Have You Seen My New Banners?

Have you noticed my new blog banner? Look up! Isn't it pretty? In fact, I have new banners for both my blog and my Etsy shop as well! Check it out! I love them. What's even better is, my friend, the lovely Lorelei Eurto made them for me! Yeah, can you believe it! That L, she is so talented, isn't she? I've admired the many beautiful and professional-looking banners she has created for her own shop and blog. I finally got the idea that maybe she would be interested in trading her talents for some beads! :) Bead bribes always work, right? ;) Especially when we're talking Lorelei! hehe! :)

Well, lucky enough for me, she agreed! I sent her some of my new porcelain pendants and beads for her to work with for the banners. Lorelei then, got to keep what I sent, as her payment for her services. Brilliant idea, heh! And it worked out beautifully as you can see! I'm so happy with them. They are gorgeous! She did a fantastic job and it was a lot of work. She took many photos of my beads for me to choose from, then she did all the editing, fonts and colors.

I'm in full Fall swing with the current banners, but Lorelei even made me a second set of banners so that I can swap them out when the seasons change! Here's the second blog banner she created for me:

So pretty! I can't wait to use this one, too! I love the composition and soft, earthy feel.

If any of you bead or jewelry people out there are in need of a blog or shop spruce up, I'm sure L would be happy to help you out in exchange for some of your bead stash! I highly recommend her! One happy customer here!
