Shop of the Week Lehane

I love creating jewelry! Years ago beads jumped out at me and yanked me into a fascinating world of color, shape, size, and incredible variety. I dream of making new jewelry designs -- knowing they will bring someone a unique connection with art, beauty, and perhaps earth's energies. I also love the old chainmaille traditions of linking rings to create beautiful ancient patterns, some with modern variations and colors. As my chainmaille and other creations expanded my shop here became crowded and so now there are two shops!
Lehane.etsy.com -- for chainmailleLehaneArts.etsy.com -- for all other jewelry styles
Symbolism, color, shape, size, and material are all elements involved in each of my creations. I think of my jewelry creations as connections between the day-to-day world and the supernatural world just beyond our view, a world of beauty, eternity, and positive energies.
My goal is to create unique wearable art with a touch of that special bold attitude which lives somewhere between elegance and playfulness.
Above is how Lehane introduces her shop.

Now what I want to know is which mood are you in?

Elegant?

Or playful?

Pinterest Hide and Seek


Pinterest is a wonderful place to lose track of time for hours. So many of us spend time doing just that. We at Group2020 have several boards perfect for browsing. The most active two are our Deals of the Week board and our Showcase board. Both is these boards have new items added all the time and would be great if you are starting to think about holiday gift shopping.
If you have to keep some of your gift ideas sorted and secret Pinterest can help with that too. Lehane's blog post talks about the private board feature that is available to us all. 

What purpose does Pinterest serve for you? Hiding, seeking or both?

LehaneArts - Nautical Earrings

Recently our G2020 member Lehane released an exciting new earring design based on her seafaring family ancestry!

They are absolutely stunning and would not only make a great gift for anyone with a background or interest in boating but would also be a lovely pair of earrings to be worn throughout the Christmas season due to their red and green coloring ... either way these are definitely a conversation starter!

Lehane Arts, Shop of the Week

We believe jewelry should look gorgeous and convey an attitude. I like to create with crystals, gems, dichroic glass, metal and other materials.
The dichroic glass section of Lehane Arts is probably my favorite. To me it shows exactly what the artist in this shop means by looking gorgeous and conveying an attitude. I encourage you to browse the shop Lehane Arts on Etsy to find your own favorites.

A couple of my own favorites are below.


I also want you to know about a new board on Pinterest that Lehane and other Group2020 members are posting to. It is called Deals of the Week. As of this post and until the 2nd of August Lehane Arts has some specials waiting for you. Check the board often for exciting new offers each week!

Here is a peak at what that board has waiting for you today.

It All Starts with a Ring

From the title you may think I mean weddings but today is something different. 

In an informative blog post on Lehane Arts you can learn about jumprings. She includes information on how they are made, materials and more.



These jumprings are the basic pieces that are the used in the art form of chainmaille and in her shop, Lehane on Etsy, she does a wonderful job of putting these basic little rings into beautiful designs incorporating color and form. 

Take a moment to check out the blog post and her shop. If you have any questions or comments I am sure she would love to hear from you!

Lehane is also the founder of Group2020 which is a select group of artisans with many skills and shops on websites and multiple venues.

Weekly Features Wednesday

Each week our Group2020 members list four items to be shared and promoted by all the other members. As the author here every Wednesday I pick one of those four from each of them to share. 

This week six of us are sharing so that is what I am showing off to you today. Get ready cause here we go!


Lehane Arts on Etsy
This Celtic inspired necklace is a double strand of light blue beads, crystals, gemstones, and Celtic symbols. The strands are set up in an asymmetrical design. Tiny seed beads both round and triangular are a beautiful shade of blue.
The necklace is ornamented with bicone crystals, Celtic knot beads, and round jasper gemstones. 
Celtic knot beads, bead caps, toggle clasp are antiqued silver plated pewter (lead and nickel free). The asymmetrical design is whimsical and carefree. 
Blue is a calming color with spiritual meaning. The endless knots on the Celtic diamonds are ancient symbols representing the flowing of time and they remind us that all existence is bound by time and change, yet ultimately rests serenely within the divine and the eternal.

BountifulSoap.com by Lanmom Originals
Super gentle strawberry soap to pamper your skin! The natural strawberry puree makes this pure olive oil soap delicious in your shower and the seeds give a dash of gentle exfoliation. This is an almost unscented bar, with just the light scent of the strawberries. 
Contains olive oil, water, sodium hydroxide, strawberries, almond milk, madder.

 SilverRiverJewelry.com
Lemon Yellow Handmade Glass and Silver Earrings
Lemon yellow handmade lampwork glass and silver earrings.
Handmade yellow disc lampwork glass beads that are actually striped opaque and transparent lemon yellow. I chose to pair these lampwork glass beads with yellow Swarovski crystals and silver plated findings.
Bright, cheerful and happy earrings!

