Felt Club 2008 - Fabulous!

It's a true pleasure to be in the presence of creative, unique, inspiring and enthusiastic people such as those designers who showed at Felt Club this year! Congrats to all who organized and showed. Hope it was great for you!

Despite the horrific fires in So. Cal this weekend the event still drew a huge crowd. That speaks volumes of the dedication to indie-design-lovers and the market for handmade goods.

Not only is it a great shopping opportunity but it's just a fun event to go to, period. This year's event housed 125 different designers and featured dj's spinning, craft workshops, live performances, swap-o-rama, food and yes, even wine and beer. Good times for sure. EVEN if you don't love indie arts and design, you'd love the energy of this event. If you didn't make it this year - check it out in 2009! I hope to show next year! http://www.reveriestudio.etsy.com/

Recycled, Repurposed Jewelry

Yay! Two of my designs incorporating repurposed findings have sold. I started a jewelry category that blends old, random metal pieces with semi precious stones and sterling silver. I lovingly refer to this series as Gorgeous Grunge. I had a whopping 2 pieces in this series. Woo hoo..... I meant to add more but you know, got busy and sidetracked with other things.

So, a lovely lady purchased both Gorgeous Grunge styles this evening and it has inspired me to add more repurposed and recycled materials to my jewelry. I'll be seeking out nuts, bolts, miscellaenous pieces and doo dads to blend with new materials for Gorgeous Grunge starting tomorrow. Hmmm, that's ambitious...maybe over the weekend. Until then here are the sold pieces ....
