Tri-Peace Crane Collection

Today I started on listing my new collection of Tri-Peace Cranes. I had made them for a while now, but could hardly ever get a good picture of them, but today I was successful! Yay! I chose to make the ornaments with 3 peace cranes because the universal peace symbol has 3 lines, so 3 cranes. They turned out pretty great and I can't wait to sell them at my next Farmer's Market. Everyone should have a peace crane or something in their home that symbolizes peace to bring them happiness and a calm feeling. I stress alot with my way of living, but everytime I look at my ornaments I feel more calm and I let my stress slip right off me. They bring smiles to my face and I want to share them with the world. Right now, I have only one listing but I'll list up more soon. I'm very excited, so you know what? I'm going to start a CONTEST right now! lol Alright, here's the rules: Just stop by my shop and look around. Comment here and tell me what item you like the most and why, like a real reason, not just it's cute or something lol. Then on Friday, April 11, 2008, I'll randomly choose a winner and give them the item they like the most for free! You must leave a way for me to contact you though, like email or blogpost OR you can just E-Mail me with you info.

The one photographed is fabulous! I really like that you are working to use your creations to bring peace to someone else's life! It's a great motto!

Great shop!
I really like the Horoscope stars. So cute!
But I just LOVE the princess pendants. Especially Princess Saika. Reading about the story behind them and seeing how all 7 fit nicely together to form a whole picture totally sold me on them. I'd love to win that one!

I like the cancer lucky stars--because I am a cancer and I need good luck! : )

Gorgeous work!

I like the Mini Lucky RockStar Origami Star Keychain best because I have an obsession with tiny tiny things. That and the tinier oragami is, the more it impresses me. Considering I can't even make a single, normal sized crane!!

Susan said...

I love your spring crane earrings--they're so graceful and delicate and happy!

These are gorgeous! I absolutely love them, and my reason really *is* that they are pretty! My husband doesn't like flowers or pinks, so our bedroom is green. Green walls, and green plaid comforter. I need these to add a touch of femininity. I would attach them to the wall and use them to hold photos. :)

fairy tale magnets- my kids are getting into stories and love to play with magnets so with these they can make up their own stories while I cook dinner!

My favorite would have to be Princess Saika! It's quite original, unlike most things out there, and well, it's cute! haha :)

Bunny B said...

Nice work! Hope your etsy store is doing well :)

I especially love Princess Saika (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10104493). It's funny how I felt attracted to her and when I read her story, I knew why! I guess she was flirting with me LOL. Awesome!

I like your Golden Bloom clothespins---they make me want to hang clothes!

First of all I am a huge fan of the asian culture, therefore, I am also a huge fan of your work. You make beautiful items. About 7 years ago, I spent a couple of weeks touring Japan. The item I have picked, I enjoy because it reminds me of many of the cultural aspects I experienced while I was there. My choice is the Red Kimono Box. I could do so many things with this.

fortenberries said...

Your magnets are my favorite. Partially because I am nuts for magnets, but mainly because I really enjoyed the names you thought up for the different illustrations. Also, I generally am a big fan of everything fairytale related. The illustrations are also great.

I also like your princess pendants (they remind me of my niece).

Greetings, You shop has many lovely and unique items! I really like all of the pendants with the Princesses and the stories behind them. For my favorite item, I choose the "Shakespeare Love Card and Gift Combo!" Our anniversary is next month and I know my husband would appreciate your card and lucky dragonfly charm. It would put the charm on his desk at work! Please put me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi
