Glass Boudica Celtic Sea Necklace by LittleStudioJewels


This necklace by LittleStudioJewels is inspired by the Celtic seas, and is done in shades of blue, silver and crystal, fitting the January challenge color scheme well.

I am Team EFA's Yahoo Groups Moderator. Each month I donate 10% of the total sales (not just profits), before taxes and shipping to a different animal charity. This month's charity is Polar Bears International.

Teal Skies Silver Ring by Littlestudiojewels' Shop


This is sweet, yet sort of Steam Punk all at the same time. It's great for the office, or a sexy night out! I used sterling silver wire to make a comfortable shank, adding a teal Swarovski crystal to the center. I then coiled more sterling silver wire around the base wire and added 2 clear Swarovski crystals to the outside of the teal bead, coiling the remainder of the wire on the sides. The result is a coiled ring that is pretty, yet different. You could keep it shiny, or allow it to patina and darken naturally, giving it a worn look for a more "Steam Punk" style.
This is about a size 6-1/2, but I can make it in another size if you need it. I can even make it with different beads, or in copper or 14karat gold-filled wire, convo me before purchasing for details.
10% of the total sales before tax and shipping goes towards my Charity of the Month

Celtic Style Sterling Silver, Swarovski Crystal and Czech Firepolish Heart Earrings by LittleStudioJewels


I made these Celtic inspired sterling silver hearts and then had them suspend real Swarovski crystals in "Crystal", and Czech fire polish glass beads in "Raspberry". Silver plate jump rings suspend each section. Sterling silver ear wires are used to prevent allergic reactions. I am able to create these in copper, 14karat gold and other stones and beads, just convo me before you order (price may vary depending on metals and beads used, but I will let you know in advance). Approximately 2" long.


It fits the theme of "Love is in the Air" by swinging from your ears, sparkling gently in any light, these are perfect for any time of year, but especially now!


Every month I give 10% of the total sales before taxes and shipping to help animal charities, such as the Country Cat Sanctuary, Lanark Animal Welfare Society, and others. Thanks for your time and thanks for looking!

Animal and Nature Photo Cards Set of 4 with Envelopes by LittleStudioJewels


It fits the theme of peaceful animals/nature, loving nature and animals, being grateful that they are in my life, and wanting to share that with the rest of the world (plus 10% of the sale goes to a worthy charity-of-the-month!). http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=150364782.

I have always felt more at ease with animals than people, and they have always seemed more at ease with me than other people also! For this reason, although I can't afford to keep millions of shelter animals (though I'd love to, trust me!), each month I donate 10% of my total sales before taxes and shipping to a different worthy charity, such as the World Wildlife Fund of Canada, Rescue 100 (for horses), Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary (for the wild paws), The Country Cat Sanctuary, etc., as much as possible.

I am also now learning to crochet tiny animals, called amigurumi, to make into cat toys that I can donate to a local cat sanctuary for their cats, and as a potential fundraiser for them to sell to visitors and new (cat) adoptive parents.
