New earrings available in my shop!

I'm making my sister some earrings for her birthday that's coming up soon, and decided to make a few pairs to sell in my Etsy shop, as well. The beads are semiprecious stone beads, sodalite (darker blue ones) and turquoise (the lighter ones). The golden french hooks are easy to use and the color brings out the green in turquoise.

Today I sold a cloisonne bead bracelet, one of my favorite pieces. Cloisonné is a distinctive art form that was developed in China in the 13th century, and it has grown to be one of China's number one exports. The making of cloisonné requires several processes: hammering, wire inlay, soldering, enamel-filling, enamel-firing, polishing, and gilding. The wire work in Cloisonné beads can be flush with the enamel or it can be raised to create a 3-dimensional look. The wire can also be twisted to add more interest.

First purchase!

Today I got my very first customer! A girl bought a pair of earrings from my shop on Etsy.com! So the pretty green crystal teardrop earrings are ready to find a new home! I was so excited! Packing my very first order to mail it off seems almost unreal. I hope there will be many more of those moments. Tomorrow, I'll mail my order off with pride. Packed nicely and professionally, the earrings are placed in a small ziploc baggie of just the right size for the earrings. They're on a small matching shiny green piece of cardboard, and also in this baggie is my business card with all my info in case the client shall have any questions or wish to further explore what I have to offer. The baggie and the short "thank you for your order" letter that is printed on the stationary that matches to my business card and with my logo up top are placed in a pretty cushion envelope. How cute! I don't know about you, but I know I'd love to get a package like that! ^_^

Feeling creative!

I was feeling very creative a few days ago, made lots of new items.

My working desk

These are photos of my desk where I work when I make jewelry. It's messy, lol, but I know where everything is.

Listed my stuff on VF

Today I listed my items on one of the groups/cults at VampireFreaks.com; the group is called BUY_SELL_TRADE, here's the link: http://www.VampireFreaks.com/cult/BUY_SELL_TRADE

Better photos (slightly)

So today I found out that my boyfriend's phone takes much better photos than my digital camera. How sad :( but at least, now I have a choice of a better graphic to represent my creations.
I also made a new key chain and listed it in my online store. It has a heart-shaped keyring and a dual soft green tassel with beads hanging off. Perfect as a gift of friendship or love: the two tassels mean two people, the heart-shaped ring is the love that holds them.

Another thing I've come up with is opening up a store at Lov.li, apparently they are famous amongst young people who make and wear handcrafted things.
