This Weeks Featured Artisan is Chainmaille by MBOI
Chainmaille is an ancient art that dates back before the 5th century.  The process involves interweaving rings of various sizes into intricate patterns to create wearable metal art.  In ancient times, chainmaille served the useful purpose of protecting soldiers in battle; but, since there are very few jousting matches happening on modern streets, chainmaille has evolved into wearable art.  ChainmailleByMBOI creates pieces using a variety of metals including Sterling Silver, Copper, Aluminum, Brass, and Bronze.  Almost any pattern that you see can be created from a different metal so if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please don’t hesitate tocontact us and we will be happy to begin a special order for you.

I found this wonderful shop through the Onfire Team.  It is the weekly highlighted shop.  I saw this necklace and just thought it was beautiful.  It has Indonesian flair with pewter beads and blue lapis bead.  It is just lovely.  The artist is from Quebec, Canada and she is so talented.  She sells her work on Artfire and I hope you go see her shop.  I think it will be hard for you not to buy something.  But, please don't let that stop you.  I plan to go back to the shop and look thoroughly through the shop.  I may just have to give in to my desire.  Won't you go look too?  Go look and have fun!

Oh!  This is Mira.  A darling dog she had on her site.  I just had to include it in her write-up.

New Shops


I started 2 new shops!
Bracelets by Helen and Earrings from Helen
You can go to them and bookmark their locations. I decided that my passion is watches but that people are using their cell phones for time telling and not watches as much anymore. So I decided to branch out. I also saw that people were not buying sets like the same watch and earring together so I've decided to split the sets up and make my Watches by Helen a pure watch shop. People just don't buy sets. They buy earrings alone.

I have found one person that loves my stuff and she buys the sets but I make her customized watches, earrings, and watches. She is a treasured customer. I don't know how all this will work but it is an adventure I am willing to try.

My Helen's Light Readings shop is getting readings and I enjoy that shop. My new shops have a small inventory as they are just starting out. I am not stocking them hurredly but at a steady, slow pace. I invite you to check back often.
