WOOHOO :)

I got accepted into the Art on the Green at the Pinehills show again!! Needless to say I am very happy about this, and I look forward to doing the show again. In case you were wondering, the show is on June 19th! I have a lot of work to do!

Spring :)

Even though the weather does not seem to agree, I am in spring mode! My spring break started today (woohoo!) so I will be busy catching up/ getting ahead on work, and of course making jewelry! I am waiting anxiously to find out if I got into the Art on the Green show--I hear on Monday! (wish me luck!)
But besides all of that, I have been trying to come up with some new ideas with pearls and silver. Keep on the lookout, hopefully I will have some finished pieces and pictures soon!

Keep creating!

Shipments and Project Runway

I really hope that my shipment from Fire Mountain Gems comes today, I really want to make some new pieces with the crystals!
So I have been reading the etsy metal blog for awhile, and I really love how they do the challenge of Project Runway, in relation to jewelry. I have been watching Project Runway a lot, because it does inspire me to work on new pieces, so this challenge will make it even better. My sketchbook will definitely be in use during the show.

Happy creating!

Dreaming of Spring and Summer

Even though winter is still amongst us, I cannot help to look forward to the spring and summer. I love the bright colors associated with summer, and the idea that I can go to the beach and not freeze!
I am still busy getting new designs ready for my show in June, and I am lucky enough to have a friend at school that is going to take some pictures of my jewelry. I am too going to try and do some too, time will tell.
Recently I have been doing a lot of pearl knotting and wire wrapping. Since I am at school and don't have easy access to a torch, I am somewhat limited to what I can do. Pearl knotting is so relaxing for me, and I recently got a lot of pearls at a bead show, so I have many sets that I can make.

Until next time :)

I am very excited to announce that my jewelry is officially in a store!! I was able to bring in 12 pairs of earrings to sell, so hopefully they will. If you are ever in Sandwich MA, and have a chance to stop by the Jewel Box, check it out! :)

I am back to school on Monday, so I will not have access to my torch as much, but I am going to try and get as many components done while I am home, so I can construct while I am at school.

I should stop saying should, and just do! So that's what I am going to do!

Stay creative :)

New Year, New Designs

As 2009 comes to a close tonight, I am looking forward to more time to make new jewelry. I am going to try and keep updating on here, as well as facebook, with new designs and updates on what I am doing.
I was very fortunate to get some new tools for Christmas, I got an anvil, forging hammer,disc cutter, and I finally got a B&S gauge. They will definitely come in handy when I am busy working on new designs!

I hope everyone has a great New Year! :)

Become a fan!
