Another Spring Sneak Peek

I have been working away at creating new designs using my spring color palette of coral, denim and jade and the creating continues!  Here is a sneak peak of new earrings design that will be at my booth at Make It Vancouver and then will be found on my etsy shop after the show.  I just love wearing bigger earrings especially in summer because they add that much needed pop of color and sparkle but still staying light and airy.

If you are planning on going to Make It Vancouver on April 19th, 20th and 21st and you want to save a couple of dollars on the entry fee then don't forget to purchase your tickets beforehand on their website.  The more tickets you purchase the more you save so get a group of friends together to purchase tickets and have a great afternoon shopping local.

Creativity, Business and Success...they can all go together

       Coming up on April 19th-21st it will be my fifth year participating in a craft show in Vancouver called Make It which is organized by sister/brother team Jenna and Chandler Herbut.  This show is by far the best one I have ever done and I always end up doing lots of shopping there too.  There is so much variety, so many talented artists and it is so much fun!

Jenna has branched out and started Make It University which provides business training and general help on how to get your handmade business up and running. This talented and busy woman does not stop here and is now creating Make It Happen An Independent Handmade Documentary with her boyfriend Neil Mangan which features interviews with successful handmade artists of all kinds to show that creativity, business and success can happen.  The trailer can be seen here and if you contribute to their campaign to raise funds there are perks to be had.

There are so many creative, talented people out there and it is exciting to see Jenna and Neil trying to spread the word and love for the handmade world.

Spring Inspired Color Palette

Spring certainly is here in Vancouver! I just came back from a beautiful walk in the sun around my neighborhood where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and there are lots of other flowers out as well.  With spring comes new jewelry and Make It Spring Show.  For the first time I have actually picked out a color palette of coral, denim and jade to inspire me as I design. 

Here is a sneak peak of some of the pieces that I have been working on in this spring color palette:

The pendants are a new design and the studs and tear drops are previous designs that I think are going to be gorgeous and simple for spring and summer with any outfit.  There will be more new pieces and more detailed photos to come as we get closer to the Make It April 19th-21st show dates.
