Sunday Snippets

From Hemingway's True at First Light novel:

Fear is a child's vice and while I loved to feel it approach, as one does with any vice, it was not for grown men and the only thing to be afraid of was the presence of true and imminent danger in a form that you should be aware of and not be a fool if you were responsible for others. This was the mechanical feat that made your scalp prickle at real danger and when you lost this reaction it was time to get into some other line of work.

I love, when in the middle of reading, an unexpected gem appears, and it's something that makes you stop. Read it again. Think about it. Read it again. Think some more, sigh, and move on.

Attention Jewelry Artists...

I want to feature your jewelry box!

I am looking for jewelry artists that would be interested in having up to 3 pictures and a brief interview about their own jewelry collection featured on my blog.

Wouldn't it be fun to see what jewelry artists keep in their own jewelry box?

I would also post your name, company name, and one url at the end of the feature.

Please feel free to contact me if you're interested! I'm hoping to feature one artist a week.

Thank you!

New Item Updates - Men's Jewelry and Accessories

It's getting closer to Father's Day, and I've also just been meaning to contribute to my men's jewelry and accessory inventory for quite some time. I have some designs sketched out in my notebook, and I've already ordered the necessary supplies. I hope to be adding more men's items as early as next week with the focus being on necklaces.

If you would like something custom made for your father, grandfather, boyfriend, husband, or any other man in your life please feel free to email me at 1337art@gmail.com I would love to work with you to create something he will cherish.

Thank you so much for reading!!

Trying to find the time.

I have been spending almost all of my spare time either trying to relax after a long week at work or working on new items for my shops. What I thought I knew about time management has seem to have gone out the window, and I haven't felt like I've had the time to create enough original pieces.

I've been focusing on stud earrings because I do love them, and a lot of people like them too.

I am having a real problem trying to clean up (as well as organize) my home studio so I can be most productive with my off time.

These next few days I'm going to try very hard to make a noticeable effort to clean things up. If you have any tips please feel free to post them! And if I pick anything up I'll be sure to pass the tips on to you.

Thank you so much for reading!!
