More new design & photography endeavors/experiments. This is fun!

In addition to creating two of my absolute favorite earrings the other night, I did some major studying on photographing things like jewelry yesterday. I learned all sorts of techniques and decided to try some out. I like the results! I know it still needs a lot of work, but I'm getting there. Practice makes perfect! I could never take photographs with backgrounds like this before, so I think I'm already improving! Check out my latest pieces at (as always) my store.

I just ordered some great new supplies from Etsy sellers and can't wait for them to come in. Until then, I've been working on packaging some samples for a couple of "samplers" that I'm participating in. It's so fun to put together all of the goodies and I really hope they pay off! I have found some time to create a couple new earrings for my collection. I like them both because they seem so elegant and simple. The photos of them are above. Find them both at my Etsy Store.

More New

Now that I have all these great new materials, I just can't stop creating! It's like a disease! A fun one though, so I'm not complaining! Check out the new pieces, as always, in my shop.

On a totally unrelated note, my boyfriend's nephew said the cutest thing the other day (I think it's cute, anyway) that I just had to share. He noticed the bandage on my leg, and asked what happened. I told him "I have an 'owie'". He asked me if I fell down, and when I said no, he said "Well then you don't have an owie, Aunty!". I thought that was pretty cute.

New New New!

This is what happens when I get new supplies. I get obsessed and I end up working all night just because I keep coming up with new ideas. It's okay though, because it's SO MUCH FUN! Anyway, here's the latest of my new designs. They're all posted in the shop now, so feel free to take a look. I'll probably be taking a break tonight, but not to worry, because I know I'll be back soon with all the ideas and designs I've been sketching out.

All New!

I've just added a whole bunch of new necklaces to my store

One has even been added to the Faith & Hope line. Come in and check out the new pieces!

New Faith & Hope Line

When I was in college, my family told me that my grandpa was beginning to forget a lot, was sometimes getting violent (something he never did) and eventually ended up in a senior care facility. We soon found out that it was dementia. It was really hard for the whole family to go through, so I've decided that with my new jewelry business, I'd like to help raise awareness, assist with the care of those with dementia and assist with funding for research.

I've created a new line of jewelry that I named "Faith & Hope". 50% of sales from any of the pieces in this line will be donated to the DementiaCare Foundation. Read about the foundation by following the link, then visit my Faith & Hope line and consider purchasing a piece to help out the cause.
