Bead Detail

I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille!

Hey Things Knot Broken Lovers!
"I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille..." That quote is from one of my all time favorite movies, Sunset Boulevard (1950!) starring Gloria Swanson. If you haven't seen it I recommend it. Anyway, finally my camera (with memory card) and handmade camera case are complete. [Round of applause] It was my first attempt at macramé versus micro-macramé and I did well! I had one hang up with the measurements of the strap and had to start over half way in but it wasn't too tough un-knotting and re-knotting since I used 3mm cord vs. .5-1mm in micro-macramé. This pattern can also be for a cell phone case. I wouldn't mind making more of these. I would love to get some color cord to make some bright orange and electric blue cases.

Also I will be meeting with Erin, my photog to re-shoot some of my pieces later today. The pictures must do my jewelry justice because the details are so intricate and the designs always unique, and Erin helps ensure that. Love her!

What's Goin' On?...

Hello Things Knot Broken Lovers! I just wanted to make a post keeping you updated on what's going on in my world of jewelry business. There's a bit of hurry up and wait going on this week. My new camera has arrived! I am simply waiting on my fantastic memory card which should be here around Tuesday. This upcoming Monday, my photographer Erin should have edited pictures of current works to me so I can go ahead and get them up and for sale. (Yay!) I'm also working on packaging ideas. I want it to be official and professional so I'm thinking patterned shipping envelopes of some sort... I'm sure the perfect solution will find me. I'm still designing keychains right now and it's going well. It's just like making a stand alone earring so I am enjoying the freedom from symmetrical duplication that is of concern when making a set of earrings. As always I love feedback, comments, and suggestions. Thank you! Kahrheena
