Favorite Halloween Earrings
Saturday October 11, 2008

I keep these tucked away to be brought out each year the week of Halloween, my favorite Halloween
Spider Earrings. Needless to say, I always get a compliment when I wear them!
Even though they are a little on the kooky side, they are very comfortable to wear around work all day, which isn't always the case when you create holiday type jewelry.
There are still a few more weeks left before the big day is here, so there's plenty of time to make some of your own!
Jewelry WWW Links

It's been awhile since I did one of my jewelry web link posts, so here goes:
JewelryInTheNet has a jewelry design competition going on. The categories include amateur and professional. The design competition begins October 15th 2008, and all entries must be submitted by November 29th, 2008. Voting will begin on November 30th, 2008. The last day to vote is on December 31st, 2008.
The Bejeweled Software Company has announced the release of Jewelry Designer Manager Deluxe 4.11. This updated software now includes, among other things, new pricing options; labor tracking; sales of parts; and PDF reports.
Beaducation is known for its great on-line classes, but you may not know that they also over a number of interesting jewelry making supplies such as custom signature stamps.
If you are looking for a kiln you can take on the road or fit into a tiny spot in your work area, then check out PMC Supply's 15lb. Lilly Kiln. It even has handles on both sides, so you can easily pick it up.
DIY City Mag has its October 2008 issues out, and fittingly it covers the city of Washington DC.
MyCraftivity is spotlighting Margot Potter's very cool Crystal Web Collar Necklace project. It combines elegance and spookiness all together, amazing!
Another free jewelry project can be found over at Beading Daily, Netted Diamonds. But, you better hurry because it's available for a limited time.
