to make rings like these:

They're simple rings, and quite comfortable to wear. Once I form them, I hammer them by hand, for a more rustic look. Then, I coat them with a professional wax sealer. These are adjustable, and there are more designs at KC Designs www.kcdesignsshop.com.

You can find more than just rings and lanyards at KC Designs--there are necklaces galore, bracelets, earrings, and a few sets, among other fun things like beaded bookmarkers.

Aside from seeing my jewelry here, I'll be posting coupon codes from time to time. The coupon codes sometimes offer free shipping, or a nice percentage off your purchase. If you don't have an Etsy account, don't want one, but would like to purchase something from me, don't worry! Contact me through this blog, and I can send you an invoice through Paypal and we can do business that way. I ship anywhere in the world! Most of my customers are from the U.S., but I have happy customers from Ireland, the Netherlands, Canada, and elsewhere!

Until next time...
Kristen
