As seen in the Studio

Good Morning! I finished cleaning out the studio for the  10000000th time last night! What a chore! It was worth it though because now I feel like I can get 10x the amount of work done. The photo up top is a neat formation of melted plastic from  the drills friction heating up enough to melt the shavings coming off the bead. I thought it was rather pretty, like an ice formation.  The other photo is the strand of HUGE sparkling Pyrite nuggets that I'm excited to work with today!  All new work will be presented at the Fall Home Show!

Reminder to everyone that the Official date and time for the Fall Home Show is 

OCTOBER  24 & 25

SATURDAY       11 - 4 pm

SUNDAY            12 - 3 pm

First Fall Show Recap

Thanks everyone who came out to see me at the show this Saturday! It was full of surprises and lots of new faces! I have a lot of work ahead of me as the next shows are rather large.  Here is a photo of my setup last Saturday. All I could think was that I've come a loooong way in  booth design! Debuting that weekend was also the new teal blue Appus Design Packaging. Was very pleased with the new look! 

Also couldn't help but mention what a GORGEOUS Sky we had during the whole day! It made the show go by a lot smoother! This is a photo from where our booth was. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I am exhausted from it personally! More photos of some interesting pieces tomorrow!

Fun and New !

Came back from the beach to find a new supply package waiting for me! I have a horde of gorgeous new gemstones to work with and I can't wait to get started! I'll be listing some of my overstock in my etsy supply shop Pearlicious! So check it out for some amazing deals on rubies, cz, sapphires, and more!

While I was at the beach I fell in love with these adorable food shaped erasers from Iwako Japan. I couldn't resist the tea ceremony set along with a handful of other deliciously adorable pieces including a taiyaki fish pastry, Japanese soda, and cup ramen erasers. Check out Iwako's website for the complete list. They are so cute and completely functional! (though they are too cute for me to actually use to erase anything!) 

 This week I'm gearing up for my home show which has been postponed for August (more details later!)  along with applying for my other fall/ winter shows and  finalizing the new Website.  For now,  I 'll be tucked away in my studio  working on all of that! 

Hope everyone has a most excellent week!
