Wooden Bird

So I'm into the last week of my crazy three-shows-in-a-row spree. I won't deny that I'm looking forward to next week for a bit of respite. However, it really has pushed me in  a way that I think is rather healthy, at least from an artistic stand point. They say that this type of stress, once in a while, is good for your brain. Weather or not that is true, I'm just happy for the feeling of purpose and direction these past three weeks have given me. 

Aside from working for these three shows, I've slowly been preparing to open my new website and online stores! Right now I'm awaiting confirmation from 1000 Markets for the green light to open my shop. I'm very excited and I hope you all are as well. I'll post here when I hear back!

What can you do in one day?

Today I kept thinking to myself, "what can I do in a day?" It seems like somedays I only complete a fraction of what I thought I could get done, and other days it seem like I'm super-human. Today was in between so I guess that's why I was thinking about productivity.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could work at our full potential five days a week? Well, at least I did get a few things done, that's better than nothing :) 

Some exciting news though, I am in the middle of transitioning my website from my current host to a more artist friendly hosting service. I know that I JUST put my site up, but this host is so much better and I'm positive you all will love the new site 100% more. So in the next few days I'll be creating a link from my old site to the new one so please book mark the new site when it goes up! 

Blog Change and Artscape!

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we are officially changing our blog address from Appusdesign.blogspot to SunAhJewelry.blogspot.com!  We will make the official transfer in a few days so make sure you bookmark the new site as :

And finally, I just wanted to say that I have made my application to Artscape on time! You will be the first to know if I make it or not :)

(p.s The photo has a few peaks at the new collection! Check them out at the gallery section on the new website.)

Productive day!

Today was another gorgeous day! Got out in the morning and went hiking and got nice and muddy. Then came back and aired out the whole house and baked some delicious dairy free oatmeal cookies.  Also did some funny recycling with some old socks. I made a cute collar for my little white kitty and a pair of cuffs for myself :) Also in business news, my website is almost finished! hooray! It's very simple, but at least it will be up. 

You can visit it right now in it's unfinished state here:

The gallery is up with one set of photos so far. I hope to have more up tomorrow or the next day. Let's all enjoy this great weather the rest of the week!

Website Up and Coming!

Hooray! After many toilsome hours of work the beginnings of the new website are finally online and running! There is still many, many, many,many....tweaks to iron out, BUT I am thankful that it is moving in the right direction! Look forward new designs that I will be diligently (as I can) listing beginning tomorrow, let me know if there are any problems as they will arise as with anything being published for the first time. Thank you for your patience!

Next step a New Etsy Shop! 

New Jewelry

Finally, Summer has arrived! Finals are over and I'm back in the studio creating what I love: eye catching colorful jewelry! The website is just about up and running and has been restocked for what I hope will be a continuous, joyous work in progress. From now on, look forward to semi consistent updates through the summer and probably not so many depending on my schedule during the fall semester. I'm currently working on a collection of opulent earrings using pearls, faceted gemstones, and sterling silver which I hope to preview sometime in the next few weeks. It will be an exciting line of ear candy! Actually I'm so excited about it that here is a tiny tiny preview:

The rest will be up on my website and at my shows starting most likely in July along with a number of new designs for the summer!
