The articles have been up for a month now.
I have 11 articles on about 45 sites, which translates to 495
incoming links without counting the articles that have been
picked up for other sites. The sales of Website ShowCase
have picked up quite a lot in the last 2 weeks. So, I
think I will keep on plugging. Lots of work, but I have
some software that helps me upload the articles pretty quickly.

I just got a note that I have been selected as a
Platinum Articles Expert at Ezine.
Here is a link to my articles. I think it just means
I have written a lot of articles, but they are being read and
downloaded for use on other websites.
I have been submitting the first series of articles
to a number of sites and will be adding more as often as I can.
I have bought some software to help me get them online. It
doesn't automatically add them, but lets me add them and chose the
categories then submit. After having to submit all of the
articles to a lot of sites, I have made a resolution to submit each
one after it is written.
I need to focus on some more jewelry articles and
some articles on business and jewelry websites.

Trois Ame'tiste
This piece is has several first's. It is the first
with natural crystals, the first with 30 gauge wire, the first
with multiple gauges used in the coils and the weaving, the
first with three versions of one stone - amethyst and the first
with a bail at each "end" so it can be worn either way.
I am working on a long tall onyx just now, but planning a
woven piece that will hang from either "end" and is also
reversible. This one nearly is with a lot of weaving and
intricate work on the back.
I hope it looks better in the photographs when Don takes
them. I am just NOT a photographer.

I have been writing articles and submitting them on a
pretty consistant basis and I can see the difference in the
visitors to the site and sales of
ShowCase. My goal is at least 30 articles right away and
submissions to at least 50 sites. This works out to
1500 incoming links. On one of the sites they have
logged over 700 visitors in 2 weeks from 10 articles.
Not bad at all. It is just pretty time consuming.

Twined Basket
This rib basket is made of two types of wire so you
can control the color striping. This shows a two
color vertical stripe. I think I can make checks
and chevrons with this technique - it will just take
some planning.
Also - on the top of this one I am trying to find a
braid edge, but I didn't do it tight enough. If I
tighten it up, I think the edge can be braided

 Rib
Basket
This is one of the rib baskets with the ribs on the
outside. I am planning one where I move the ribs in
and out to create a pattern. Once I get this one
working the way I want to and get a decent center on it, it
will be flattened and I think I can do an interesting series
from that. I made this one on a dowel of the side of
the inside of the piece and it is incredibly smooth inside
because I pulled it very tight.

Vase Basket
With this basket I am working shaping and I tried adding
beads. I am not that much of a beader and it really
doesn't seem that they enhanced the basket at all. I
have been working with 5 different techniques for weaving
the baskets and this one seems to be the most easily shaped.
However, coiling is also very controllable and allows
shaping.
This basket is about 1 1/2 inches tall and maybe an inch
wide.
