Items I sell on eBay are glass clocks, recycled bottle clocks, and pinecones. I make jewelry, clocks, and art objects. I use kiln-fused glass, dichroic glass, bottles, gemstones, sterling silver, and gold. I collect the pinecones from my mountain property. I will always do my best to please you!
At craft fairs I sell under the name Silvertree Jewelry and Glass
I started making jewelry to sell over 35 years ago. I've been selling at arts and crafts fairs, and wholesaling to retail stores for most of the years since then. Later in life I was happily silversmithing, and chopping firewood to heat my house, and after about 15 years of this, my elbows became very sore and I had to stop both activities until my elbows recovered. I went back to college and became an accountant. Now I have started my craftwork again, knowing accounting is a great benefit.
Educationally, I have studied ceramics and jewelry in college and art school; and gemology through the Gemology Institute of America home study course. I earned Certificates in Colored Stones, Gemstone Identification, and Diamonds. I highly recommend the GIA courses to anyone who works with or is interested in gemstones or jewelry design. I returned to college to get an Accociates Degree in Accounting. Most recently, I taught myself how to make kiln-fused glass for jewelry and small scupture.
Pinecones and Other Stuff
The other things I sell are the result of my environment and my love of miniatures. As I search for miniatures, I find I can never pass up a real good bargin. I find the available space in my house is shrinking. The logical solution is to resell some of my treasures. It's a whole lot more cost effective than putting on an addition! I live on a mountain side covered with pine, spruce, and firs trees which all produce cones. My average tree is around 150 feet tall, and drops many pinecones as they ripen. Squirrels help here as they seem to enjoy cutting the cones off of trees to watch them fall. I started gathering cones to clear the round objects from my pathway, and also to reduce the fire danger.
I try hard to identify my resale items so I can provide acurate information in my auction listings. I am always interested in hearing from folks that think they know something about one of my items that I may have wrong. Also I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
To protect bidder privacy, when the price or highest bid on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, User IDs will be displayed as anonymous names. For auction items, a bold price means at least one bid has been received.
Note: Anonymous names may appear more than once and may represent different bidders.
