It's kinda burning a hole in my brain...I just want to try to make them. (More jewelry. There can never be enough.) I don't have the rest of the supplies, though...like the metal to punch them with.

These are 1/8". They're smaller than I thought. They look like toys, but they're heavy. I can't wait to use them.

Leaflets

In time for spring:



Okay, so maybe the name isn't the greatest but I think it describes them in one word which is want I wanted. They are handknotted over wire (I think I should trademark this) in a mint green. They are based on the Convex earrings but are fancier and have only sterling silver components. Yeah, I'm movin' up. What! :P


Would you believe that the background in this is a piece of wood-look construction paper? I took this picture this morning in direct sun light because in my light box, with my wonderfull camera (see post below for how much I 'love' that camera), the colors were distorted.


New at LP by rJax, you can click the picture, as usual, for more information.

Picture taking is badness

I made new earrings. I bought some sterling silver earwires from Starry Designs, another Etsy sellers. BTW, I think I may convert to SS earwires except when I'm trying to make it casual and go with a dusky look. But you,(you?), I could just oxidize them. Anyway, they're super comfortable.

My problem is that my camera won't take nice pictures of the earrings. I, of course, am far from a digiphoto expert. (For the record I haven't seen anyone use digiphoto before. If you use it, please credit me with the invention...okay, I'm kidding.) But I don't recommend the Kodak Easyshare DX6490. It's driving me nuts, but I'll have to live with it until I have enough $$, which may take a few years, to be a nice new one that takes a picture of what is there doesn't change the colors. It's annoying.

Oh and I started a new blog. Why? Because I can. I shouldn't have, I have enough to do to keep this and the LJ one updated. I don't know why I stress myself out with an added blog.

So, new earrings are coming to LP by rJax in the very near future...if I ever manage to get a few nice pics.

Convex

As a designer (I quake a little calling myself that...it seems to lofty) I know I've changed and learned a lot.

Today, though, right now, I'm feeling really good. Not so much prideful, but confident. I listed some fairly simple earrings, macrame of course.
Convex- Macrame Earrings with Denim Lapis Lazuli chip beads
But the listing, the pictures, I don't know, they look so professional. I feel like, though they're simple and listing is something I'm pretty familiar with, I'm coming into my own. I'm figuring out myself, my designs, and how to present them. I feel different, though I haven't done much different. Today, though, right now, I'm feeling not so much prideful, but confident. I can do this. I feel good.
