My wholesale order is almost complete! I'm just putting some finishing touches on the pieces. I really love taking progress photos of orders I'm working on almost more than the photo of the final product! This is what my desk is looking like on this Saturday afternoon. I have 3 other wholesale orders to complete as well as several individual orders. Lots of work to do, not even to mention preparing for the holiday season, my busiest yet!
With this terrible cold here in Chicago I find myself wishing for warmer weather sooner than later. I am in the process of creating new statement necklaces with colorful feathers, as well as bold colorful earrings and a new line of leather wrap bracelets. Here is a look at what I'm working on!
I am currently designing a new line of jewelry so it is only natural for me to paint and play with different shapes and forms. I am stuck on polka dots, scallop patterns and funny noodle shapes. I'm combining these with my paintings to come up with some inspiration for my jewelry. Below is the result.
Today was filled with bright paint and glitter. These leather pieces will become statement necklaces, earrings and bracelets. I love creating new color palettes and textures. It is color therapy for me.
This morning was very productive! I thought I'd show you some works in progress so you can see the pieces made from beginning to end. I was playing around with different methods of painting, color and texture. These paintings will become statement necklaces. I think that they're perfect for summer. The more color the better.