Cozy on Zibbet
Comfortable, adjustable, headband with ties made from black fabric with green crocheted trim and ties, accented with red, orange, pink and green.
Use this 20 inch by 2 inch headband to keep your hair tamed with a bit of style. The 10 inch ties will give you a perfect fit every time.

Last but never the least of us, our shop of the week
Pickle Valentine on Etsy

Cinnamon Brown and Milk Glass Large Givre Opaline Glass Knot Beads

Six large vintage West German opalescent glass beads with cinnamon mocha givre, an opalescent translucent light pinkish brown. I don't know how else to describe this color! These are some of my favorite beads. They are beautiful, they go with hard to match beads, and they are great with purples, soft browns, pinks, blues and topaz. The beads are molded in the shape of a long knot. They are large, measuring 15mm x 12mm. They are very opalescent, and the givre is encased in the milky opalescent glass. 
My photos show how these look in two different lights. 
Thank you for shopping with us and Happy Beading!

To all our readers, thanks for giving us a look, shop and share, come back anytime with comments or questions. We would love to hear from you.

Wonderful Wednesday

This beautiful teal and black Celtic Necklace is an asymmetrical double-strand design. The Celtic necklace uses tiny teal and black round and triangular seed beads. These shapes create differing reflections of light and draw attention to the necklace.The asymmetrical strands include gold Celtic knot beads, emerald crystals, and kambaba jasper gemstones. This free-spirited teal green and black necklace has everything! 

Ten translucent vintage emerald green molded leaf beads. These shimmer in the light and have great molded detail. They are 15mm long, 13mm wide and 5mm deep. The back is flat, but because the glass is transparent, the fronts show through. I believe these were made in the 1920s-1930s. These beads were molded and like many of the old Czecho-Deco beads produced for the flapper era, they are not totally matching. 

This five piece copper bracelet set includes five medium weight knotted copper bracelets crafted by hand from raw copper wire with the ends secured in a long wire wrapped knot as an point of interest in the design.
These stacking bracelets were then tumbled to harden the metal and to produce a shiny luster and were finished with a superior grade metal polish to make them really shine.
This bangle set is light weight and sturdy, suitable for every day wear and creates a delicate jingling sound as they move on the wrist.

This dish cloth has been knit by me with a textured stitch for scrubbing ability while the cotton yarn is gentle enough to use on even your most delicate dishes and glassware.
This long lasting white cotton knit dishcloth is just waiting for you to put it to work. 

A pretty lentil pair with an organic ivory base and  a silvered ivory strip. 
 Accented with purple dots.  
Very organic and earthy.

Beautiful handmade bead crochet necklace! This lovely beaded rope is made with a mix that includes thousands of Czecho and Japanese glass seed beads in cream, coral, brick red and black. The dramatic graduated diamonds snaking along the cream rope are complemented by the solid copper end caps and toggle closure. The necklace is 5/16" in diameter and 19 1/2" from end to end, which gives a wear length of about 19". 
As with virtually everything I make, this pattern is my own creation and is lovingly crafted in a non-smoking and non-pet home. See my other listings soon for the coordinating earrings and bracelet. Please note that I can also make a necklace, bracelet or earrings from almost all my patterns!

The pictures are links. Check them and the shops out. Leave comments, pins and tweets are loved and appreciated. 
Most of all go shopping. We'll be here with more next week.

Shop Of The Week Lehane


This week our featured shop for Group2020 is Lehane Arts. This shop is newly opened but the pieces for sale are from an experienced jewelry designer whose work is full of color and light.

In words from the shop profile she introduces her work to you below.
I love creating jewelry! Years ago beads jumped out at me and yanked me into a fascinating world of color, shape, size, and incredible variety. I make jewelry knowing it will bring someone a unique connection with art, beauty, perhaps earth's energies or ancient traditions via old chainmaille patterns of linking rings to create beautiful patterns, some with modern variations and colors.

Symbolism, color, shape, size, and material are all elements involved in each of my creations. I think of beads and my jewelry creations as connections between the day-to-day world and the supernatural world just beyond our view, a world of beauty and eternity. Certain gemstones may exude positive energies and colors also can influence our awareness. Color informs mood.

My goal is to bring materials from around the world to create unique wearable art with a touch of that special bold attitude which lives somewhere between elegance and playfulness.

A bit of Florida sunshine is part of all my creations.
A small sample to show you how these ideas become creations. The pictures will be linked so you can claim a special piece for yourself.



If you find these styles pleasing to you, tweet, pin or comment to let Lehane know.
