Treasury Features!

The past week or so two items from the etsy shop have been included in treasuries! It's always a thrill to be included with other talented etsy shops.

Click on the photos below to view the treasury collections. Happy Friday!

Weekly update fail(ish)

I had totally planned on weekly postings of the spiffy photoshoot & product pics! There would be new items listed in the etsy shop, and schmancy titles, and links, and and and..... allll that jazz.

Apparently, I overestimated my ability to bounce back from surgery. It's been, like, 4 days and I'm already bored of this whole "rest and take it easy" business. Though I can't complain about not having to do dishes....
Anyway until the swelling goes down and pain meds no longer influence my nap times (currently being, anytime I lean my head back), you'll just have to do without all that awesomeness. Can't you just feel the an-tici-pation? (said in my best Dr. Frank-N-Furter voice)

I am pleased to report the 'hardware removal' was successful (man, does that make me sound like a robot or what), AND I got to keep the plate-screws 'n all. You know I'm making that into jewelry...as soon as I regain function of my right arm. I'm thinking some pearls looped into the screw holes for a whole nature-on-metal theme. It will be amazing. I will wear it often and weird people out with the story. My fiance pretty much assumed I'd turn it into a full jewelry set. I love how he knows me.

In the meantime, I leave you with this:

Photoshoot- Quartz Tassel Necklace

After a long battle with various computers, I am finally able to post the results of the jewelry shoot last year! Unfortunately hundreds of product photos were lost when my old laptop died (the hard drive was unrecoverable, and we still don't know what happened). There are still many jewelry items waiting for another round of photos before being made available for purchase!

Thankfully, the photographer from our shoot had these photos burned to a CD, and it was just an issue of getting a Windows-based PC, and external wireless network drive, and my (now slightly less) new MacBook to play well together. It took awhile, but it all worked out! I'm not technically inclined, thus the looong wait. Since I have been remiss in consistent updates, I'll be posting a few photos at a time for you to enjoy.

Photography is by Stephanie Hawkins. She's a good friend and a fantastic photographer; she made the shoot go by so quickly, with a lot of  laughter & ridiculous giggling all around! I was thrilled to have her volunteer her time for this shoot. You can visit her site here.

Stephanie's site is currently being revamped so the content is sparse, but the lovely slideshow on the homepage is a great representation of her work!

Jewelry is modeled by the lovely Grecia Olsen. I love the rock 'n roll vibe she has goin' on!

This week is the quartz tassel necklace, which is currently up for sale on my etsy shop:
