As I mentioned before, I have been extremely busy with my new etsy store. You’ll see I have about 22 things listed now, but I have hundreds of photos on my computer waiting to be whittled down, and numerous items to list, and even more to photograph, measure, weigh, and research.

I had Janyssa over last week to do a photo shoot. I had some things I really needed to put on a body as opposed to a mannequin, and I can hardly model my stuff since I'm way smaller than the average person, plus I like to be in control of the camera. So she came over and we had a ton of fun playing dress up. I loaded her with beads and feathers(basically I dressed her up the way I look on a daily basis) retro glasses, headbands, make up. It was a blast. Here’s some of my favorite photos from the whole day:

 

Above is a bohemian dress, a tribal print, which looks like it was sewn from a tapestry. it has these awesome bell sleeves, and drapes beautifully

Janyssa's face was made for modeling 40's hats. On the left is a vintage 40's leather turban hat, and on the right is a beehive fur hat.

I also made my first sale this week which was really exciting. Hopefully that continues to happen! On a side note I sold a bunch of earrings in november at Upcycled. I only wish I could have had a booth at the made fair last weekend, I hear local artists did extremely well. It’s definitely on my venue for next year.

I was commissioned to whip some jewelry up for my roommate Emerald to give as Christmas presents. She wanted me to make some pendants, which I haven’t done before. I was excited with what I came up with

I will definitely continue to make these, I made another one of the last you see pictured above, and I wear it often.
