I’m very excited about this release!

I’ve been working on these behind the scenes for the past couple weeks and I finally got around to photographing them today. I’ll be listing them individually throughout the day.

I love them! I like their dainty simplicity.

They are made by weaving tiny 1mm Japanese glass seed beads through Antiqued Copper small cable chain. They look adorable worn individually, stacked together or even paired with other bracelets. I’ve chosen to list them individually, but I might list some in pairs or groups later on. We’ll see how it goes!

new etsy shop packaging

July 28th, 2010 | 5 Comments »

Well, the blog is done. For now. It is a constant work in process, but I’m happy with it for now.

Of course I didn’t take a screenshot of the before, but here is  a tiny image I found online.

I got rid of all my shop flash widgets, changed theme colours, etc. I’m hoping to eventually create my own original share icons again, but for now these will do.

I never did get around to retaking my packaging photo, as discussed in my last post comments, but I will! Hubby is home ill so I’ve been tending to him – that is my excuse!

And if you’d like to see even further back, you can check out this old post.

I have a whole new appreciation for web/graphic designers.  I wish I could afford a professional, but alas, it’s just me.

Thoughts?

I haven’t discussed this here yet, but I’ve recently made the decision to change my branding. I’ve got a new logo for my shops and I’m in the process of changing my packaging/colour scheme. Next, hopefully this weekend, is the blog!

To help with this I recently acquired a bunch of new packaging supplies from the super lovely, The Gilded Bee on Etsy. She has such a wonderful shop, I could seriously spend all day in there!

Here are a few things that I got…

( I got some of her cute, wee flowers, too. But, I put them on display in my studio already and they didn’t get into the photo. )

If you are looking for some super cute packaging supplies, from a very sweet seller, I highly recommend The Gilded Bee! She also writes a beautiful blog, be sure to check that out as well!

Remember these?

They are now finished  and I am thrilled with how they turned out.

They’re a little glam, a little modern and a LOT of sparkle!

And they are now listed in the shop! Silver Pods Earrings

As I talked about in my last post, I was undecided how to finalise this design. I finally decided to keep them long and I love how they turned out.

I added a simple, beautiful Burgundy faceted Mookaite bead to the bottoms and hung them from coordinating Copper ear wires.

I’m going to make some shorter, simpler versions of these and probably some more long versions in different colours, as well.

They are now listed in the shop! Do you like?

So… I am terrible at keeping this blog updated. But, I do have good reasons. I’ve been very busy creating new item’s for the shop. I’ve got several new lines going at once, all of which I’m very pleased with and very excited about.

I agree, they should!  And this site does a wonderful job of it.

I am happy to now be a part of  Fey Handmade as well.    Go have a look!

And be prepared to get happily lost in there for a bit.
