Tubular Motion

A new bracelet! I had some pretty nasty tooth issues last week, which made me loose a week. Not that good, but I'll make it up. I plan on making a bunch of stuff this weekend. I've already made two today. Since I'm doing so well with the wire bracelets, I continued with that. I hope to make a bunch of those today and then maybe even get in a unique necklace.

I'm starting to realize that although what I do unique in a way, it might be too diverse. I might have to narrow things down for the renaissance fair.

However, I did get invited to another craft fair - and it's at the end of next month! That's alot of work, but I'm having my friend go in it with me. She makes amazing ceramics. That'll double my inventory at least. And that fair is only two days, so it should help.

If I get more things done today that are different from the wire bracelets, I'll be sure to post that. Also, I was commissioned by someone at work to make him some goggles. They are almost done. Once they are, I'll be sure to post them!

Time for Gears

I am totally in love with the steampunk culture. I have no idea. The idea of history sticking with steam power and coal and creating these great machines that do what modern technology can just fascinates me. While I'm not skilled enough to actually create anything like that, I can mimic it (sorta) in the jewelery I do. This piece was my first success at soldering. *cheer* It's not my favorite, but the little gear spins! Yay! It's great to spin while you're thinking of how to design something, or waiting for illustrator to start, or waiting for photoshop to open a new file. I HATE this photo. I need to find a better way to take pictures, but when I go to do my blog I'm so not in the mood to set up a little studio. Maybe I should set one up in another room and leave it there. The deadline is creeping up on me and I keep getting distracted. But it's okay! I think I'll be alright. I mean, it's just a craft fair. It's not like it's the end of the wor...

It starts....

And so, all journeys must begin. First, a backstory? I am not a professional jewelery maker. I'm not a "crafty-mom". If anything, I'm bored. By day I'm a designer, using the computer to aid in my help. By night I'm a zombie killing maniac online. In between, I make jewelery. Last year, I found a local store that would carry my art. They've since gotten new owners that do not wish to carry anything but clothes. That left me with two options: give away the few measly pieces I had left OR make MORE and do the impossible - A craft fair! Choosing the latter because I'm a sucker for art, I also decided to make a blog alongside it. In the beginning it will be alot of looking at what others do, posting inspiration, and replicating what I can. Don't worry, I plan to share my secrets online. If you're looking for crafts of your own, or you're just bored, put on some Veronica Mars (or Bones, I'm currently in a Bones phase) and lets make some stuff...

Password Revival!

Image
Wow! I had my password stored on my computer but it went MISSING somehow and I forgot it! Phew. After that fiasco, I finally got it back up and running. That's why there hasn't been any posts. but I've been working! This is just a teaser. I'm working on a fun charm, but it's taking ALOT of work and my cats ran off with the other wing, so we'll see how much longer it takes to get done. Here is a photo of some goggles I've been working on for a friend. They are almost done now, and I was going to finish them tonight but I kinda got stuck up in a video game that is wicked fun. Haha. And... I took those pictures last week and now I can't find my camera. I bet a cat ran off with that too. Dang. Ok, more pictures once I get my camera back.
