I guess I was busier than expected during the holidays. I thought I would be able to keep up with everything but I've been slacking. So the last week or so I have been getting on myself to get my act together and get back to work. It was a nice little vacation while it lasted, but I feel a responsibility to keep this website going and keep my stored updated with new products. Mostly because it's something I very much enjoy doing as a hobby and partly because it has turned into an investment that I don't want to see go to waste.
So I put in a jewelry order yesterday and went to pick it up today. I have about 60 new and gorgeous rings that are about to go up in the shop over the next couple of days. I also made two new necklaces one of which I was told looks like Betsey Johnson. I had never heard of this brand and was not familiar with it, that is how out of the loop I am. How much I don't pay attention to pop culture and the like. I prefer it this way. I prefer to make jewelry out of my own creativeness, instead of copy catting what is in, what's in magazines or what celebrities are wearing like so many other shops on etsy. When you wear one of my items you are wearing a piece of me, a piece of my imagination. Isn't that what art is supposed to be about? Conveying an idea that is bottled up inside your body in order to share it with others in a material form?
That has always been my interpretation of it...
Thanks for taking the time to read this update. I should have some new items and new featured artist articles for you soon.
