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.

A BIG thank you to Alilsumptinsumptin - original + unique bling and the wonderful post she created on her blog!


At Alilsumptinsumptin, whimsy brings me great joy and touches that little girl within her. Most of her creations reflect this aesthetic and frequently incorporate two things she loves and enjoys: flower gardens & dogs. All her pieces are one-of-a-kind, oftentimes containing handcrafted Artisan Lampwork glass beads - wonderful little works of Art in themselves. Click on the banner below to visit her Etsy shop!

Pretty Pendants

I've been on a FIMO hiatus for about fifteen years. I love sculpting and I would like to give thanks to the geniuses behind FIMO Soft! No more gnarled fingers, no cramped hands, no noxious odors. And, I have been having a blast!











On top of that, I sold my very first piece on Etsy! Same day I listed it - definitely made me feel great!


Many of the pieces are marbled shapes I call "Signature Swirls". There's a long story behind it, but that shape has followed me for over 20 years and I even have it tattooed on my body. (Go ahead and guess where...maybe I'll tell. And, it's not anywhere you'd have to use crude vocabulary!)











Please visit my Etsy shop to see the newly posted pendants and beads. Purchase, let me know what you like, I'd even be happy creating a custom piece just for you!

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.

Fiercely Independent - A Rose of a Different Color

I've never been the "bad girl" in my family (maybe on occasion but I left most of that to my sister!) and for sure I have always been the black sheep, odd-ball, dances to a different drummer, artistic weird-o. Honestly, while these character traits have been known to drive my friends and family crazy, I mostly enjoy being me, and they enjoy the handmade gifts! Which is why I felt a sly thrill to see the title let alone the feature of my work on Art Life Newsblog!


Pippit Carlington, the genius behind Art Life Newsblog is also the creative genius behind Giftbearer - Stand Out! ***Distinctive Quality Jewelry***, a shop on Etsy. When you visit her shop you will find exactly what she promises - wearable works of art. Please click on the banner below to visit her shop!

Custom Creations - Artistic Challenges

I love what I do. I love creating. It's a part of my being, just like my arms or toes - my creativity, need for artistic outlets is a physical part of me. (It may sound odd and artsy-fartsy but that is the best way I can describe this thing I've always known and tried to express...)

This also means I love creating custom pieces! I enjoy the very specific challenge of turning someone's vivid dreams or uncertain desires into the treasured earrings or perfect picture frame. So, go ahead, by all means, ask away!













I recently met a wonderful woman online that was looking for a necklace, bracelet, and earring set. I had picked out the following information from our brief email conversations:

1. I love earth tones, but bright ones...
2. ...I love your works with tumbled stones! They are delectable!
3. I like long earrings.
4. I like your bracelet designs the best...

5. Dangles please me.

6. ...I like shorter necklaces...
7. I like free-formed organic things that have to be touched.

And, this is what I made:

When I shared these images with their potential owner, this is what she had to say:

::jaw falls off:: I am speechless. All I can really tell you is I clicked on the pictures you sent me until I had the necklace with bracelet and the earrings covering both sides of the monitor screen, then I sat there and stared at them for about ten minutes, then again for another 20 minutes... It is quite simply the most beautiful set I have ever seen, EVER, and I am in shock that it belongs to me. Every other thought I'm having about it is coming out as a stutter. I knew I'd love it, but that is... undescribably scrumptious. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!!! Can't possibly think of anything else to say! I literally am speechless. And I'm NEVER that, as you may have noticed.... THANKYOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

And, while I'm not sure if a warehouse filled with zillions of my creations to be sold at Zellers and Kmart, Saks or Bloomingdales, a boutique in Martha's Vinyard, or artist to the stars is in my future - I think getting a message like that is an amazing accomplishment.
