new treasuries~

I recently have been really enjoying making treasuries - picking a theme and then adding amazing items to flesh it out.It is also a great way to feature the great jewelry of my fellow Jet team members. Here are a few examples:

daring to be luxe

Here is a new necklace that I just made - I have a stash of vintage components just dying to be used up and this one inspired me the other day, plus some gorgeous citrine beads I came across. The luxe style is pretty big right now and I thought that I would buy into it just a little but with my own twist thrown in. So here is the result! Also made a pair of semi- matching earrings.

Let me know what you think!

a new earring style

Just added these as a new listing to my shop - I was looking for some really petite simple designs for people who want something eye catching but small. You'll be seeing these in more colors soon! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32122996

New Artfire Account

I just opened an Artfire account - you can click on the icon on the right hand column of this page to go directly to my shop. So far I only have a few items there -a few from my Etsy shop and a few unique items. I will keep adding as time goes on. Check it out and let me know what you think!

new necklace design

I am starting to work with copper again and it is really fun! When I started out doing this many years ago I did alot with copper and twisted wire shapes but then drifted away from that. Now that copper is having a resurgence in popularity (and it is less expensive than sterling!) I am drawing upon some of my old designs and adding a few new elements in. This is the first piece I have made along these lines and you should be seeing many more in the future!

another treasury

I am so lucky to be on this fabulous team - they really support everyone and make sure they have visibility on a site where we are alongside thousands of jewelry artists. Here I am in a great treasury created by dashery ( http://dashery.etsy.com/ ) of our very talented team members!

treasury pics

I just downloaded a new program that helps you capture pictures on your computer screen- I haven't mastered it yet but here is my first attempt! I listed this treasury in the previous blog post but figured I would use it as my practice image. More attempts with other treasuries will follow!
