Jewelry Party Planning

Today I received a call from a good family friend who is throwing me a jewelry party! This picture is the front of the invitation. It reminded me that I have a lot of work to do. I still need to finalize my invitations, make business cards, open a bank account, hassle the people at the trade name office (they forgot to do a step), get a receipt book and most importantly, make some more jewelry!

Business as Usual

Sitting here next to an adorable 5 month old girl listening to her gurgle about her favorite subject (which is probably milk), as my own 11 month old boy takes a nap, i have decided to create a blog. I recently graduated from the UGA with a BFA in Ceramics and found myself unable to continue as I became a new mom. Luckily my appreciation of all the arts lead me to start making jewelry. I started fooling around with findings and beads late last year which quickly lead to an addiction. This year I started a business (which took me all around town and I still have some steps left) and thought maybe people would like to share in my new adventures of starting a jewelry business to see it through it's failure or success (hopefully the later). Maybe I can give inspiration and receive helpful insight from others through this process but I won't know unless I try! This is jade necklace with copper findings, red brass chain and brass feather charms. The chain part wears like a choker with the jade beads hanging below the charms, creating a floating charms effect from the contrast of the beads to the thin chain.
