Spiritual and Geeky Jewelry

Have I told you lately that I love my Job!?
I may be disabled but I feel pretty freakin good when I can be inspired to create jewelry like you are about to see!
Steam Punk
Spiritual Pendulums
Wire Wrapped Gems
Geekery
Wait until you all see what I am holding back! Can you imagine Needle Felting combined with each of these genres? Oh YES it is coming so soon!
I know these items are going to be scooped up so if you want to be the Geek everyone at work will be jealous of...you better purchase soon, or they will be gone.
These OOAK pieces are from one of a kind gems or from reclaimed watch and clock parts. I cannot make exact duplicates...











The newest items I have listed are Spiritual Gems Wire Wrapped Jewelry and some Geekery Jewelry.
Just when you thought you saw it all....circuit board pendants and earrings.
I have also created some Steam Punk jewelry that I will release tomorrow.
Steam Punk is really cool so I suggest you come back tomorrow to see the Steam Punk creations!
For now I hope you enjoy browsing the newest items in the shop here:

I Am Beta Testing For Etsy-Good Excuse for a Sale!

I am part of the second string of beta testers for the Etsy Rearrange feature.
I can rearrange my shop face items from page to page and other testers can see my changes.
The public at large will be able to see the changes in a few weeks.

I had a coincidental situation occur right at the same time I began my test on Tues. It seems that on July 27th half of my items went stale and when I reopened the shop from Vacation Mode on Monday all my items were still in my shop, and so they were on Tues when I began the test.

I guess on Tuesday I did enough action on my shop interface to have the lists catch up to the stale dates through the data stream and in the middle of my first test I lost half my wares.

I was confused for just over 24 hrs cuz nothing was in the Inactive area where it says to look.
Then at the last minute (just after I sent a trouble ticket to Etsy) I see The Expired category in My Etsy, and I checked it. Low and behold the missing wares were expired and the date they expired was July 27th. So the reopening of the shop and the activation of the beta test must have sinked the date and zip they were all gone.
Sigh... I had to get all those items renewed
It gave me an oportunity to see what happens in the beta test when you relist something.

So seeing I am so lame brained and can't find an expired listing if my life depended on it....I have just removed all the shipping from all of the doilies. Free shipping anywhere!
And just to remind you that the doilies are also a great way to get one of the higher priced needled felted pieces at a great reduction in shipping cost if you incorporated the SNEAKY SALE RULES to your multiple item order.... :-)

Timbers Is Almost Done

(sorry for the blank spots in the lower posts. They are where my Etsy Badges usually are, but because I have set Etsy to vacation mode the pics won't show up....see you in 10days
In the mean time if you want to see what is currantly available can see pics of the items in the shop on my web site at
www.motivatedmotion.com)




A certain someone will be getting this cute replica of their pet in the mail quite soon.
I am done the basic miniature but I will spend a few more hours defining some details on the face and legs, but she is basically done.


So far she has taken 30hrs of needle felting to get her to this point.





I am toying with what to do with her eyes. I have amber eyes and brown eyes and I keep switching them, as I am trying to resemble that liver on liver the best I can.

I am not so bent up about it though as it seems like a minor concern :)












I hope you like her.
She won't be for sale in the shop, but I will use her pic in the shop to represent a commissioned piece option. She is a miniature Tufted Needle Felted piece that is a replica of a real pet.

UPDATE:

I finished Timbers now. I didn't do too much to her, but I did change her eyes a bit and made her neck and main more pronounced which aged her.

New Items Huge Deals!

I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU!
I PROMISE TO HAVE MANY ITEMS WITH FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE, ONLY THE COLLECTIBLE NEEDLE FELTING ITEMS WILL HAVE A SHIPPING COST BECAUSE I SEND THEM WITH INSURANCE AND TRACKING.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS FREE SHIPPING!

DO YOU WANT TO GET YOUR NEEDLE FELTED COLLECTIBLES WITH SHIPPING AS LOW AS $1.00 OR $2.00 INSTEAD OF $14.00? THEN READ BELOW TO SEE HOW YOU CAN GET HUGE SAVINGS BY BEING SNEAKY!

For my SNEAKY SALE I have made some items FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE!
I know this is very non-conventional, but it is really designed for the smart shopper.

I will stand behind what I say the postal costs are for each individual item. And for the smart shopper depending on how they create their multiple order they may get amazing savings on shipping cost for multiple items and they could get a real awesome bonus by getting an insured post item way cheaper than their individual shipping cost. So please think about what your first item is.....If its shipping cost is zero dollars then your second item will only be the cost it is to ship as a second piece(which could be as low as one dollar, which on the miniature collectibles is a huge savings of up to $14.00 on one item!)
(I will always send the items that are to be insured as an insured item because they are collectibles. I will absorb the postal costs when you order in the SNEAKY way!)
I hope I have not been too cryptic about the deals.
Any questions? Please contact me through Etsy conversations before you order if you are confused.

I just added several of my new 2009 scarf collection designs to my Hand Knit section. Have a look at these amazing colours and textures! All the scarfs are FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE ITEMS!
