We at Dry Gulch are super excited to once again be a part of the Grow Your Blog hop hosted by Vicki Boster from
2 Bags Full. Vicki creates amazing things with fibers and yarn; and we can't wait to get to know other artisans and see their beautiful creations, too. There is so much inspiration, just waiting to bloom!
Thanks
so much to Vicki for all of her hard work in hosting this blog hop, and
thank you for letting us become a part of it. Without further do,
let's HOP to it!

Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry is a family-owned business having three
generations of women designing and creating beautiful jewelry to be worn
casually, professionally and formally. We are Deborah (Grandma),
Jennifer (Mama), Catherine and Gianna (Cat and Bean - Granddaughters).
Not only have we had a “brick & mortar” store located in Joplin, MO.
for the past 10 years, but we also have a retail/wholesale website with
clients and customers from around the world.
We carry a large selection of crystals, beads, findings, chain and tools
etc. and our finished jewelry is also sold in several boutiques. We
also create torch-fired lampwork beads, hand-cut and stamped metal,
painted and enameled components and many other custom pieces. We have a
love of “vintage” and often incorporate that into much of our jewelry.
We are a “work in progress”.

We're inspired by the little things: the beautiful “Ozarks”
where we live, our horses playing in the field on our small ranch, and
even the beautiful colors we see in our chickens! We have a love of
textiles, mixed media, and all things old. All these things reflect in
our painting, enameling, glass bead making and finished jewelry.

We at Dry Gulch love to blog and Facebook and Etsy and Pin all over social
media. Searching the interwebs for inspiration and knowledge is
something we really enjoy. We feel that blogging is a great way to get to
know folks and their craft, so we're very excited for this event! Thank you again for stopping by our blog; have a cup of tea and a cupcake, and enjoy!
On behalf of Vicki at Two Bags Full and myself, welcome to the Grow Your Blog blog hop! Wow, your jewelry is awesome! Will be looking around a bit more. Thanks for participating today, and I hope your traffic is good.

DeleteI love handmade jewelry and handmade beads-they are so beautiful-I am loving your background here allot too.
ReplyDeleteI live in the Ozarks too-we are retired and moved here from northern Illinois-we live very rural and in the woods between Lebanon and Lake in the Ozarks-a beautiful area to hunt and fish and hike.
I hope your property did not get damaged during that horrible tornado.
I am a new follower and off to explore your site-I love to pin too-
