are you a fan?

i am not really into facebook like a lot of people: i feel funny posting my eating habits to my friends-on line or i.r.l....i dont want anyone's opinion on my outfits...and i'm not really into television (that i care to speak out loud about)or movies. so, i'm there...on facebook...but, i only participate when forced, er, poked. today i unabashedly opened a business page, which used to be called a 'fan' page, i think. i figure i work a lot on a bunch of different projects all at the same time, and maybe somebody might be interested...or 'like' it, i mean. so i spent the last five days figuring out a design for my main page, and then how to load it in 'fbml' (really?), and that was a trick, mind you! then how to install my two etsy shops on separate clickable pages, which was also interesting! it's done now, so please go to

lynda andrews-barry designs...take a look...write on my wall...search herban elements or my enamel jewelry shop...and give it the thumbs up if you are so inclined!

blue birds in flight

just sold and relisted, these blue birds are flying to australia!

morning glorious

my morning glory flower necklace was featured in this wintry wedding treasury by fellow etsy-an normamaecreations: icy hot!

victorian halloween

thank you, lucy and ethel for the inclusion of my blood red garnet and crape myrtle ring in their fantastic and timely victorian halloween treasury on etsy.

dawanda

in addition to my herban elements and design options etsy shop, i have a european virtual store via dawanda, high contrast it is called. i dont pay as much attention to this venue as i should, but i did sell something today: these great bird on a wire earrings in natural copper...

poppy stems

a  customer commissioned me to design a poppy ring-she meant with the stem! the fuzzy texture of the poppy stem did transfer over into the sterling silver and the lost wax casting came out beautifully! i finished one end with a ball of sterling wire and tipped the other with a single silver oak bud from my old tree (r.i.p.).

cool copper cone necklace

go for baroque in the copper cone choker! i just relisted this gorgeous choker necklace after letting the listing lapse for a while...a more decadent version was sold at the renwick gallery shop a minute ago.

fleur de lis

 i found these 3-d metal stampings of a fleur de lis in new york city. i enameled it in turquoise with a lime stripe...love the fleur de lis...my top seller.

poppies are mind blowing

i love poppies! so i made this ring out of a seed head. i lost wax cast it sterling and set it on a band cast from a lily branch. mind blowing.
