No Stamping on the Dragon Toes

For thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
We just can't emphasize enough, what a bad idea stamping on dragon toes would be. Mostly because our dragon toes are made of glass - and it would get crunchy indeed, pretty fast.
Aren't these just the coolest? The dragon Claws are a little pointier, and the dragon Toes are a little more rounded at the end.

Someone has, however, been stamping on the glass, and we do have some very nice pressed glass with patterns pressed into the glass - when it is still hot and molten. We have these 3 dot phases of the moon (looks more like traffic light to me!) shape, and a wild and funky flame-lke pattern, and these yummy dragonfly coins, and these fun flower starburst beads! They are all collected here on our Carved Glass page.















Lots of fun new glass beads this week - but I also want to show you that if you are determined to go stamping around on something - how about some metal stamps?

We've brought in a new line of stamps from ImpressArt. These are top quality steel stamps, in a nice case with a clear top for easy viewing and the letter that is on the stamp on the side as well - so you know what you have picked up and which way to hold it! We have some fun new fonts, number series as well - and some other fun embellishments.








Wow - so much new good stuff this week! Garnet - if you love this sultry red stone with it's slightly metallic lustre - we have a bunch of it that we scooped in Tucson (we just don't see nice garnet from suppliers up here.) This stone is rich and dark and looks killer with black or gunmetal for a totally kick-butt goth look. Garnet was big in Victorian and Bohemian jewelry too.






 

And - around and back to the glass beads for a moment, if I may - these are another new shape - these are Thorns - more rounded than dagger beads. These are from Preciosa-Ornela and they have some fun patterns for using them.



 



So much good stuff - I'm sure you're TL; DR by now - but check these out, Square Washers - 4 mm square - made of metallic Hematite! I think these would look awesome integrated into a bead weaving project!


Ok - I'll shut up now so you can go check it all out! As always - you can click on a link or image above, or get started with all the new items here. Happy Shopping!
