New Year, New Jewelry

Ever since my showcase at work, I've been commissioned to make customized jewelry. Here are a few pieces people asked me to make based on pieces they've seen and to match other jewelry they'd bought from me.

Inspireashine Jewelry Showcase!

Last Friday I had a showcase of my jewelry at Moonscoop (where I work), and it was more successful than I imagined it would be! Much less stress to deal with than the LA Artwalk or even Etsy. I will definitely look into setting up a little shop at local businesses! Lots of people bought in time for the holidays!

Here are some items I sold. A few are custom-requested.

custom necklaces

I finally made two custom necklaces. Finished them both in one shot. One was due before Halloween (sorry!) the other is still a work in progress. The customer wants me to change a few things. I actually like the coppery hues.

Anne Boleyn Steampunk Necklace




Shift Star Necklace

This is Halloween! (Halloween, Halloween)

This year I dressed up as Mystique Sonia from the animated show "Hero 108" that I am currently working on.


(Mystique Sonia image is property of Moonscoop.)


Here is some concept art:

Yaksha (hat):
I used materials I got from Target (total $5) and buttons from Joann's for the eyes and nostrils. I used black felt for the teeth.

Dress:
I bought the dress from Forever 21 for about $11. I cut the seams on the sides and hammered some eyelets in to tie red ribbon through because Sonia's dress flares out.

Tutu:
I bough crinoline fabric from Joann's for about $0.89/yard. I got 5 yards, cut it down to about 24"x2" and tied it onto a red ribbon, a couple inches longer than my waist size. Repeated the tying until the end of the knot.

A few new Steampunk Rings

A few new steampunk-inspired rings I made, since I've been making quite a few custom orders!

More Steampunk Watch Movement Cuff Links

And many more... to come!

New Custommizable Scrabble Tile Jewelry!

R for Rochelle!

I can make necklaces, bracelets, cuff links, and earrings too!

Soldering

I am trying to get over my fear of fire and hot objects, and will use my soldering iron under supervision of another adult, someone suitable for the job, perhaps one of my many pyromaniac friends.

Update

I haven't posted anything in a while, but I at least wanted to update you on my Etsy/arts and crafts ventures.

I've been selling a lot of custom-made orders: Typewriter Key Rings and Guinness Bottle Cap Earrings mostly.
