As I mentioned in an earlier post I had been working on a project behind the scenes. That project was my own jewelry designs and opening my own etsy shop! Since circles and spades are my favorite shape I thought it would make an interesting name for the shop and brand. I am also selling some old records from my parent’s collection – another circle in life! Right now I have about 20 designs and currently 15 are listed. These are some of the circle post earrings I have for sale in the shop:
Added a buttons photoshop brush to my goodies section
A few days before Hurricane Sandy hit the North East I met up with Gurley – an artist from London whom I met through Jayson Lilley last year – on twitter!! She was here visiting for about a week, and asked if I would like to meet up in the city. Of course I did! I would have blogged about this awesome event sooner had Sandy not hit a few days later. The storm threw me completely off for about 3 weeks and then the holiday season kicked in. I did however have an awesome time with Gurley in NYC – we wandered around and went into bead stores, and wig stores and grandma’s attic looking antique stores! It was a lot of fun.
I’d also like to thank Gurley VERY much for my surprise. Before we departed on the subway, she gave me one of her pieces! The one featuring Mickey Mouse. I was really shocked and honored, and now I have works from both awesome London Artists Jayson Lilley and Gurley on display in my apartment. During our adventure I took some photos of her and her work… so I wanted to share them here.
The other day I read an article about colors and the author MrJamesRichman shouted to me and asked what my favorite color was. I mentioned it was purple and then I said something which he really liked. And the next thing I knew he tweeted a graphic with my quote:
Haha. He really agrees with me. I wonder what age all the other colors are?? Hmm.
I came across this tumblr that posts photos of random objects organized neatly. The photos are submitted by many users, with all different kinds of objects and subjects. I don’t know why but I’m so mesmerized by it… definitely an interesting tumblr to follow! Follow them here on tumblr. Take a look at some of my favorites:
Ampersand Lamp better known as Lampersand. I found this on ModCloth. Seems to be two of my favorite things Ampersands and Christmas lights.
Definitely wishlisting this because my birthday and the holidays are approaching us 😉
Someone I know just posted this on facebook, (I don’t know who to credit). Taking old records and repurposing them for business or postcards… good idea! I have such a postcard collection too, this would be fun. I’m thinking about it.. I’ll have to find an old record from my parents’ collection that I won’t miss too much.
