Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to my new blog. You know how you have all kinds of things to say when you're driving around in your car alone? You know...partially written novellas, letters to the editor that you intend to write or email, the snappy comeback that's about 15 years too late? Yes? No? Oh, maybe that's just me.

Anyway, I thought I'd try my hand at this blog business to promote my Etsy shop and join the blogosphere, but I've found that starting a blog is a little like sex. Takes a while to get warmed up.

This week I received a suprise email from one of the writers of the cool site www.wickedlychic.com notifying me that my spiral earrings were featured on the Daily Ditties section of the site, for Aug 13. Here's a lame screenshot where the text is too small. Well, I am so pleased to be featured, I will copy what it says for you:

"I tend to be looped in by spirals & this pair of earrings stand out. Made from bone & sterling silver, these will be perfect moving into fall. From Jan Ziozios & priced at $15.00. The colors & style of these are exceptional. "

Go check out their site. It is big fun.

So, if you have stumbled across my blog, please say Hi, so I don't feel like I'm just talking to myself. I will do my best to add some interesting content as often as is possible.

As you can see from my Etsy shop, I like to work with polymer clay, and create beaded jewelry. I also enjoy photography, ceramics and my new inspiration is precious metal clay. I'll post pics of the pmc pendant I just made soon.
