Staci Rose Designs & Elle Belle

Stacey, (for some reason, I LOVE her name!) a fellow Etsy artist, wrote a wonderful feature about me and my work on her blog, Elle Belle.


And, I am VERY glad she chose to write specifically about these earrings...the 'Mother's Earrings'. Everyone I have made these for consider them an extremely special piece they hold close to their hearts. It's a fashion accessory! But, it's a little piece of their children, friends, grandchildren, lovers...probably one of my most cherished creations.

"I love wearing my mother's earrings. They're very special."
- Sharon S., Portland, OR

"Very beautiful earrings! Great quality.
I am very happy to have these! Thank you!"
- Lori L., Yuba, CA

"Staci, you've outdone yourself! These are gorgeous!!"
- Angelina K., Denver, CO

Elle Belle ~ for Chick Mommies and Pampered Babies

Elle Belle is the place to find handmade, boutique quality baby items that make being a Mom easier and more fun! It all started when I and a few of my friends started making things for our own children and realized that even though we each only had one or two things we specialize in, colaborating is more fun and makes for a shop full of things we all absolutely couldn't live without. Happy Shopping! Click on the banner below to purchase some of her fabulous functional art!

Ulixis Crafts Featuring Staci Rose

I was happy to receive a message from Amanda letting me know she had featured my shop and art on her blog Ulixis Crafts. By far, this is the most thoughtful post I've seen so far - I hope you enjoy!

Ulixis Crafts

I've been crafty my whole life, and enjoy making a variety of things. When I was younger, it was drawing, then wreathes, dolls and beading. Now, my focus has switched to notebooks and jewelry.

Adorn Your Ears!

That's right. Every year, I see people decorating their homes their families and themselves within an inch of their lives. Some I find a bit scary (er...giant snowglobes for your lawn?!!!) and some I LOVE to create! Like earrings...!











Blues are icy and warm, friendly and fierce! And, I was missing them - I'd been focusing on fall flavors I completely neglected them!











Feel free to contact me if something catches your eye or check out my Ebay and Etsy shops for excellent earrings at reasonable prices. I'm even happy creating those special earrings to match that wonderful new outfit. And, please remember to search for Mother Earrings in my Etsy shop - they make a very thoughtful and special gift!

Staci Rose Designs - An Online Feature

Today has been a phone day. It just didn't stop ringing so I ignored a couple of calls, picked up my laptop, and was happy to see a feature post by A Rose by Name blog.

I don't even know what that means. I understand the words individually, but not all jumbled up like that, like in a sentence. Here's the Treasury where I found it - a pair of my earrings is featured. You can click on the image to view until Saturday, October 27th.


Heide has been a great supporter of my art and a fabulous "advertiser" via her Treasury's. I have spoken to her briefly, but always appreciate when she features my work! Please click on her banner to view some of her wonderful art!

Special WWAO Online Showcase Exhibit: October Member Show

22 of Worldwide Women Artists Online's over 300 members are exhibiting exciting works of art in a variety of mediums. Come on in and see the exhibit "Anything Animal" from now until October 31, 2007!



Hosted by Equine Artist Donna Ridgway, painting animals and scenery with a generous dash of color and light, Donna creates art in her Vaughn, Mt studio. A self taught artist, Donna uses complementary color schemes, coupled with a play of light against dark, to create an element of drama in her work. Coming from a family that homesteaded on the Rocky Mountain Front, her ranch life background influences her choice of subjects. Her enthusiasm for her work spurs her on to create many paintings each year.

The 22 exhibiting artists will be showcasing a variety of mediums and styles. Ridgway has put together an excellent, creative and interestingly themed show. Among them, my original Brecciated Jasper, Turquoise & Pony Pendant Necklace "Desert Mustang", which I am very proud to exhibit! You can also find this piece listed for purchase at my Etsy Shop: Staci Rose Designs.
