New Photos (handmade jewelry)

2010-04-16T10:01:00.000-07:00

So my hand model came in town and agreed to be photographed for/by her favorite sister! She was even awesome enough to mess with them some in Photoshop Elements. What do you think? Here's the photos we took but I have a lot more ~~boring~~ simple ones I'll put up in a few days. Once I have documented all my rings I'm opening an Etsy shop! The name will change (because how boring is Jessica's Jewelry?), and I will be selling more than just rings. See those awesome cowl's around my sister's neck? We made them! I'm going to try to put a tutorial up on those cowls because they weren't my idea, however I know a lot of people out there would much rather just buy them than try to make them on their own. I also have some really cute pendents I'm making this weekend and some fun headbands! I love to create and I figured I would just go for it and have fun!

I Won!!!

From time to time I enter giveaways on other blogs. I ACTUALLY won!!! I'm so excited and just had to share! It is from one of my favorite blogs ever called Flea Market Style... check them out!

I won this beautiful rose print! I have big plans for my room and this will look beautiful in it! I can't explain how excited I am :)

Even more...

The art show is tonight and I have been feverishly trying to pound out as many rings as I possibly can. I keep making more and more and here are some new ones I haven't displayed yet. I now realize why my friend Jodie likes to use natural light so much with her photography business. It is just so hard to reproduce the exact color of the beads by these pictures. I was inside under florescent lights... yuck! If you click on the picture, it will be bigger and a little better looking. I'm off all next week... YEAH!!!! My sister is coming in... DOUBLE YEAH!!!! So I'm hoping to make all my rings again (because I KNOW I'll sell them all at the art show) and she and I are going to try to take better pictures of them. She is going to be my hand model. I call her George. She'll be posing with coffee mugs and flowers... HA! We have it all planned out :)

I made some more rings! I have more beads still just haven't made them yet. Hopefully I'll get them done before Friday!

Take a look! The picture quality is horrible! I'm so sorry about that! This hopefully will give you an idea and if you want to see them in person I'll be at a Christmas gallery on Friday from 7-10. It is at the Riverside Gallery next door to Llywelyn's in Webster at 13 W. Moody, St. Louis, MO 63113.

My New Adventure

2009-11-29T11:37:00.000-08:00

I use to love to craft! I especially enjoyed making jewelry. It was a passion of mine but for the last few years I lost my creative edge. Not much was inspiring me until recently. My mojo is back and I can't stop!!! I've begun making these rings. I LOVE them so much and just began to make a ton of them. I was at first making them for myself but had so many ideas I soon had almost 20 different rings. The ideas are endless and I just want to keep making them but don't really think I could wear all my ideas. So I decided to sell them. I think they would make great gifts and are so fun to wear year round! I LOVE color and I love big chunky jewelry. This is how I began to create these rings. Here is what I've made so far but like I said... the possibilities are endless so if there is a specific color you are looking for, just ask. Happy shopping!
