Fly with me

TERRIBLE NEWS EVERYONE!! They cancelled my craft fair! I'm so bummed. Now what am I going to do!?! This was my goal and now it's gone! *le sigh* Guess I'll just have to find another craft fair.

This was a necklace I made awhile ago. I didn't have the heart to make anything yesterday or today, but I don't want to stop so I figured posting to the blog would help motivate me.

This necklace was meant to be a semi-aviator tribute. Although the parts make it look steampunk, I was thinking more of Amelia Earhart while making it. It also made me realize I have access to materials that would be awesome in jewelry and I don't use them enough. It's made up of a watch face with the interior flipped, wing and nautical charms, chemetal and a penny.

Anyway, without the craft fair I'm going to keep making things in hopes of finding a new one soon.

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.
