Closed FeeBay Store

Friday, July 28th, 2006

I closed my FeeBay store this week. Believe it or not, their fees were too high.
I went to the Gem Faire this morning. They had wholesale hours in the morning before they opened to the public. I was like a kid in a candy store! I got a lot of stones in fall colors, […]

July 21-27: Portion of Etsy Sales to Help Rescue Animals!

Friday, July 21st, 2006

For the week of July 21-27, I will be donating 10% of my gross sales from Etsy (including custom orders) to the Silicon Valley Humane Society. I have procured a matching donation, so if we raise $200 on Etsy this week, we will have $400 to donate to the animal shelter. I will be continuing […]

How many migraines can one girl get? (Should that be my question of the day? Or this?)
Today was another jewelry-making migraine day. The cats have been incredibly helpful in the jewelry-making process. They can all wrap wire like pros now.
Question of the Day: Has anyone out there trained their cat to do something to […]

Overused Plots

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Today was near 100 degrees, and it wasn’t much fun at all. I added a bunch of new jewelry to the Lava Jewelry web site, just before the server went down for several hours.
Question of the Day: How many obligatory sci-fi plot lines can you list?
I’ll start:
1. Body swap episode
2. Stuck in video game […]

Please post all of your worst “lava” puns!

Photography Woes

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

I spent all of yesterday taking photos that aren’t usuable.
I use a white background for my jewelry shots, so auto-metering makes my shots too dark. When I increase the exposure time, I get burn-out from the reflection of light off of the silver, and camera shake becomes a real problem. I went out and […]

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

I’ll be participating in a trunk show in San Francisco next month. I’ll post a flyer here once I have a flyer to post. It should be a lot of fun - there will be food and a wide variety of arts and crafts for perusal and purchase! Mark your calendars!
I started working on my […]

Inconsistencies

Monday, July 10th, 2006

Last night, while tired and migrainey, I sketched some new earring designs. Today I’m trying to make them reality. Wish me luck.
I went to a bead show yesterday, and picked up a bunch of basalt (lava) beads. I also got a great deal on some rubies. Pretty exciting. So exciting, in fact, that I forgot […]

Typical Day

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

I spent today with a migraine, making jewelry. That’s my typical day lately. Today I made many pairs of chandelier earrings. I made a few pairs with Swarovski crystal - very pretty! Most are my typical gemstones, though… carnelian, garnet, peridot, etc.
I’m having a hard time getting my sales started. I haven’t sold anything on […]
