Squishy Sushi's Valentine Picks
Another holiday is sneeking up fast - here are some of my favorites for Valentine's Day!
Lucky Kitty: This recycled scrabble pendant features an image of an adorable kitty (neko in Japanese) on a fire enginge red background. It has gold metallic accents that looking like falling flower petals. Perfect for a young girl or anyone who loves cuteness!
Be Mine: This is one of our popular paper wrapped eco-bangles. This particular bracelet is wrapped with scraps of Japanese chiyogami paper in red and pink. The pattern is a traditional one of maple leaves.
Valentine Surprise: This scrabble pendant is made from a bit of recycled japanese chiyogami paper. This pendant shows a branch of pretty cherry blossoms in pink and red outlined in metallic gold. Sweet, Elegant and eco-friendly!
Scarlet Blossom: This is a vintage plastic bangle that has been wrapped with strips of an old decor magazine. The reds vary in shade from bright to dark and dusky giving it a neat gradient effect. The cherry blossom (sakura in Japanese) pattern was handrawn by me in between coats of sealant making a one of a kind piece of artwork.

Going Somewhere? Don't forget the map!
One of my favorite things to do is travel. I love visiting new and interesting places, the more exotic the better! So far I've hit 39 of fifty states and have been to about a dozen different countries. So, I am really excited about Squishy Sushi's new style of eco-bangles. These new bangles have are narrow (3/8") and are collaged with old maps. The width makes them great for stacking several on your arm at once. What better way to show off your love of travel or even your hometown than a bracelet with a map of your favorite place?

New Rings and Things!
This month Squishy Sushi is unveiling some of our new products for 2009. My favorite are the recycled scrabble tile rings. They are made with a bit of recycled paper, an old scrabble game piece and resin. The ring itself is silver plated and adjustable to fit any size any finger. I love how these rings mange to be adorably cute and still bold at the same time. At only $10 each these cute little rings make a great green gift. Be sure to also check out all our new fine silver and eco bangles being added this month as well.

Its Been a Long While but I Have a Good Excuse!
This past holiday season was a busy one. It was a lot of fun but I'm glad it's over - I needed a little bit of a breather.
I've also been working very hard on getting an updated look for my Etsy shop. I love how my new banner turned out and I think the kokeshi avatar is adorable. I just got my present to myself in the mail this past week. It's a brand new light tent! So everything will soon have brand spanking new pics. I'm really pleased with how they are turning out - here are a few of my favorite new scrabble tiles.
I think the tent really makes the photo look nice and clean. My fancy new marco lens doesn't hurt either. These items will all be listed for sale in the Squishy Sushi store in the next few days. I promise I'm better at updating the store than this blog.
Other new exciting changes that are happening is my new website that hubby is getting up and running for me. Check it out at www.squishysushi.net I've also got a great designer working on a series of project wonderful ads for me. As usual I have also been working on making lots of great new recycled jewelry - so be on the lookout for new lines to be released in the next month or two.
