I didn't realize that my last log was the day before my birthday!
LOL!
I had a great DAY! ...and I didn't work on any jewelry!
*giggles*
Since then I have been pretty busy! YAYS! I have had steady orders for the last week and a half! I have had several custom requests as well!
Been called to work at Access so I haven't been home either!
Haven't had a chance to work on art or jewelry in almost a week!
That's kind of a bummer.
This is the custom earring set I was talking about in my last entry. I wish I was able to get a better picture but the weather wasn't cooperating! LOL! They were really beautiful in the light.

Sorry I haven't posted in several days.
Yesterday I was Access Hollywood all day, which is a GOOD thing!
I have a few new orders that I FINALLY was able to pick up supplies for! I haven't had a chance to get down there all week! I'll post pictures when I am done so you can see!
My Birthday is Tomorrow!!!
YAYS!
So, hopefully I won't be working on jewelry!
hee hee

AH!
I forgot!
I started drawing and painting again!
Oh, wait...did I mention that already?!
LOL!
I forgot if I did or not...I'm getting old.
Just kidding!

Ashley Goldberg...My Inspiration of the Day!

Very excited!
I believe that all these years of talking about doing my art again had left me feeling a bit empty.
I was always too tired after working all day...and was totally uninspired.
I must confess that reading the interview of Ashley Goldberg Really made me excited to get back in to it again. Her interview was fresh and candid. I absolutely adore her even more now! I am finally getting a Mac soon and can't wait! I already know there's a whole world that I never knew existed going to be at my finger tips!!! I LOVED the fact that Ashley is now able to live off of what she LOVES to do! Wow! Fancy that idea! Get paid to do what you love to do! I was SOOO INSPIRED! I guess a lot of the talented people I admire are way beyond the days of just getting off the ground...or so it seems to me. So, in that way I can't relate to "already being there." Her sharing allowed me to see she is soo thankful for where she is today and certainly appreciates where she came from.
Thank You Ashley for being my inspiration.
Much love and success to both you and your Honey.

Here is a piece of her art Called "ON STAGE"
Print of original illustration done in ink then digitally colored.

Print measures 8.5" x 11" with a white border for framing. Printed on archival matte poly/cotton canvas. If you're unfamiliar with this, it's like bendy paper with a finished canvas texture. It makes prints look amazing for framing or hanging on their own. And the colors look so rich and vibrant. I like that it's more durable than paper. All my future prints will be available in this form.

If you haven't read her interview or checked out her illustrations I highly recommend it!
Check her store out!

New Pictures

I have been so busy the last few days retaking pictures and updating them to the site. I am always looking to figure out better ways to photograph my pieces...it makes SUCH a difference for the consumer. My pieces are simply gorgeous in person, however, it is really challenging for me to translate that in a photo. Ah, practice makes better! The new pictures make a difference already! Take a LOOK!!!
