CLEARANCE! GEMSTONE BEAD SALE!

So I've temporarily reopened  my old Bead shop to try and move all of these gorgeous gemstones out of my studio! That means out of this world deals for all of you who enjoy working with quality faceted stones! I've drastically discounted my old inventory to try and make more room in my studio so I can focus better on my new line of jewelry. 

What are you waiting for! Go check it out before everything is sold :)

also I promise to have a update in photos of what I've been doing the past week or so!

For now, have fun browsing my new shop at 1000 Markets!

Shop update!

Hello! I finally got an air conditioner in the studio so I'm a lot cooler while I'm working on the shop. As you can see, I have almost everything ready, and hopefully the shop will be live this weekend! In other exciting news, my little bird pendants and some bracelets will be featured in a great brick and mortar shop here in Baltimore very soon. I'll have the details when everything is set.  hope everyone is staying cool!

Garden Update!

Just went to the opening of the Towson Farmers Market with my wonderful mother today, we got berries! I was glad we didn't miss them this year. Also just wanted to post photos of the veggie garden as of today. As you can see, it's coming along rather wildly but nicely. I'm going to stake the sugar snaps tomorrow because they are growing into themselves (oops).

Other than that, I'm steaming ahead with the shop preparations. So very many photos to sort and crop. It's getting there slowly, I have about 30 items of 50 finished.  Also I was asked to show my work at Towson Universities Asian Arts Gallery for their Many Moons Festival this Fall, so look for me there in September! I'll keep you updated as always. I hope everyone can get outside today and enjoy the breeze!

Shop Photos

Such a nice breeze is coming in through the studio window today! I almost feel bad about being inside. But, since I just received the new packaging materials for the shop yesterday night, I've been working hard to get everything ready. The top photo is the cover for the earring section in my wholesale book! The bottom is my hand painted packaging. The shop will be open soon...

Art In the Park Recap

I forgot to do my recap yesterday because I was celebrating with Kirk our belated 1st year wedding anniversary! The cake from the freezer was not as good as I had expected :) However, Art in the Park was much better than I had expected! Saturday was such a wonderful way to end my three show stint. Fairly good weather, kindest people, and excellent art. I was so pleased with how this show went. I got to chat with so many people with such a great appreciation for artists and their work. Thanks again to everyone who stopped by to support me! 

Also, I had a gallery offer extended to me so I'll let you know what happens with that later on! For this week I'm working on the shop, I'm about 1/2 way finished listing items and soon it will be fully functional! I'll list the link and post about it here. 

Enjoy this wonderful Monday!

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!

Shop Open!

Hello!! So It's another dreary day here  but despite the bad weather, I have some good news! The shop at 1000 markets is finally up and running! Hooray! So if you were unable to attend the show this past weekend, here is your chance to view a sampling of my designs. Let me know what you think!  

Shop Appus Design Here!

THANK YOU!

A HUGE Thank you to all the people who made it out to see me at the Home Show this weekend! What a wonderful show it was! It is always a great joy to be able to connect and talk with people and to display my work on such a personal level. We had a lot of new faces and I think that is incredibly wonderful. 

I'm also very very pleased that  people showed interest in my new metals collection. That is so great because I'm hoping to incorporate much more of that into my new work from here on out. 

Also, if you couldn't make it out this weekend, select works will be up for sale  with free shippng on 1000 markets later this evening. I will post the link when it is up!

Again, thank you everyone for coming out and making this one of the most enjoyable shows all around!  Now I'm going to take a small break and RELAX :) Have a great rest of the weekend!

-Amy

This will give people who cannot attend the opportunity to purchase. The Trunk Show will be online starting  Friday the 23rd - Monday the 26th.  I will post a link to the online Show when it gets closer!  Hope everyone has a good rest of the week!
