A Large Order of My Handmade Leather Jewelry Off to Beirut!

I've been so busy with wholesale and am so proud of this order.  I got it done in record time, 4 days! It's off to my stockist The Oddfish in Beirut. It was a really tight deadline but I worked really hard on it and am ready to start another wholesale order to Germany.

I love wholesale orders and now they make up more than half of my yearly revenue.  It is such an exciting thought that these stockist believe in your product so much that they place such large orders to sell in their shops.  It's like they really believe in you and your product and that feeling is amazing!

Boo and Boo Factory Custom Wholesale Order

I've been getting caught up on my wholesale orders trying to prepare for the Christmas rush, which I usually get around Thanksgiving up until the 19th of December.  Here is the finished order going to a lovely stockist in Australia.  Now I'm going to start a custom wholesale order of 20 pairs of my geometric stud earrings to another wonderful stockist in Australia!

Colorful Handmade Geometric Statement Jewelry off to Australia!

I've been busy working on a wholesale order of my geometric statement necklaces and earrings to a lovely stockist in Australia.  The order is almost complete! I'm also preparing for the holiday season and filling my shop up with new ready to ship designs.

Here are some progress pictures of the wholesale order. xoxo

Handmade Leather Eye and Holographic Jewelry

Working on several wholesale orders at the moment as well as preparing for selling at the Brika booth at Renegade Chicago.  This is what my desk currently looks like.  Lots of handmade leather eye jewelry and holographic designs!

Boo and Boo Factory Handmade Leather Jewelry - Orders today

This weekend I've been preparing my handmade jewelry orders to ship out.  I have quite a few wholesale orders, which are my favorite! I love photographing all of the pieces together at the end.  Since I've been so busy with my my leather jewelry, I haven't had a lot of time to make new inventory. My key chains and leather pouches have been doing very well and I'm excited to introduce some more designs.

In the mean time, I'm already thinking and preparing for Christmas, something I was better at last year but still need work on improving.  Back to work packaging up these beauties!

Handmade Leather Statement Earrings!

I am finally all caught up on my wholesale orders! Today I packaged the last one, an order of 14 of my handmade leather geometric statement earrings on it's way to a wonderful customer in California.  I love how the order came out! The designs and colors look so fun together.

Now it's time to restock my shop with new designs.  I will be releasing some of my summer collection soon!

Gold Leaf Statement Necklace and Fun Leather Earrings

Spring is coming, although it doesn't feel like it I can still dream of warmer weather! Since I've been cooped up I designed a few new pieces.  I created this awesome radiant orchid purple statement necklace that has a gold leaf geometric pattern.  I was playing around with how to apply gold leaf and I think I got the hang of it! I also made a really fun eye charm leather bracelet.  And lastly, I came up with a new design for spring by creating a flower petal pattern leather statement earring in turquoise, light pink, orange and hot pink.  They are my favorite earrings so far and I will be making several of them in different colors.  Hang in there, spring is coming soon!!

Geometric Statement Necklaces and Big Leather Earrings on the way to Hong Kong!

Last night I finished up a large 24 item order which will be headed to Hong Kong.  I am really excited that the order included a variety of my leather earrings along with my statement necklaces.  I have a Christmas holiday rush right now and am looking forward to see how crazy it will get.  I love being swamped with orders, staying up late into the night with a cup of coffee, my music playing and working on jewelry orders.

This year was the first year I've done Boo and Boo Factory full-time and it has grown so much.  I really look forward to seeing what the new year brings!

Handmade Geometric Leather Fashion Jewelry On Its Way to Australia!

I just finished a large wholesale order on its way to Australia!  The order has some of my favorite leather and feather statement necklaces, geometric brass and wood bib necklaces and colorful leather earrings.  I have another large order I'm working on and I'm trying to finish it before the holiday rush hits.

In preparation of the rush, I will be stocking as many ready to ship items as possible to lighten the load.  Last year my shop was mostly made to order items and when they started to pile up I was inundated.  But what I've learned from the previous years has made rush periods easier.  That's the beautiful thing about having your own business, that you never stop learning or growing.  Everyday is a new lesson.

I'll be updating in the next few days with what I'm working on and progress on one of my largest wholesale orders to date.

Leather Jewelry in Progress

It's no coincidence that I've been posting more about works in progress of my leather jewelry than the finished product.  I am always really interested to see things in an incomplete state where ideas are flowing and the final form is still being conceived.  I'm also finding that in interacting with potential buyers or people interested in my work, I'm receiving more of a positive response due to the interactive nature of progress shots.  I really enjoy the making process and will be photographing it more often, as the process, in my opinion, is as significant as the finished product. Long story short, enjoy the mess on my desk that will become jewelry!

Hand Painted Leather Jewelry

Yikes!  I have been gone for a while.  I made it a goal to give my Facebook attention and I forgot about posting on here!  Anyways, lots of new things are in the mix, including many new designs and techniques.  I have been working on several wholesale orders and selling on many other venues other than Etsy but have still found the time to create some new pieces. I love painting so I am so excited that I can now incorporate it into my leather jewelry.  Enjoy the kaleidoscope of color and geometry!
