i'm on flickr!!!

a weekend's worth of work...

saturday was spent scouring my favorite bead stores for the perfect piggies and chains to make these custom pieces -

i think they turned out pretty well, but fingers crossed for the reviews from the piggy lovers who requested them!

the weekend also produced the following pieces:

• aggy earrings - i actually made the first pair of these as a birthday present to my friend agnes, i loved them so much i wanted to share them
• throwbackk earrings - these seem 1920s-ish to me, maybe art deco? maybe i made that up? who knows - i still adore them and hope you do too.
  
• sparkly - simple and feminine
• bamboo-zled - trying to incorporate more silver jewelry into my "line" (ha!) hope you guys like this one

there's still lots more to come! like a ring i forgot to photoraph...whoops!

A few things!

Some random notes I wanted to share...

• in case you've been wondering, a lot of my pieces are photographed on my bed! i just love my duvet cover (it has birds and branches all over it, are we surprised??) and think it makes a lovely background. the bird "sculptures" are actually my tealight candle holders
  
• i loveeeeee yellow gold, is it obvious? but have had requests for more silver pieces, especially rings, i promise to oblige asap!
• i've just placed an order with another etsy seller for some new materials, i can't wait til they get here so i can start playing with them! stay tuned for their debut..

that's all! i just had to share ;)

new additions!

hi lovelies!

so i spent all weekend hammering and cutting away and have six items to show for it, please check them out on etsy when you get the chance. they include:

• a lovely lariat similar to my previous one but with labradorite and a lighter, rounder stone
• a beach necklace that i absolutely adoreeee
• BOWie rings ;) inspired by my forget-me-knot ring that everyone always admires
• the sequel to the naturale earring collection - the necklace!
• simple and pretty sand dollar earrings to wear to the beach in my dreams
• elegant moukaite earrings that will enhance any outfit

please let me know what you think!

welcome!

hey guys! welcome to the first post on my blog :) this is just to keep people updated on my jewelry making, hopefully it won't contain too many boring details about my life...

so here are a few things!

• apologies for only having one of most of my items, i'm not sure what people will like and won't like so i only make one of each thing. please feel free to message me any requests for pieces that have already been sold. i also really appreciate feedback, so if there's a certain style you'd like to see more of, please lt me know!
  
• my head is abuzzing with ideas, it just takes me a long time to execute them. i sometimes spend up to 2 hours on a single piece/pair of earrings trying to get them perfect, so stay tuned for cool new things!
• this also explains why i don't make items in bulk, by the time i'm done with one, i want to move on to my next idea!
• i definitely have more plans for hair accessories, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see
• i've tried to lower my shipping costs as much as possible, i hate paying for shipping so i know you probably do too!
• etsy charges fees and so does paypal, it really eats into my wallet *pout*

well that's my rant! in an ideal world, i could sit around all day making jewelry, playing with my future french bulldog, but until then i will rush home from work and focus on my craft into the wee hours of the night for you lovely folks!
