Help us name this MoNsTeR bOx...

Here's recently captured MoNsTer bOx who refuses to tell us it's name...stubborn little bugger. So we must give it a new one and we need your help. Please leave us a comment with your name suggestion(s) ...we welcome any ideas you may have here.

We greatly appreciate your efforts in the endeavor.

UPDATE - As of 8/29/09 we have, via our Facebook and Flickr friends, the following submissions...

• Dorothy's Revenge
• Beetlejuice
• Zebra Crossing
• Wicked West
• Deep Blue Sea
• Mime-in-a-Box
• Wicked
• Ebony & Ivory
  

All very tempting! The hard part will be to pick just one, so tell us what you think. Which one would you pick?

Not your average Siren...

Coming soon to Ametista......

Mermaid MoNsTeR bOx

I finally finished her....I made a few color changes, but here is the final product.

I had made the face a long time ago and just wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, and then I finally created this fantasy mermaid box. Even though this box went through several different transitions before the final product came to be. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as Carrie and I do.

Some Moms bake cookies...we bake skulls!

Kathy and I are gearing up for the Fall season and getting ready for
our biggest (in terms of attendance) show ever...The Age of Chivalry
Ren Fair in Las Vegas, coming this October. More info on that soon!
                                                 


These bone chilling little scalawags are some of the new items we will be
selling at the event. Handcrafted from polymer clay, baked, stained and
embellished for a nice 'bone' effect arrrrrrr. Available as rings AND pendants!

What's that? Can't make it out to Vegas in October? Not to worry...
you can get your skull gear on our shop soon...while supplies last!

Two more items coming soon to Ametista.etsy.com.....

First I just want to announce that we (Carrie and I (Ametista)) got accepted to have a booth at the Renaissance Festival here in Las Vegas starting October 9,10,&11.....Yea!
We're very excited, but more on that later....

So here are two of the items we've been working on and the "Blackthorn Artistic Apothecary Bottle" designed by Carrie is totally finished and should be up for sale this week at ametista.etsy.com.

Then there's the one I've been working on. I haven't come up with a name yet for it, but it's another creation to our MoNsTeR bOx series....LOL...I should have this one completed by the end of the week and it too can be purchased at ametista.etsy.com.

The stars are made with Night Glow clay.

So now that we have this huge event coming up soon...we'll be busy creating....creating...filling orders....creating...well you get it. But will always try to drop a few lines with upcoming items on this blog here and our other blog at www.calkatthejewelryjunkie.blogspot.com.

Be sure to check back!

Bright Blessings!

Key to My Heart in an Etsy Treasury...

Meet the GriM ReaPeR...

GriM ReaPeR MoNsTeR bOx, originally uploaded by ametistagirl.

Coming this week to our shoppe...

...The latest addition to our MoNsTeR bOx collection.

Inspired by Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life, Part Six - Death".

Any good Python fan will readily recognize and immediately appreciate the quote inside...makes us laugh every time we open it!
