Five Bookmark Design

It has been recommended that I include a little something extra with my Etsy order, as a thank you for the purchase.  After some thought, I decided to make bookmarks.  These were fun to make!  I used scanned drawings of five bracelet designs.  The images were printed on cardstock, hole punched, and accented with a black string and snap tassel.  They are so cute!  I hope to give away many of them.

Play with Clay

I’ve been getting into playing with clay the past couple days.  Just experimenting.  Mostly I’ve been rolling a thin slab and stamping designs.  There are so many things to try.  My technique is getting better.  It appears that waiting is the hardest part.  That is, waiting for the clay to dry a bit before I can work with it.

I’ve been walking around the past couple days feeling completely unproductive, until I took this picture.  It doesn’t look unproductive!  For some reason, a lot is never enough with me.  Every moment in my life not spent doing something creative is wasted time.  I know this is technically not true, but it feels that way.  I sense a new years resolution somewhere in that statement. 

Okay, back to work!

Setting Goals

  

If I’m serious about selling jewelry on-line, then I need to set some goals.  My first big goal is to get an Etsy shop up and running in January.  I’m giving myself three months.  Today, I made a list of 9 things I think I can accomplish by the end of October, and I already crossed one off.  I bought a small notebook like the one I mentioned a couple entries ago.  I’ll carry it with me to take notes (design ideas, blog entries, etc) and do small sketches.  I also did some research on finding good prices for jewelry supplies, and tested out one of my designs. It’s going to be really striking, but I can’t show you just yet.  ;-)
