photos...

I've got new things to post on my site, but I am having problems with the photos. I made a lightbox to have a more consistent look to my photos, with the lighting, etc. However, I can not make them look good. ERGH! I want to get my new products on my site. I just wish I didn't have to take awesome pictures of it first. So frustrating....

custom pieces...

So I think I'm almost ready to set up shop for custom pieces. Almost. I need to sell a few before I can get enough supplies to feel like I can really get going. (Don't have much money to invest right now, unless the kids don't get a Christmas!)

Just made this one for a friend, what do you think?? I actually am going to sell my pieces without a sterling silver chain to cut down the cost. I think a lot of people don't really care whether it's sterling, and don't really understand how much more it costs. This will make my pieces much more accessible to people as well (and cheaper for me to carry the costs of supplies - which is important as I noted earlier).

p.s. I quite enjoy the pictures I took, however, not sure if I will get in trouble for using a picture of a popular figurine to sell my jewelry? Maybe I should talk to a lawyer about that, anyone know a good one? hehehe...

my latest projects...

I just finished sewing together a top of a quilt for my grandma. She did some cute embroidered/cross stitched squares that I pieced together by machine with some cute polka dot fabric. I did not take a picture, because it will be a gift for someone eventually, and it should remain a surprise! But it turned out very cute!

Since I finished that I decided to work on a couple pieces of jewelry. Did these two necklaces today, that will go on etsy tomorrow.
