After reading an article in the November 2008 Art Jewelry Magazine edition, about different techniques in coloring copper, I am on fascinated and on a mission to try to incorporate this into some new designs. Also, in the is magazine edition,
In this edition, there was a wonderful article called "Master of Color"


featuring a wonderful design, Deb Karash that utilizes this technique in some outrageously beautiful pieces!



During the course of my designing, I am drawn to adding color into all of my sterling silver pieces, whether that be stones, beads or resin. All have been fun to work with but, reading these articles has truly inspired me..yet another medium to work with!
I have to admit...I ran out and got what supplies I was lacking, in order to practice with this. It has been, well, shall I say, not as easy I thought it would be. But, all great things, I suppose are NOT easy.
But I am up for the challenge!

Haven't had too much reaction to these yet...I am thinking my new resin line is not hot yet on the list of wanted items??
I think these are fun, and if anything else...I get to keep'em! :):):)

Newly listed this morning...another resin project.
I must say, I really like how these turned out! I combined a couple of colors over the base silver color for a splattered effect.
Still, a learning curve as I could have combined these colors a tad earlier. The base resin cured a bit too long before I had attempted to add the additional colors, but thank goodness, I still achieved the effect was going for ;)

It's been too long since posting but have been working on some new items for my shop.
Can you guess what it involves???

So, the learning curve has been interesting but well worth it. I have all found that my metal-smithing and soldering skills are vastly improving along the way!

So without further adieu, I present my new Resin and Sterling Collection :)

This past weekend, the Jewelry on Etsy team ran a Spring Fling Sales event. We had a promotional thread running from Friday through Sunday and people were encouraged to visit participating shops, post items that they liked, and in return, prizes were given out, throughout each day to random posters on our thread.
Prizes were donated from various Jet Team shops participating in this event.

I had the pleasure of donating a prize ( a custom hand stamped sterling silver charm), and my particular winner was Wowbaby

Today, I was totally surprised to find out, she had blogged about it and I dare you to wipe the smile from my face!
Wow Baby's thought of the Day

As a jewelry designer, my biggest fear is having someone not like, or be disappointed in something that I've made. That fear and uncertainty never goes away. I feel those same butterflies every time I place something the mail.
Sometimes you receive positive feedback and sometimes you hear nothing at all....and you alway wonder about the "nothing's".

Today, I didn't have to wonder and I just wanted to say...thank you!

I finally made it! It was at 2am in the morning while I was sleeping but luckily a fellow Jet team member, GrandmaMarilyn',s was able to get a screen shot for me! Thank you GrandmaMarilyn!!
I'm the very bottom right hand corner!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
