Aquashella Handcrafted Jewelry is....

Gearing up for a lot of Craft Fairs in the coming months!  

I have announced on my  ETSY site (www.aquashella.etsy.com) that I am listing pictures of most of my One Of  A Kind jewelry pieces here on my BLOG for you to see and find what you'd like to purchase or have me make for you.  

I am doing this because my jewelry has been !selling out! at craft fairs and shows and I cannot afford (timewise) to keep it listed on ETSY to then take it off each weekend for a show, so, Take a look here, find something that you would like to purchase and email me at aquashella@earthlink.net and I will then post the items(s) on my ETSY site for you to purchase there.  I have already taken orders and I am making special order pieces and I am loving it!

If you have any questions regarding shipping, packaging (you'll receive each piece beautifully wrapped ready for gift giving, or as a treat to yourself!) please look at my ETSY site and it is all there under policies.

Thank you and Have fun browsing thru Aquashella Jewlery,

Jane

Aquashella- Handcrafed Jewelry. New Designs!!! I am so excited!!!

I can hardly wait to post them!  I do not have much on my ETSY site right now because of moving and also I have so many shows coming up that I have to make enough supply.  I thought I'd put a lot of my stock up on this blog-website instead of listing it on ETSY.  That way, if any of you would like something I will make it for you on request, just email me and we'll work it out.  I do this for a lot of people so please, feel free to contact me.  It's never a bother and I am never too busy to make something when a piece of jewelry "finds you".  

I love to make things in my new little studio.  Lately I have been listening to the Beatles; Abby Road, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and another greatest hits type album put out by The Beatles..  I kind of go on jags of music listening when I am in "the zone"  I guess it's mostly by circumstance because rather than change the CD I will just push the Play button again and repeat whatever is in.  I have gone thru Neil Diamond and Martin Zellar who is lead singer for the defunct Gear Daddies- Sad sigh.... go on, Google em!  Gear Daddies.  You can't not like them!!  Especially the song "I want to drive the Zamboni"  Yeah, no, the Zamboni is the truck that resurfaces the ice skating rink.  My spellcheck keeps highlighting Zamboni?  Ughh...  So if you though driving the Zamboni was something  dirty your out of luck...  

Here are a bunch of new designs I have been making.  Please leave comments!  I appreciate your input.

Here They are!

quick pics of my life...

My hubby, my boys, my girl, my nieces and nephew...  and a pile of mango's I need to peel and make jam with...  Why are the mango's with family pics?  I don't know, but I am going with it!

New Jewelry!

These three are just a few of what's to come.  I am really loving making the "double" strand necklaces.  Although they are time consuming to make because I wire-wrap each stone and connect them individually.  They are incredibly strong and the chain I use is also soldered links so that adds to the strength.  

Ringo Starr is singing Octopus's Garden in my head each time I start one of the fab Octo-necklaces.  I love these guys and was glad when I could find the guys in brass with Sterling silver plate.  What a great combo!

The 3rd is a vintage inspired necklace with lava stone, brass wire and a classy brass pendant.

I have so much to put on ETSY but I am having a tough time mustering up the patience to wait for the pics to upload!!!  If they upload at all!  It can take up to 15 minutes just to post ONE piece of jewelry!  If anyone alse has any advice on how to make it go quicker please email me!!  Aquashella@earthlink.net

I have tried making the pics square b4 uploading...  Sometimes its quick, sometimes its like turtle slow..I am talking a one-legged turtle.a one legged SEA-turtle..On LAND!  

Plane Identification

Since I have disclosed that I live directly under the "shallow end" of the flight path of Honolulu International Airport AND that I can identify say a C-5 just by the earthquake rumble and insane noise it creates.  I decided to post video of said flights.

I pride myself ( in my head and own little world) that I can tell the difference between an old 

DC-8 and a 747.  Aloha air had the noisiest high pitched squeal to them.  Sorry they went out of business and all but sheesh, I don't miss that noise!

JAL 747's fly so low overhead that they create wind turbulence that turn into mini-tornadoes that sometimes rip 12 ft palm fronds from the coconut palms here!  "Look out kids!"

Here are a few video (yes, I am that geek that takes video of them!)

Once, a United flight was coming in really low.  I mean strangely low.  I watched it coming well, basically right towards me as I stood in my yard... when all of the sudden it pulled up and started lifting up  dramatically back on course...  "What the heck?  You fall asleep up there?"  I though he was going to let er down right in the lagoon!

Now promise me that for the C-5 super duper huge plane you will have your volume (go ahead and turn it up now) on full volume...its no joke.  This IS how loud it is.  If you'd really like to re-create the scenario just grab the sides of your desk or wherever you have your computer set up and rumble it like a subtle earthquake for say 45 seconds...

The fighter jets are pretty cool too...  

I really need a life...
