2009 shows

I have been accepted into 3 shows so far for 2009, so I have created a show schedule, located to the right under “sidebars”. Check back frequently so you can keep up with me.

new collection coming

I’ve been thinking about creating a new collection all winter, and since my trip to Intergem yielded so many appropriate beads, I’ve been working hard. I don’t know if it’s the coming season, or just wanting to do something a little different, but I’m creating a bridal collection.

I’ve made jewelry before for brides and their attendants, and it’s always fun – there’s the challenge of working with a specific color palate, working under a deadline (my most difficult challenge usually) and creating a design that matches what the bride has in mind. My bridal collection is a mix of ready-to-wear, with the option of customizing designs to match the colors/theme of the wedding. I am planning to post some things to etsy in the near future.

feeling accomplished

I got a lot of stuff done tonight, since it’s too cold to go anywhere. I cataloged the majority of the new beads I got at Intergem this weekend, I photographed the new beads and photographed the new designs I made last night. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum – I need to post some new items to etsy.
