Two Blogs Dahlberg

Evidently I'm not a natural-born blogger, as I don't blog very consistently. Or is THAT the natural state of blogging? Anyway, just in case you haven't met my jewelry blog, here it is:

Now, not only am I Two Sheds Dahlberg, I am also Two Blogs Dahlberg. And if that doesn't make any sense to you, then watch this:

Thanks for playing along! No promises for next year, other than I will continue to post as I'm able. Who knows, there might some bigger projects in the pipeline...

Forty-Five

Nck-pearlandwing

I put these three things together, and then I couldn't take them apart. So they became a pendant.

Available on Etsy.

Who knew red and grey worked so well together? Not my usual colors, but I sure like this one.

Forty-Two and Forty-Three

It's almost nearing the point where I see if I've completed 52 new pieces this year. I'm pretty sure that's a yes, but I'm not making any declarations yet. Until then, please enjoy these next two, both of which recently sold!

Thirty-Nine, Forty, Forty-One

Time for another roundup of pieces. I managed to crank out a bunch of fun stuff before the show in September, but photographing all of it is another matter. All of them are for sale - click the picture to get to the Etsy listing. Oh, and I'm offering free shipping now through December!

Thirty-Five, Thirty-Six, Thirty-Seven, Thirty-Eight

Two pieces in two new styles. First, a spinoff of the large color collage necklaces. Dramatic pendants, or as I like to call them, drama drops:

Nck-dramadropgry
This one I had listed on Etsy and posted on Facebook, but somehow did not make the blog. Hello, blog.

  Nck-bigblue
This one is being worn by a new display piece - a miniature dressmaker's doll. So no, it's not quite THAT huge.

I'm please to report that both of these sold at the recent Luna Park Chalk Art Festival.

And here's a new style of hoop that I quite like. Shown here with two different kinds of glass beads:

Ear-twhoopblk1
Available on Etsy here.

Ear-twhoopuni1

Pieces Thirty through Thirty-Four

Time for a little catch up here. I've launched a new line of pendants with the help of my mom and talented photographer Linda Dahlberg. She spends a lot of time in her garden watching, shooting, and identifying the various flying things that flit about. The more I looked at the pics, the more I thought they'd be fabulous as a little gem on a chain. Click on the caption to view and/or purchase on Etsy.

Bug-orangebombus
Bombus vosnesenskii on a California poppy

Bug-grayanthidium
anthidium manicatum on a wooly lamb's ear

Bug-pinkbeetle2
spotted cucumber beetle on a society garlic

Bug-fritillary
Gulf fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) on a Verbena bonariensis

I've also created a new shop section for my color collage necklaces. There are enough of them now to warrant their own place. I still have a couple to upload, but here is the latest:

Nck-raspberrysorbet
raspberry and peach color collage necklace

Piece Twenty-Nine

Piece-A-Week has been on hold due to a bad case of too-much-on-my-plate-itis. At this point, I will continue to post my creative endeavors but with no promise of regularity. However, If we're all lucky, we'll still get 52 posts by the end of the year!

I've also been playing with the photography of said pieces in the hopes of drawing more attention on Etsy. That takes more time than I'd like it to, quite frankly, but it's all in the service of getting the work out there. Right? Here we go:

Brc-opticwrappedlink-draped

Blue optic glass with wrapped sterling links. More pics and listing for sale over on Etsy.
