Snow Folks for Beads of Courage

Our Southern Flames Glass Chapter is doing a test for Beads of Courage and has committed to donating about 275 snowmen for the kids in the Atlanta hospitals who will have to stay there over the holidays.

This is my first batch along with some that I've started selling in my Studio Marcy etsy shop as well.  They are cute on necklaces, but also, I like them as holiday tree ornaments as well.

And just for a smile...imagine trying to get that many rounded body beads trying to stand up at once for a photo.  I should have shot a video as they started leaning and then would bump into another...pretty funny- like those domino videos where they all topple creating a chain reaction.  Funny!

See you tomorrow- I hope.  My computer is acting up and going into the shop today.  If you don't see me tomorrow, I'll be back as soon as it's fixed.

Jake the Snow Man and Writing Copy for Your Listings

Meet Jake, Frosty's cousin. Jake is a more athletic version of Frosty. He likes to snow shoe, cross country ski and play hockey. He says those are muscles under that layer of snow. (Harrumph, that's what all the guys say!) Jake is hoping that there will be some sort of outdoor Wii programs on the market soon.

Jake is wearing a hat and a scarf, (sure he knows how to layer) and does not have a carrot nose. Being a vegan, he feels that there are better uses for a carrot.

He is close to an inch tall with a 1/16th vertical hole.

This is a sample of one of my Etsy Shop listings for my sculptural beads. I wanted to show you how a little entertainment may help enhance your beads and what you're trying to convey in them. I think the two little paragraphs help support the goal of presenting a whimsical and amusing snowman. So get a little creative. If you're at a loss for words, go to http://www.dictionary.com. I use it all the time. Not just to check my spelling, but to browse through the thesaurus. Sometimes there's a perfect word out there just waiting for you. And those perfect words may help you sell your perfect piece of art.
