Hand-Made

Hello Friends and Family! So let me start by saying that (Triston was right) this blog thing is addicting.

Alright, now that I've gotten that out of the way lets get to the down and diiirty.

I discovered this site a little while ago. I added an enclosed link to the site. You can join the site (I think for free) and post things that you've made by hand and sell them. Yes! For real dollars! So, as all my friends and family know I'm a art bug, anything art I'm on it aside from sewing, knitting, that type of stuff. Don't get me wrong though I'd love to be able to do that, I'm sure I could if I just applied myself, but I mostly do paintings (more so on the computer now than real paint and canvas), drawings, and now my latest artistic venture polymer clay. You all have seen it I'm sure. It's that Sculpey® stuff or Fimo clay. I made a really cool dragon out of the stuff a while back and realized that I can clay! So, my point of all this is, why not mix something I love aka art, painting, drawing, clay, etc.. and make money doing it? I already make money doing art all day as a Graphic Designer, but this is more a labor of love. Anyway, I went to the craft store a few weeks ago and got myself a GRIP of polymer clay and have been making charms, earrings, jewelery, or just plain anything I find and think of.

Last night I made these little beauties. (pix below) I'm going to get an arsenal of charms and other stuff made and then setup a profile on www.etsy.com. I'll sell them reasonably priced at first and see how the selling goes. At least to where I break even on supplies.

Anyway, I'm super stoked about these earrings I made and I think they're pretty damn good. Check them out. If anyone wants me to make them something I'd be happy to, FREE OF CHARGE, while I'm getting started anyway. Ideas, input, and constructive criticism is encouraged. Thanks!



The pic below doesn't really do them justice, I just wanted to give an idea of what they look like on. Awesome I know!!


















I made the black piece out of Polymer clay, and the other pieces are from an old necklace I had and old earrings I had in my jewelery box, and never wore.














Another shot, different background. Presentation is key.
