Lookie Here!

So A friend of mine kindly pointed this out to me today! I guess the photographers at Artscape thought my booth was pretty nifty because I'm on the Baltimore Small Business website! hahaha who knew? And I look gorgeous all sweaty and shiny, awesome! :) This made me smile though, thinking back to last years Artscape. Crossing my fingers I'll be back this year! No guarantees though, we shall see.

Oh also I've been tinkering around with the website the last few days. What do you all think? Yay or Nay? Check it out : www.sunahjewelry.com

BEADS! Available in the Shop!

 

Ohhh A brand new design is up and ready for order! The new Beads collection is hands down amazing! You have full control over the look of this necklace. Choose your beads and slide them onto your favorite chain or add one of our little silver snake chains to hang your pretties! Wear one alone or slide on a few more to make a statement. See how much fun this is?! Oh and I forgot to mention, there are 40 different patterns to choose from!

Don't believe it, go check them out for yourself HERE

Hooray for Beads! Hooray for Spring!

Photo Update

Finally finished the second pair of the vine earrings. I'd been sketching these babies for about a month and never even attempted to make them. Lots of trial and error and here they are!

 

Look who grew a lot bigger! Also, the mystery is solved: the middle plants ARE morning glories! Who knew? :)

 

...Ta da! Here is a middle photo of the business nook transformation. It's coming along nicely, remember how terrible it looked before? Just a bit more elbow grease and it should be finished.

 

and actually, I sort of tore up my whole studio and had an extreme home makeover moment. I'm super happy with how it is turning out. I was subsisting on coffee and bananas that week and just wanted to move some furniture. I'll have to post some photos after the dust settles. It's looks verrrry different than before. In a good way.

 

I thought these chains were pretty. 

Plus, Loch Raven was a wonderful show like always! After coming off the 5 day Home and Garden show I appreciate the one day shows immensely more. It was lovely to see you all and I even had some surprise visitors too! You know who you are :) Thank you all so much for making last weekend a blast!

Ooo one last note: I got a Swiffer for my birthday from my Mom and I'm so excited to Swif today! (and make banana bread from these really old bananas that have been on the counter!)

Growing Fast!

Wow! Must be the steam from the sink because the lettuce and flowers I planted just 3 days ago have sprouted! It was supposed to take 7 -14 days, hope they are what I planted... It's been so lovely out that I set these little pots outdoors to soak up some rays. Also, went for my birthday lunch with my favorite New Yorker, Jen and she got me the cutest little chickie timer! I'm going to bake some chicken cookies tonight just so I can use this little guy. Love it!

I'll leave you with a photo of my soon-to-be business center. This is the before shot, it looks drastically different right now so I'll try and post an "After" shot later!

so cluttered and colorless! blaaa! but not for long!

Tangerine Tango!

According to Pantone, the color of Spring 2012 is Tangerine Tango. I decided to make myself a little set using this years "in" color. I ended up loving the necklace design so I'll be introducing the little triangles necklace into my normal collection! It's just so dainty and has such great movement. 

It's also been abnormally warm for March, so I planted some lettuce in the kitchen and some hardy green beans out in the container garden yesterday. We'll see how they grow this early in the year.

I'm cleaning the studio AGAIN. That's about all for today! 

Pray for Japan

Tonight we are going to the premiere of the Pray for Japan documentary in DC to support the tsunami disaster relief in Japan. I was working my show over the weekend so I didn't get to post this on the anniversary of the earthquake, however my thoughts were with the those who were effected that day.

Check out the Pray for Japan organization website to learn more about how to help and where this movie will be shown in your area.

Weekend Recap

This weekend I displayed some of my newest creations! I don't know if it was the weather or the soy latte but I was just filled with inspiration this last week. Above are some photos of my new designs. I was really surprised that my new beads collection was received so well, I think all of the new combo necklaces I designed found new homes this weekend.  I have to say that this years MD Home and Garden Show was the nicest I've shown at in all 4 years. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and it was a real pleasure meeting my newest customers of the year :)  Next I'll be showing my wares at my old Highschool: Loch Raven Spring Craft Fair! So come out on the 24th from 10am - 3pm and shop around for something handmade!

Now I have to attend to the house which, like always, is a mess during the show. Opening the windows and letting the air come in! Hope you all have a lovely Monday!

Everyday Lovely

I don't have much time today, but here is a new bracelet design that I'm really loving! It uses my new beads strung onto soft leather and antique brass. A very lovely everyday piece.

Now I am going over to tidy up my space at the MD Home and Garden show for a few hours next, then waking up early to work the show tomorrow morning!

Weekend Recap

Then there was LIGHT!

100 tiles

Brand new, one of a kind!

Craisins and coffee. That is basically what I subsisted on this whole weekend while working the show.  Despite a minor leak in the roof over our tent, this weekend went extremely well! I was particularly happy with the light that Kirk rigged up last minute for this setup. It really gave a boost to my display this time around. 

For a few hours of the show it felt like I saw friends and customers from all of my previous shows! It was a lot of fun :) Thank you to everyone who came out and supported my work as always! I appreciate you all truly from the bottom of my heart.

I am continuing to work hard for this next weekend to finish up the MD Home and Garden show which will begin this Friday. Also how do you like my new one of a kind pair of earrings? I'm feeling like a giveaway may be in the near future....

Packing Up

Today I am packing up and getting ready for setup at the MD Home and Garden Spring show! 

My goal is to have a simple and clean display this year. Tonight I will be preforming some "surgery" on a light fixture that I want to use this weekend, so let's cross our fingers I don't burn down my studio.

Really looking forward to this first show of the season! Come out this weekend to say hi!

Hello!

I recently had to take photos of myself working for a show application and afterward I realized how very few photos I have shown of myself on this blog. So to help put a face to the girl behind Sun Ah Blair Jewelry, here you go!  I'll even throw in a few random facts about me and my work:

1) The first show I ever did was at the Baltimore Zoo

2) While in Japan I picked up some amazing cookie cutters that I currently use in my work.

3) Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette is a constant inspiration for me when I'm in a rut.

4) Although I love working in clay, I'm OCD about getting the stuff completely off my hands after work.

5) I must be vigorous in hiding my earring stands from my kitties, they enjoy carrying them off behind 

my back :)

I'll try harder to share more about myself and the inner stories of my business !

-----------------------------

I'll be at the MD home and Garden show this weekend and the next so come by and get inspired to do some spring planting and say hello and take a peak at my new Spring work as well!
